Passionate and honest @replsimon.bsky.social lets the world know what is happening if this budget is passed.
Unbelievable cruelty upon those who need it most. And after hearing this, those in the committee still voted yes.
Do you think they'll go to the public to say why?

Trump’s murderous freezing of aid that Congress enacted a law to send to Ukraine unconstitutionally usurps the power of the purse, violates the 1974 Impoundment Act, and is an impeachable “high crime and misdemeanor” akin to the extortion for which the Senate should have convicted Trump in 2020.
