“A Huge Grab of Power”: Trump Is Defying Congress on Foreign Aid

Fascist GOP assholes at work-- 

Key Points:

• A Constitutional Crisis: Congress gave orders to Trump officials on foreign aid spending, but officials have largely refused to follow many of them, likely in violation of the law, experts say.
• Delayed Spending: Officials have made little effort to spend aid money that Congress earmarked for specific purposes like nutrition and have reduced funding for HIV and other diseases.
• Blocked Funds: Russell Vought’s Office of Management and Budget has labeled some aid money “unallocated” to control how it can be spent.
