> The org noted that the rescission of all of CPB’s federal funding
While many "rescissions" going on these days are unlawful/impeachable, this particular case stands out because Congress did pass something to support it.
Anyway, here's how your legislators voted, though the breakdown is mostly predictable.
So Congress voted to support it yet Trump decided not to distribute the funding Congress allocated. The US Constitution explicitly and clearly gives the "Power of the Purse" to the legislative branch not the executive
In any sane world this alone would lead to impeachment
In any sane world Donald Trump's political career would have ended as soon as the words "grab them by the pussy" became public.
But we don't live in a sane world. We live in a world where having a weird scream or creepy looking smile or being a bit awkward will end your political career but bragging about being able to get away with sexual assault because of your wealth on tape just makes you more endearing.
