No surprise.

Now one has to ask, what’s next?

More BS from Operation Mockingbird fakenews media.

Quote from the “article”…
according to a new memo a source provided to NBC News.

According to an UNNAMED source provided to NBC (fake)news, BLAH BLAH BLAH. All things President Trump baaa, baaad, baaad SMH

Distraction from Bobby about to get confirmed after Dems cut their noses off despite their faces to cut down a lifelong Democrat that wants to make America heathy?

“This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze,” she wrote on X. “It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo. Why? To end any confusion created by the court’s injunction. The President’s EO’s on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented.”

This is just an opportunity for the fat pork barrel pigs to make a stink against Trump. Not one is capable of saying that a moratorium on spending is necessary or offer a word of assistance to reel in an out of control bloated government.

They will defend the absurd, the indefensible if it gives an opportunity to criticize Trump. It is Trump 2.0 and the Dems have learned nothing!

Cool, just keep paving the way for Vance in 2028.

I don’t disagree.

But the federal funding Trump froze was money that’s already been alocated by congress.

Unless Trump was crowned King, which he hasn’t nor will he be, he is violating the law by withholding funds that are beyond his constitutional authority of withholding.

Congress still controls the purse strings.

I am not sure we know that to be absolute. OMB has obligations, but some of those obligations may be under the executive branch such as cutting spending.

This is the 1st article I have read and so far it seems there are decent arguments on both sides.
