The Courts Blocked Trump’s Federal Funding Freeze. Agencies Are Withholding Money Anyway.

www.propublica.org The Courts Blocked Trump’s Federal Funding Freeze. Agencies Are Withholding Money Anyway.

Agencies continue to suspend funding, despite multiple court orders blocking the federal freeze. Experts say the Trump administration’s actions set the stage for challenges to Congress’ authority — and the limits of the presidency.

Finally the media will actually say it. I've been trying to point this out for a week but no one has been talking about it. Ignoring lawful court orders, laws passed by congress, and the constitution. This is not a drill, please think about what it will take to reverse this and what you personally can contribute to this struggle. The consequences will be dire for everyone if this is not stopped.
- I believe you, but it’s too late. We elected a mad man -twice, and have never once followed through with any sorta legal action, punishment, or repercussions for his sly/illegal behavior. What can we do now except hope to vote against his party/interest in 2 years and continue to write letters to congressmen (who don’t read them).
  
  It's never too late.
  
  There are plenty of political actions one can take beyond voting and there is absolutely not time to wait 2 years to address these things. Protest, join orgs fighting this, call your representatives, do anything you can think of.
  It's never too late. Remember, whatever democratic protections we have today were fought and clawed from the rulers of the past by people like us. Worst case scenario we have a repeat of that situation but they never win in the long run. The human spirit and desire for freedom can never be permanently defeated.
  
  Unionize. Unionize while you still can
  
  Good point I should have mentioned that one.
