Congress passed a law ordering the State Department to spend $9.4 billion on global health and more than $5 billion on humanitarian aid, covering HIV treatment, tuberculosis, malaria, and nutrition for starving children.

This was no suggestion, it was the law of the land. The President signed it.

Now ProPublica reports the administration is simply refusing to follow it.

By the end of March, of more than $9 billion Congress directed for global health, the administration had obligated just $190 million, which is 5% of the normal pace. 

Russ Vought, the dangerous, unaccountable extremist who runs the Office of Management and Budget, is labeling money “unallocated” so they can sit on it until the clock runs out and the funds expire. Letters from Congress go unanswered, required reports go unfiled, clinics close, and people die, including children.

The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse for a reason, and when a President takes money we lawfully appropriated and decides on his own which laws to obey, that is not policy, that is a President placing himself above the law.

I sit on the Appropriations Committee, where our job is to decide how this government spends its money on behalf of the people who sent us here.

I will not stand by while this administration treats our votes as optional and human lives as expendable.

We are going to demand answers, and we are going to demand every dollar be spent as the law requires.https://t.co/lcW9wTruMU

PabloReports: Does Donald Trump get to keep this Qatari jet after the presidency?

Raskin: No, he does not. You know why? Because the Constitution says he can’t do it.

Because the Constitution says that the president may not receive a present, an emolument—which means a payment, an office or title of any kind—from a king, a prince, or a foreign state without the consent of Congress.

And Congress has not consented to him keeping a $400 million jet. So it’s got to be turned over immediately to Congress for disposition.

We can either send it back to the people in Qatar, or we can keep it and do something different with it. But it doesn’t belong to the president.

You know, Abraham Lincoln, in the middle of the Civil War, wanted to keep some elephant tusks he’d gotten from the King of Siam. He never kept a present before. He wrote a letter to Congress. He said, “Can I keep this?” And Congress said, you know, you’re doing a great job, Honest Abe, and we love you, but no, you can’t keep it. Turn it over to the Department of State. That’s the right way to do it.

Every other president has come to Congress to ask whether they can keep one of these foreign gifts from a government, king, or prince. President Trump should be no different. He’s got to come to us too. And if not, we’ll just have to requisition it and confiscate it.

They never found a single Haitian immigrant eating cats and dogs.
They never identified the two pilots who were supposedly shot down and rescued.
They never produced the evidence that the 2020 election was stolen.
And they’re never going to find the Reflecting Pool slasher.

MAGA is a bunch of fucking idiots who will literally believe anything.

8 Arrests after a Secret Underground Bunker in Alabama was Discovered where Children As Young As 3 were Drugged, Restrained & Filmed For Over 2 Years! At least 10 Children from 3-15 were Victimized over a period of more than 2 Years! These People are Monsters!

Just want to remind everyone that Elon Musk canceled $400 million in food aid for Gaza and Darfur, and to remind everyone when he held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and thousands of people have already died as a result.

That's who you're defending. History's first trillionaire.

By the way, this tweet is yet another one of my tweets about Elon that X deleted. So much for freedom of speech, Elon!

[Scott Johnson @johnson_scottb]

Sen. Tuberville promised voters he would donate “every dime” he made in Washington, D.C., to Alabama veterans — and even present checks on a monthly basis. Six years later, tax records and his own nonprofit show no evidence that ever happened.

Sen. Tillis on Bill Pulte’s mass firings: “My guess is, based on his past experience, it's just going to be another hot-steamy pile of DOGE shit.”

“I think he's an incompetent sycophant and not the right person to lead DNI, and you're undermining” the next DNI

Jesus Christ. All roads lead to Epstein. Release the 1700 photographs the FBI seized from his mansion and young girls tapes.

[Scott Dworkin @funder]

776,134.

That is the exact number of children who have been stripped of their food assistance under the new Republican SNAP restrictions.

Make this number the only thing Republicans see today. Make it viral. #RepublicansStarveChildren

If you touch water you are apprehended by police.

If you molest kids with Jeffrey Epstein you are moved to a luxury prison and considered for a pardon.

TRUMP’S AMERICA.

[Rep. LaMonica McIver @RepLaMonica]

Tomorrow, I will be in court for the case that could put me in prison for 17 years. I am fighting these charges because I dared to show up to an ICE detention center and demand answers for New Jerseyans. I was doing my job, conducting oversight. This administration thinks they should be allowed to abuse people behind closed doors. I am facing criminal charges because I won’t let them.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Tillis: I’ve asked the police officers here: Do they feel like it was OK to give pardons to people who beat them and to prosecute people who, let’s assume for the sake of argument the facts are true, cut a pool lining and get 10 years?

You beat a cop, you get out free and potentially become eligible for restitution.

That seems unequal to me.

[Walter Masterson @waltermasterson]

Just a reminder that Trump hasn’t released 6 million pages of the Epstein files.

A large majority of Americans are still waiting for the killers of Renee Good and Alex Pretti to be charged and brought to justice.

[Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸 @JudiciaryDems]

Donald Trump mishandled classified documents after he left office.

He took classified intelligence to Mar-a-Lago and stored it in a bathroom.

The full Special Counsel report on it is still hidden from the public and Congress.

Jack Smith’s report should be released fully.
