Permanently cutting funding that Congress has allocated is illegal under the Impoundment Control Act—whether it's during a government shutdown or not.
Trump: "We'll be making cuts that will be permanent. And we're only going to cut Democrat programs. I hate to tell you."

Trump's corrupt DOJ secured an indictment of New York AG Letitia James on hyped-up bank fraud charges after removing a prosecutor who refused to go along with their scheme.

Instead of targeting political enemies with bogus charges, Trump should focus on the countless criminals in his own party.

How is the government spending taxpayers dollars?

OMB is using footnotes to hide how and whether things are actually being funded.

But taxpayers deserve full transparency. So we're suing.
OMB’s latest effort to conceal spending data - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington
OMB should not be doling out funds behind closed doors and must make public the contents of legally binding spend plans that apportion fund. Full transparency is critical for effective oversight.

Today, Vice President of the U.S. is flying on Air Force 2 to Indiana to beg state Republicans to gerrymander their state because they know they can’t hold the US House on the existing maps. They need to cheat.

Think about that. What an unprecedented admission of political weakness and desperation.

The Supreme Court has once again declined to stop Trump from bending the rule of law to its breaking point. Congress created independent agencies like the FTC to insulate them from political influence—including the firing of commissioners who don’t do as the president demands.
