Summary

Senator Bernie Sanders condemned Trump’s order to freeze all federal loans and grants, calling it a “dangerous move towards authoritarianism” and “blatantly unconstitutional.”

The directive, exempting Social Security and Medicare, is expected to impact universities, nonprofits, food assistance programs, health centers, and disabled veterans.

Sanders emphasized that Congress holds the “power of the purse” and urged Americans to oppose the order.

Attorneys general are preparing legal challenges to overturn the freeze.

    The Democrats (there’s five or six of them)

    I can see how your first comment would be construed as if there was a way more significant number of them

    The Democrats (there’s five or six of them)

    Which part of 5 or 6 is confusing you?

    The number is 6. Is that even more confusing ? Was it because I wrote the words instead of the number? How few Democrats do you think are in the party?

    Fetterman (D-PA), Yea
    Hassan (D-NH), Yea
    Kaine (D-VA), Yea
    Kim (D-NJ), Yea
    Shaheen (D-NH), Yea
    Slotkin (D-MI), Yea

      Dude. Tone it the fuck down.

      I’m not the same person, I’m explaining your wording from your first comment could be misunderstood. Which, I will remind you, in its entirety:

      Absolutely. There are also Dems in Congress/Senate that have been voting yea to his bills. It’s disgusting.

      So stop behaving like a dick please. At no point in THAT comment, which is what I said, did you say a number.

          Hoooo boy.

          Please actually read the comment you replied to, and what I quoted if your entire first comment again, then read up the chain. Then think about how you’re commenting to people.

          I don’t need any followup comment after though, no interest. Just do it for yourself to recognize how youre acting.
