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.

    The Democrats (thereā€™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 (thereā€™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.

      Iā€™m not the same person, Iā€™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. Itā€™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 youā€™re commenting to people.

          I donā€™t need any followup comment after though, no interest. Just do it for yourself to recognize how youre acting.
