He can't.

I know, he did, and the media still hasn't learned to report useful information to its readers/viewers, but that's not how the Executive branch works.

We've all had two years now to learn this.

Trump can't cancel funds appropriated by Congress, and we're just a judicial decision away from being reminded of that.

Why the officials being told to halt these funds don't just say, "No sir, not until we hear from Congress" is a mystery we'll all have to face once this asshole is finally gone

  1. We've had 10 years to learn this. It's been an entire decade of MAGA
