Is it accurate to say that the Big Beautiful Bill on average made the poorest people in America even poorer and the richest people in America even richer, when looking at total household resources? One word answer only, please.

Yes

GAO, the agency tasked under the Impoundment Control Act with adjudicating impoundments, says as explicitly as possible the Donald Trump and Russ Vought’s pocket rescission is illegal. “The President may not force the expiration of budget authority Congress has already enacted and did not rescind.”

I think something to consider here is that Collins voted to confirm Russ Vought as OMB Director despite the fact that he said a billion times that he thought Trump had a constitutional right to illegally impound funds, and now she’s doing shocked Pikachu reactions.

Sen. Susan Collins • fAl

@SenatorCollins

Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration. This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress's Constitutional power of the purse.
This move shows that OMB intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation of appropriations that were approved on a bipartisan basis and signed into law.

Not only is the delay itself an impoundment that was not reported to Congress, but also it is a usurpation of Congress's appropriations powers.
OMB is an agency of the executive branch. It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding.
The independent Government Accountability Office has concluded that pocket rescissions are unlawful and not permitted by the Impoundment Control Act. Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.
I will work with my colleagues to address these illegal actions.

I want to draw attention to this as often as I can - not only is this *action* terrible, the intention behind it is to consolidate power and eliminate the three branches of government. The courts are already severely compromised. The power of the purse belongs to Congress.

Should go without saying but I’m saying: this is only useful as pretext for corrupt R election officials to spoil the election and to create additional pretext for Congressional Rs to refuse to seat Ds we elect. It serves no legitimate purpose. www.npr.org/2026/09/25/n...

These tactics can cause great division & real danger to our Iranian and Israeli neighbors. Warring factions seek to divide the citizens (Divide et Impera) & leverage the chaos. Both Israel & Iran have been using these tactics to pit Americans against each other along xenophobic lines. Be alert.

This administration dgaf what judges say. They’ll gladly defy the courts when they think it suits them. For anyone who still hasn’t learned this lesson, it’s getting pretty late to catch on. The election is now, not later, now, and they’re not going to wait for the courts or obey them.

A while back when SCOTUS ordered Trump to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia, Roberts said “courts must show due regard and deference” to him on national security matters. Since then, he’s used it to justify everything from the ballroom to the arch, mass deportation, boat strikes, and now this.
