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.

    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.
