315 grants were terminated in October, ending support for 223 projects worth approximately $7.5 billion,
Deciding that the government had violated grantees’ rights to equal protection, Mehta only ordered a return to the status quo, reinstating seven grants totaling $27.6 million.
Let’s be clear, that’s $27.6 million out of $7,500 million. 99.6% of the cuts still go through.
Not an american but is the famous american “checks and balances” need to be turned off and on again or smt? It doesn’t seem to be working.
I’m American and I’m not convinced it was ever turned on. Pretty sure it was theorized and marketed well and all of you believed it as much as we did.
Checks and balances is working exactly as the founding fathers envisioned.
…by cashing checks and hoarding balances.
The founders were mostly slave/land owning robber barons. Washington was one of the most wealthiest people in the colonies…
Such a pathetic little spiteful coward of a man.
Amazing. I cant wait to see what the consequences are.
I’ve under taken the arduous trip and located the answer. To save you the trouble, I’ve drawn a map.
OK you like surprises and magic. Right?
Its 6am, I’m a guy and just woke up. I got my own bed and my age is between 20 and 60. What am I holding? The answer may surprise you. Or maybe not.
Pastrami on rye with a little mustard, not the good mustard the occasion doesn’t call for it
Yeah hold the Good pasta!
What the fuck hahahah
Nope!
Wait but how do you know what my guess is??
Keep on keepin’ on, bud 😂
Oh I miss read your reply. No, I was holding my elbow!
Trump’s violated so many laws and under aged women and got no consequences so why would he stop?
Which is a violation of his oath of office, which is ample grounds for impeachment.
Shame that Congress is full of feckless cowards
I dont think theyre cowards per se. I think this is how the “democracy” is intended to work?
Trump looks after oligarchs, oligarchs make donations to campaigns to get senators elected, senators support Trump.
Its not so much that theyre cowards, theyre just serving the people who got them elected, and thats not the voters.
“Hey buddy, get in line.” - the other 10-15 things he’s done that other presidents would have gotten impeached for.
God damn. I love Star Wars, but why is Star Wars almost a documentary these days? Between this, Obi-Wan’s speech about the fall of the temple, and the events of Attack of the Clones…we just don’t have spaceships.
Watching the prequels in the current year made me appreciate just a little bit how… so forward thinking they were. Emperor Palatine didn’t become an emperor overnights, you see, he was made into a Chancellor democratically and then he just… played chess against himself to eventually become Emperor.
Granted the modern breed of fash spreading all over the world aren’t that horrifically smart, but it’s true.
This is how liberty dies!
What’s crazy is Trump has already been impeached! TWICE!
And found guilty of 34 felonies and (in a civil case) raping a woman.
If anything, that might be a low estimate
Trumps violates the constitution daily by his very existence
Cool. What of it then? I get it, but it doesn’t really mean anything if accountability is optional nowadays.
So the grants must be reinstated.
They’ll just appeal it to the supreme court who will rule that actually it’s totally cool
The absolute least we can do is force them to jump through the hoops. Like, I get that it feels pointless but it’s better than just giving up and letting them do whatever they want.
They WANT you to feel like there’s no point so that you’ll give up. They want you to give up because that’s the easiest way for them to win. Why give them the satisfaction? They haven’t actually won yet, but even if I can never win I’ll won’t give up no matter how impossible the victory, and neither should you.
Also it helps build up a solid case if shit goes to civil war, easier to get international aid if the list of things the feds have done is long and itemized. Also helps justify it to the population both within and without such anti trump territory.
So we should give up, dig a hole and stick your heads in? I’m not a giving up sort of person. But if that’s your preference, go for it. smh
I like that, by “must” do you mean still optional?
And when they aren’t?
“Wait, I know the 5th Amendment! That’s an important one! That’s the one that says I don’t have to admit to my crimes! I’m the best in the world at that one!”
You talking about 5th element the movie right?
“It’s my favorite Bible verse!”
Probably the most concise summary of modern Christianity we’re ever going to get.
Incoming Truth Social post…
“This PROVES that Demonrat states are run by crooks, because only criminals use the Fifth Amendment!”
Rick Scott.
Who’s going to do anything about it? He’s the king.
Nah, fuck that defeatist bullshit.
What are you going to do about it? Because right now no one is.
Trump, “What do you mean ‘ammendment’? Where are you getting this? Nobody has heard of these ammendments you’re talking about…”
Ammendment is when u edit a twitter
“Not my president” because he refuses to be.
Supreme Court: Uno Reverse card.
About time a judge dug into his tweets.
