We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE.

In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

β€œNo officer or employee of the United States may defer any budget authority for any other purpose.”

I’m a broken record on this, but the pause is completely illegal. It directly violates Section 1013 of the Impoundment Control Act.
