He’s now 24yo, his 42nd surgery on the horizon.
He’s dependent on his Medicaid waiver for which we waited 11yrs.
The NIH is in our contacts ffs.

According to a Nixon-era law & SCOTUS case, presidents can’t hold back congressionally allocated funds because they disagree with a project. But that’s what Donald Trump is trying to do & the real question is whether this SCOTUS will let him get away with it. joycevance.substack.com/p/impoundment

We all know that Congress has “the power of the purse,” but what if he disagrees with the programs they decide to fund?

Since Felon47 has taken it upon himself to call Canada the 51st state, renamed the Gulf of Mexico, talks of buying Greenland & taking over the Panama Canal with force, we have decided to rename the Great Lakes. We will follow suit with Denmark by telling the Orange Blob to f^ck off

As someone else pointed out this is the exact same trick Elon played at his companies. It’s not a “buyout.” The money has not been authorized by Congress. They are playing games. Don’t fall for this bullshit.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.
