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.

    I would really appreciate it you didn’t put any words in my mouth. I never said all politicians are equally bad.

    My stance would be more accurately described as all politicians are bad, but to varying degrees.

    Some are simply less bad. But all bad.

    Have a good day.
