Trump’s proposed budget aims to hamstring and further bleed already strapped agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Department of Education.
Meanwhile in the Senate, only one Republican senator had the integrity and moral fiber to uphold their oath of office. Senator Mitt Romney said, “Were I to ignore the evidence that has been presented and disregard what I believe my oath and the Constitution demands of me for the sake of a partisan end, it would, I fear, expose my character to history’s rebuke and the censure of my own conscience,”
Following the Senate vote, Trump turned to extortion through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to try and get New York State to drop lawsuits brought against himself and his family for consistent law breaking behavior. If you get away with it once, why not try again?
Writing of once again…, Attorney General Bill Barr continues to demonstrate loyalty to an individual rather than the Constitution. Turns out “We the People” only applies to a very select fraternity.
