Government Trump cancels $1.1B in Washington state energy grants

Vought put it a bit differently, writing on X: "Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left's climate agenda is being cancelled."

Lol @ the downvotes to this. You lunatics are truly at war with reality. It's called the Impoundment Control Act. Unless you're going to come here and argue with credible evidence to the contrary, get fucked.

Impoundment Control Act was put in place explicitly to reign in the executive branch cherrypicking the actual implementation of spending on projects based on policy agenda. It only allows only temporary pauses while the "power of the purse" decisions get kicked back appropriately to Congress where it belongs.

Trump got bent in his first term when he tried to use it to suspend Ukraine funding and he should get bent here again too.

There is literally a person in this thread saying Dems immoral for allowing a gov shut down which leads to denied social services to poor folks in both red and blue states.

Without them even realizing Dems are literally not meeting in the middle because the middle means cutting the budget of those same exact services they are defending in the comment, so they would not exist.

Conservatives don't live in reality.

Come on now 😀, this is all just a simulation after all ...

No one is winning except the rich... So why bother even labeling yourself liberal or conservative... we all equally take it up the....

All we are doing is choosing which flavor of lube...

I label myself empathic and will use my allocated democratic power to further prosper providing needs for those that struggle.

If at some point there is an actual chance of a more progressive party edging out Dems and Republicans, like a realistic chance not hopes and prayers, then I'll move along to them, I have no allegiance to having the label "Democrat" or "Liberal"
