I finally got what's bugged me about all these stories on the crippling of the US govt: all of them speak of "cuts" when, in fact, only Congress can 'cut' funding, and it has done nothing of the sort. The story describes illegal & unconstitutional impoundment, BUT SAYS NOT ONE WORD ABOUT IT

Trump isn't even President and the chaos has begun. Will the government shut down tomorrow? Is Musk secretly the President? Do Republicans have a plan?
Nobody knows, folks.
