This may be Trump’s worst (and most dangerous) power grab yet.
When will Congress step up and reassert its power?

If Trump doesn't reverse course, millions could lose healthcare, food assistance, childcare, and even emergency services.

Someone just asked me, “Is Donald Trump so simpleminded that he thinks there is a water main to turn all of California’s water back on?”
And we both laughed, realizing that the imbecile probably does think that.
