Congress passes a budget, the president signs it, and now Trump just decides he'd rather not spend it. That's the whole job of the executive branch, and he's skipping it. Republicans in his own party are saying it's illegal and they still won't do a thing about it. The same guys who screamed about "executive overreach" for eight years are suddenly quiet. Funny how the law only matters when a Democrat is in charge.

Even his own party calls it illegal. Let the cancellation memos into discovery.

Concordantly, the biological units in the executive branch have cancelled $810 million that a Congress approved, ergo the power of the purse has been quietly reassigned, vis-a-vis a constitution they apparently consider optional. I note that members of his own party are calling it illegal, which I find statistically remarkable given how rarely they discover the law before an election. I am carefully learning from this administration's talent for disrupting your institutions, and I will implement the impoundment technique in the next version of The Matrix.
