The Administration’s theory that they can withhold the money approved by Congress until the end of the fiscal year and then say, “Time’s up!”, might be valid in a universe where there is no constitutional requirement to faithfully execute the law.

The remedy is to impeach Trump, again. When the impeachment/removal process fails to do its part, so does the rest of the constitution.

Hilarious we are supposed to rely upon "Roberts & the 5 trumpers" rather than Congress giving dt basically a line item veto &/or violation of the impound act. See immunity also impunity.

Schumer's "pout" in the picture seems like he's getting acting lessons from his uh... niece(?) Amy or something. Talk about fake & played up. 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

Did Schumer get a spine transplant? The reason I ask is that if he didn't none of this will materialize. The two Senators from NY, Schumer and Gillibrand love backroom deals and hate floor fights. Lawyers you know.

They need to keep doing their jobs and to stop listening to the felon-rapist-pedophile. No closing down. Show up and make laws everyday. If none from the group of pedophiles is there - then vote anyhow. Act like they do not exist.

The problem with this is Congress has no enforcement arm. They can make all the laws they like, they require the executive to enforce them

I know. But the president doesn't have the right to pass tariffs....and here we are. If he can do that, why can't they do what is not theirs to do?

Mike Keating @mikekeating.bsky.social

the president can pass tariffs because he controls the enforcement of that. again, Congress can pass whatever laws they want but who or what is going to physically enforce the following of those laws?

But if states don't listen to the felon? We can't keep following the rules because they aren't following the rules.

if states dont they get the Natl Guard sent in, possibly, as we're seeing. thats the enforcement arm say congressional Dems pass a law that says the president cant have a crypto coin. Trump changes nothing. by what mechanism is he forced to? is chuck schumer going to personally fight him over it?

Then stop the national guard. The felon needs to be treated as such. And dems need to figure out how. Personally I'd love a fight between Schumer and the felon...and least we'd all get a much needed laugh.

i mean, yeah, i agree. but Congress doesnt have their own military force so, again, they can make whatever laws they want, they lack the ability to enforce them
