Summary
Donald Trump has ordered a freeze on domestic and foreign federal aid to align funding with his conservative agenda.
A memo from the Office of Management and Budget instructed federal agencies to pause aid related to foreign assistance, DEI initiatives, “woke” causes, and the Green New Deal while preserving Social Security, Medicare, and direct payments.
The freeze, which could affect billions in aid, sparked immediate backlash from Democratic leaders, who called it unconstitutional.
Trump framed the freeze as part of a swift rollback of Biden-era policies.
So, if it is illegal, what’s going to be done about it?
The republicans won’t turn on him, the Democrats don’t have the numbers to impeach, and the SCOTUS rule against him.
There are other options than impeachment. Every time Biden had an EO it was immediately taken to the courts and put on hold until the courts could overrule it. Where are the law suits against trump’s EO’s?

Well, now I have my donation list for the next four years (everyone suing him). Those that accept them anyway.
They’re coming, they’re just not instantaneous. The question is, will the courts offer any real resistance? I am unsure.
