"US Supreme Court lets Trump withhold $4 billion in foreign aid​

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court sided again on Friday with Donald Trump, allowing his administration to withhold about $4 billion in foreign aid authorized by Congress for the current fiscal year as the Republican president pursues his "America First" agenda.

The case raises questions involving the degree to which a president has the authority to rescind funds Congress has appropriated for programs that do not align with his policies. The U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse.

The justices for now granted the Justice Department's request to block Washington-based U.S. District Judge Amir Ali's order that had directed the administration to promptly take steps to spend the aid at issue in the dispute. Ali's decision came in a lawsuit by aid groups challenging the administration's action."

Also known as Democrat kickback money.

Remember how Little Marco lobbied Biden to increase the budget for USAID? Now, after getting a whiff of Trump's ass & needing to hold onto his job he changes his ******* tune.

Just another Trump lackey who sold his soul for a position of power. No doubt, another so called Christian god lover.

Trumpy needs to take money out of Democrat's hands in the interest of national security.

Have you noticed? Why is it that lots of the money for aid and humanitarian cause always end up in Democrats' piggy bank

“The Supreme Court on Friday allowed President Donald Trump to freeze $4 billion in foreign aid payments, handing the White House a significant victory in its months-long quest to claw back spending that was approved by Congress last year.”

We do not have a functioning government any longer, no need for Congress or the courts.

The Unites States is now an autocracy, the rule of one, a despot at liberty to ignore the will of the people as expressed through their now irrelevant elected representatives.

The separation of powers is ended, the three branches of the Federal government are no longer co-equal; the executive is the sole and supreme power, unchecked and absolute.

Why don't YOU tell us what this aid is for exactly for more context instead of some wild blanket statement.

just maybe it's to fund some radical left wing cause which......gasp, you would support
