Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.
It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.
Long thread.
Trump and Vought are now breaking both sides of spending law. Theyβre illegally not spending where the law requires them to spend, and theyβre illegally spending where they donβt have the money to spend.
What we have is an appropriations king.
Spending βdealsβ are meaningless under that setup.
This whole interview with @lindseyboylan.bsky.social is amazing, but we need to shout this from the rooftops.
There's this message that abusive men like to send that's something like "yeah, I'm an abuser, but I'm a strong man who can get things done."
And no, he isn't.
