Trump proposes to rescind AIDS funds. Congress rejects the proposal. So Trump and his henchman Russ Vought just refuse to spend the money and try to hide that decision from Congress and the public. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/h...

Personally, I don’t think Trump knows half of what his henchmen are up to. But he’s still complicit as he has given them free rein to do anything.

Why do we even have a congress? This administration ignores anything they dont like, and the repuglicans are happy to let Taco get away with whatever he wants. And the dems? Do they exist, or are they just mythical creatures? We never hear from them other than occasional strongly worded memos.

“In July, the Trump administration withdrew a proposed $400 million rescission from PEPFAR’s budget in the face of bipartisan Senate opposition. But that fight was a distraction, according to staff members who work on the program …”

“… because, they said, they have repeatedly been told by Mr. Vought’s budget office that the program would be receiving only about half of the $6 billion appropriated by Congress for the 2025 fiscal year, even with that $400 million restored.”

One note: Vought is hardly Trump’s “henchman.” Rather, Trump is Vought’s puppet.

Because Trump & his #MAGAt minions don't believe they have to obey the constitution. The constitution they raised their hand to & swore an oath, an oath that means nothing. The oath was a means to an end. Lying to get their way is what they do. It's who they are. How to more people not see this?

Having trained in the late 80s and early 90s, I witnessed the revolution in treating AIDS. In those days, we made huge advances in science, medicine, and empathy for our fellow human beings. We were summoned to be better and to do better. We did it and learned from it. This is no time to forget.
