The creation of USAID was an act of Congress, so only Congress can end it. The South African sociopath and the lunatic president are committing an illegal act, while our reps and senators sit around wringing their hands. Just unbelievable!

We need another lawsuit, but who has standing? The world's poor? A raft of shuttered NGO's? Short of a lawsuit the rats Mr. Trump let into the federal government can destroy anything and everything that doesn't suit the biggest rat's conspiracy-theory addled brain, all in service to his ultimate goal of giant tax cuts for billionaires. Here come the pitchforks!

Literally speaking, a massive uprising may be the only thing that stops this. But Democrats in Congress need to get judges involved in this somehow. This is madness. Our representatives and senators, the Democratic ones anyway, seem to be completely unprepared for what this man has been threatening for years. As for the Republicans, they are frightened of their constituents and of this president so they are not going to do anything. They are completely pathetic.

I’m completely with you. I think we need huge, huge protests. While others wring their hands we need to get loud. https://fpkoshka.substack.com/p/its-a-coup-not-a-coup?r=3noej8

Thank you for the link; I will read this. To a large extent, I am still in disbelief as to what’s happening. It’s so beyond the pale of anything I’ve experienced in my lifetime. And I used to think that George W and Dick Cheney were out of control. But what we’re going through now is the stuff of nightmares.
