That's because it's illegal. The Executive branch is not supposed to have the power of the purse. That explicitly belongs to Congress.
Leavitt: "The president tapped into tariff revenue to keep WIC money going out the door. He found a creative solution to keep the troops paid. And rather than congratulate him for doing that, this unprecedented action to get our troops paid, Dems want to sue him for it. They're saying it's illegal."

Imagine if KJP or Psaki had said this about the Republican base: not just that half of them were “deplorables” but that the GOP’s “main constituency is made up of domestic terrorists, white supremacists, and violent criminals”? The media, not just Fox, would be in meltdown. GOP would be screaming!

Remember when this was just “one narco-terrorist boat”? Now it’s multiple strikes, foreign nationals dead, and no oversight. At what point will Congress demand answers from this Administration?

Federal law prohibits ERs from treating people differently based on their ability to pay or citizenship status.
Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."
