    While Congress has the Cons utional "Power of the Purse" to allocate funds, the Executive Branch shares the "Purse" responsibilities and has discretion on the spending of those funds. The President has the Cons utional responsibility to ensure the spending of those funds is done without fraud, waste, and abuse. For example, I'm confident, and correct me if I'm mistaken, there was no line in the budget to specifically fund "Iraqi Sesame Street." The question will be, is the current administration obligated to expend funds contracted by the previous administration if it is determined to be the product of "fraud, waste, and abuse." The Executive Branch has a fiduciary responsibility to ensure the citizens' taxpayer dollars are spent as intended. Presidents cancel contracts all the time. Remember Biden and the "Keystone Pipeline?"




    This is correct. Congress appropriates a specified sum for USAID to use for foreign aid, but leaves it to USAID to solicit grant applications and decide which grant applications to fund.
    The Trump Admin hit the "pause" button to consider whether continuing to spend money on the approved grants over the remaining 6 months of this fiscal year was consistent with the new foreign policy goals rather than waste money on Biden Admin goals that are going to be abandoned.
    The answer to your copy pasted question is yes, the current administration is obligated to expend funds contracted by the previous administration because that's how contracts work.

    If there's a question of fraud, waste or abuse, let a court decide

    The court did decide. Only work completed between January 20th and February 13th must be paid for. All contracts/grants after February 13th from previous administration cancelled.

    And that is as of now, expect this ruling to be appealed to SCOTUS by Trump admin.

    Trump freezes $1 billion in food aid given to local schools and food banks to help low-income families

    The Department of Agriculture has slashed over $1 billion in funding aimed at helping schools and food banks purchase from local farmers, according to a nonprofit.

    “Multiple states” were recently notified of these cuts, the nonprofit School Nutrition Association said in a statement Tuesday.

    An estimated $660 million in funds through the Local Food for Schools program for 2025 will no longer be available to support childcare ins utions and schools, the group added.

    “This program will strengthen the food system for schools and childcare ins utions by helping to build a fair, compe ive, and resilient local food chain, and expand local and regional markets with an emphasis on purchasing from historically underserved producers and processors,” the USDA website says about the Local Food for Schools program.

    El0n's fashionable vice-signaling -- empathy is the enemy -- has already been taken to heart by Trumplandia

    it's practically doxology that poors, minorities and women must suffer

    the proof is that the suffering of large numbers of other people will also be tolerated, so long as certain people get visibly hurt

    ""Starting on Day 1, we will end inflation and make America affordable again," he said at a rally in Montana, where he told supporters: "This election is about saving our economy."....


    When I win, I will immediately bring prices down," Trump said at the time....









    "....During an interview on Fox News "Sunday Morning Futures," Trump was asked if he is expecting a recession this year after the Atlanta Federal Reserve projected negative GDP growth for the first quarter of 2025.

    "I hate to predict things like that," Trump responded. "There is a period of transition, because what we're doing is very big. We're bringing wealth back to America. That's a big thing, and there are always periods of, it takes a little time. It takes a little time, but I think it should be great for us.".....

    The Trump administration is slashing the size of the Justice Department's unit that oversees prosecutions of public officials accused of corruption, three sources who spoke on condition of anonymity told NBC News.

    Only a small fraction of the section’s employees — roughly a half-dozen — will remain in an office that, until recently, oversaw all federal public corruption cases nationwide and housed dozens of employees, two sources said.

    Prosecutors in the Washington-based unit, the Public Integrity Section, are being told to take details to other positions within the department.

    The Public Integrity Section will now be a non-litigation section and no longer directly handle investigations and prosecutions, two sources said. Its current cases will be reassigned to U.S. attorney’s offices around the country.
