Summary

Senator Bernie Sanders condemned Trumpā€™s order to freeze all federal loans and grants, calling it a ā€œdangerous move towards authoritarianismā€ and ā€œblatantly unconstitutional.ā€

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 ā€œpower of the purseā€ and urged Americans to oppose the order.

Attorneys general are preparing legal challenges to overturn the freeze.

    And there it is! The both-sides-bad anti-liberal argument you always hear from a Tankie who probably supported Trump from the start.

          The more you explained your point the less support you got. How do you think you have more support here dude? Youā€™re way in the negatives.

          Fuck why am I arguing with someone who canā€™t figure out one digit numbers. Have a nice one dude.

            Most people wouldnā€™t waste time looking past the first couple of comments, you already outed yourself as an authoritarian promoting centrism.
