If Trump just takes money appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose & seizes it to use it for an entirely different purpose, what is the point of having a Congress or appropriating money for anything? I’m sure the Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins must be concerned.

Our movement is growing, and now is our time! MHVDSA members voted overwhelmingly to support an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez run for president. As we face a crisis on every front, home and abroad, we cannot cede ground to a politics of yesterday. Join DSA today and join the fight!

WHOA. Lewandowski is accused of demanding fees from a private prison company to steer them ICE contracts, at a time when he was widely known to be running DHS on Kristi Noem's behalf, then punishing them when they didn't pay up. Congress should conduct a full and bipartisan investigation into this.
