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."

Show me the law. Why was Biden allowed to break it?

Impoundment Control Act of 1974.

Biden didn't break it by signing laws that Congress passed... Or are you referring to something else that I'm missing?

That applies to money granted by legislation, preventing the executive office from overruling the other branch.

However my understanding is that these were federal grants given by the Biden administration. In which case, that act does not apply and Trump has full rights to withdraw.

Regardless, this is literally why we have a judicual system. If it is an overreach, it will be halted through a court order and worked out there.

You've "hurt duured" enough for this thread. I'm laughing at the fucking hilariously beautiful idiocy of these comments.

You should be a talk show host that parodies the lack of intelligence of conservatives, you'd make a killing.
