Finally!!! Someone is making serious cuts to the bloated budget.
But not ours, right?
The GQP loves to take out their pocket Constitutions and read them out loud to show how much they love our country. But like the right-wingers on this Board, they can read but they cannot comprehend. The Constitution created 3 co-equal branches of government (the House, the Senate, and the Executive according to legal scholar Tommy Tuberville). And the Constitution gave the power of the purse to the House, which the self-castrated Congress has given back to the Executive.
And the self-proclaimed savior of our nation is withholding money that was authorized by Congress, according to the Constitution.
But, but, not our money cried the GQP! We didn’t mean ours!!!!!
Katie Boyd Britt (R-Alabama) to Katie Boyd lobbied Trump to reconsider its cuts or pauses to federal grants that support biomedical research and labs.
Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) lobbied Trump to reconsider its cuts for programs supporting Native American tribes.
Constitutional scholar (see above) Tommy Tuberville (R-Alabama), said last week that begging for funds may be the new normal, suggesting that lawmakers could lobby Musk to save spending they’ve allocated for.
“If we have to lobby for, ‘hey wait a minute what about the bridge in Birmingham?’ or ‘there’s a bridge in Mobile or whatever.’ I think that could be very possible,” Tuberville told reporters.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said that after talking to Kennedy about the cuts, he told her that “he will lead a reexamination of this initiative.” Ha ha ha. Worm brain RFK Jr. made a funny.
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-West Virginia) said she’s been “aggressively” working the EPA and its secretary, Lee Zeldin, to unfreeze grants for green school buses that are manufactured in her state. “Trimming fat out of government, we all know it needs to be done,” Capito said. But she added that the confusion generated by the freezes has hit some in her community hard. “The uncertainty, I think, is difficult, especially small businesses and school systems, arts councils — all those things,” she said. My heart breaks.
Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kansas) used the social media platform X to ask Secretary of State Marco Rubio to help unfreeze food aid that was stalled in U.S. ports after the administration dismantled the agency in charge of foreign aid. Oops.
“DOGE is really doing good stuff, but ultimately, that money’s going to be sent back to us as a rescission package,” said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky). “If the money’s sitting there, there is a question, is it impounded, or is it going to be sent back as a rescission package? A rescission package … that’s ideally the way it would be done.” When did aliens take over Rand Paul’s body?
I think the best bet for the GQP Senators would be to make a small purchase:

God works in strange and mysterious ways. Sometimes you get an angel and sometimes you make a deal with the devil.
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, ah yeahAnd what’s that old saying? “It's easier for a cyber truck to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
But I know you guys meant well. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
And it's not a cry, that you hear at night
It's not somebody, who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
