Trump and Vought are now breaking both sides of spending law. They’re illegally not spending where the law requires them to spend, and they’re illegally spending where they don’t have the money to spend.
What we have is an appropriations king.
Spending “deals” are meaningless under that setup.

Many others are posting abt this too but this graphic viscerally shows how dire the presidential budget is for NASA 🔭🧪and worldwide astronomy. I can’t express how sad this makes me, as an American scientist. And it’s mostly already paid for projects, so also no logic in terms of saving money.

Two things stand out today - the first is MagaMike stating that “Dems are flailing right now” - in this, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Bible Study buddy is CORRECT - because of the second story - @schumer.senate.gov is unserious or too old to fight - either way, RESIGNATION is the only answer now

Is any senator, member of Congress, or really anyone in a position of any actual power or authority, going to step up and express outrage with an actual plan to DO SOMETHING?
These dipshit social media posts being like “Things are bad and illegal! 🥴” are about to make my head explode
