Summary

Senator Bernie Sanders condemned Trump’s order to freeze all federal loans and grants, calling it a “dangerous move towards authoritarianism” and “blatantly unconstitutional.”

The directive, exempting Social Security and Medicare, is expected to impact universities, nonprofits, food assistance programs, health centers, and disabled veterans.

Sanders emphasized that Congress holds the “power of the purse” and urged Americans to oppose the order.

Attorneys general are preparing legal challenges to overturn the freeze.

    I’m pretty sure that people who didn’t vote or voted for other candidates didn’t decide he should be king, kind of by definition.

      Nah they saw the choices and didn’t care to participate in any meaningful way so they can’t just wash their hands of the choice they made.
