@janetmillsforme.bsky.social Apparently Susan Collins supports Trump’s unconstitutional and illegal usurpation of Congress’s power.

NYT notification: "The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to withhold in foreign aid that had already been appropriated by Congress."
What purpose does a law actually serve at this point

The NYT reported that a $9 million worth of contraception from USAID was destroyed even though the Gates Foundation was willing to distribute it. The contents weren’t the administration’s to destroy. Those contents belong to the American Taxpayer. #usaid, #impoundment, #unconstitutional
So three cheers today for Congressional appropriators--but they need to do more. Right now, #Vought has assumed control over the NIH by #impoundment, illegal #terminations and by hacking the agency to death by #executiveorders and #bureaucratic shenanigans. 6/
Because as Director of the Office of Management and Budget (#OMB) #Vought has decided that he can withhold appropriated funds at his whim. This is #impoundment and it's #illegal, but he has and will continue to do it. Congress must explicitly confront this #lawlessness now or become irrelevant. 2/
That's called #impoundment and it's #illegalAF.
This is why just restoring near 2024/5 levels of agency funding isn't sufficient and anyone who yatta-yatta's over the federal staffing purges is living in magical Christmas land. Also #impoundment is now acceptable thanks to #SCOTUS. 🥳
But by a 2-to-1 vote, the appeals court panel ruled that under the #Impoundment Control Act of 1974, only the Government Accountability Office #USGAO], which serves as #Congress's independent #watchdog, could challenge #Trump’s efforts to withhold #ForeignAid funding. The panel found that groups […]
Since taking office, #Trump & his advisers have consistently claimed expansive #authority to freeze federal dollars allocated for projects they have endeavored to snuff out — an action known as #impoundment that legal scholars & #aid groups had considered to be strictly limited under federal […]
Unreal
#Trump Can Withhold Billions in #Aid, #AppealsCourt Rules
In a 2-to-1 vote, a federal appeals court panel ruled that #ForeignAid groups who sued to recover funds that #Trump froze lacked the legal right to bring the challenge.
The decision, which centered on Trump’s authority to […]
Having taken a full-blown Appropriations Law course recently, this is absolutely spot-on. #Recissions #Impoundment #WhatConstitution

Since returning to office, #RussVought has argued that the federal #law limiting #Trump’s spending powers is unconstitutional. And Dodaro has acknowledged that the admin has “not been cooperative” in the investigations.
The WH disabled a website this spring that had helped #oversight ofcls track […]
The next month, Paoletta told a federal agency directly that it should “pay no heed whatsoever to GAO’s conclusions, as they are incorrect” on the matter of #impoundment. Paoletta said the #GAO took an overly broad view of the #law, & #Trump could legally withhold money temporarily “to determine […]
The scrutiny has enraged a WH focused on *cutting spending* that does not align w/Trump’s political views & priorities.
In a May letter to the #GAO, Mark Paoletta, #OMB general counsel, described GAO’s requests as “voluminous, burdensome & inappropriately invasive.” He said the #Trump admin […]
But the GAO’s recent work on #impoundment has proved more politically contentious, & under #Trump, it has been met w/fierce #Republican opposition.
In May, the #watchdog found that the admin wrongly blocked funds under a $5B program to build #EV charging stations, a component of the #Biden-era […]
The #GAO has twice determined in recent months that Trump’s actions violated rules that prohibit him from unilaterally canceling #funding, a move known as #impoundment. The office has 46 open investigations into other allegations that #Trump illegally withheld funds, the agency confirmed this […]
The Democratic Leaders, including Schumer, are not tough enough. Why don't Demo Senators walk out & let voters clearly see what Repubs are doing. Our continued presence in the chamber gives legitimacy to Trump burning the Constitution. #Senate #impoundment #Schumer #NPR #Recission

A reminder for no reason that #impoundment is illegal
