Donald Trump just tried to unilaterally and illegally cut billions of dollars in funding for everyday Americans so he can pay for his tax cuts for billionaires.
Congressional Republicans' deafening silence is a betrayal of their constituents and their oath of office.

At least we know one thing for certain about the next 4 years: Anything that happens in America that is good, Trump will take credit for it. Everything that happens which is bad, Trump will blame Biden or some other Democrat. I think we’ve got that one figured out.
