USAID may be the biggest scandal in American History.

Just part of the larger censorship campaign.

Sam about to get the spotlight

I like the animated, commie fist pumps throughout the video, though.

 

[NCFisher]

True, but there is attempt to change the executive branch. The guys who have claimed their love of the Constitution can chime in at any time

I'll bite; what attempt is being made to change the executive branch?

 

[CobbVol]

Yeah, Jesse has it figured out!

Democracy dies in darkness.

Did you miss the news this week of the EOs eliminating presidential term limits, abolishing the vote, and terminating the legislative and judicial branches?

Democracy dies in darkness.

It’s always shoot the messenger

Watch the ones who fight against this action.

Well yeah, but I thought maybe there was something else broken. Maximus Trump will reconstitute the constitutional omelet, and give it back.

Usaid? The us military was used for protection of the fields. Cut their funding

We’ve been doing that for decades now. Unlike USAID, we actually need a military

Yeah, Jesse has it figured out!

He's real smart you know.

Pretending judicial review doesn't exist effectively renders the judicial branch useless

A CBS activist (not a journalist) asking a Sen questions & then telling him he's wrong.
This is why America is not watching or getting their news from anymore. They're dead.
And then she proceeds to talk over him after some follow up questions asked. So lame.

The Republican Party should refuse any future interviews with Margaret. See how quickly CBS News becomes even more irrelevant when they can only get democratic coverage.

The ruling was far from judicial review.

Yeah, this seems dangerous.

On the other hand, allowing a judge to issue such a nebulous and broad order that says “no political appointee” can access the Department’s records, as has been reported, seems to be an unconstitutional overreach of the judicial branch’s judicial review power by interfering with the executive authority to oversee executive agencies.

The head of this agency is a political appointee. How does he do his job if he can’t see this own agencies records?

That is not what it says. The Treasury Secretary is the "defendant" anyway, and defendant's access isn't restricted anywhere

the defendants are (i) restrained from granting access to any Treasury Department payment record, payment systems, or any other data systems maintained by the Treasury Department containing personally identifiable information and/or confidential financial information of payees, other than to civil servants with a need for access to perform their job duties within the Bureau of Fiscal Services who have passed all background checks and security clearances and taken all information security training called for in federal statutes and Treasury Department regulations; (ii) restrained from granting access to all political appointees, special government employees, and government employees detailed from an agency outside the Treasury Department, to any Treasury Department payment record, payment systems, or anyother data systems maintained by the Treasury Department containing personally identifiable information and/or confidential financial information of payees; and

Thanks; I hope you are right. In any event, it does appear to be a poorly drafted order; he is a political appointee, and political appointees are restrained from access.

I agree with you that is probably not the intent, but the order is drafted poorly.

From your posted language from the order:

“… and Treasury Department regulations; (ii) restrained from granting access to all political appointees, special government employees, and government employees detailed from an agency outside the…”
