Russell Vought believes the executive branch can impound or redirect funding approved by Congress at will based on what goes along with the presidents agenda, this goes beyond unitary executive theory & violates separation of powers because the president can't withhold funds signed into law

Why have so many people fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because corporations and billionaires rigged the system in their favor — and a bought-off political establishment let it happen. It's time to fix the system.

The ad, which ethics experts said could violate federal law, shows Mr. Trump vowing to “expel the warmongers” from the government and fight the “deep state,” even as he wages a war with Iran.

Trump's approval rating just hit an all-time low. Polling for Republicans ahead of the midterms is tanking too. Good news. But do not let the unpopularity of Trump and the GOP result in you becoming complacent. We need to show up this November in numbers so huge that victory cannot be denied.

Trump called into a local television station a few hours after the 9/11 attacks and said he watched the explosion from his Trump Tower window more than four miles away. Yesterday, he said he was pulled from Ground Zero that day by first responders. He’s a blatant, pathological liar.
