The article highlights a significant failure of political leadership in addressing immediate threats to critical services affecting vulnerable populations, such as those needing HIV treatment. It references a budget freeze initiated by President Trump's acting director, which reached various essential health programs. Although the freeze was later reversed, the initial action is deemed illegal. The article criticizes Democrats for their weak response, emphasizing the seriousness of their actions as a betrayal of their constituents, and warns that the current Congress acts more like a puppet for the executive branch than a check on its power.
Our leaders need to feel our anger and take action today.
The initial funding freeze has been reversed by the White House, but the order itself is illegal and unconstitutional.
It's unconscionable that any Democratic lawmaker is showing any willingness to confirm the president's nominees.
The GOP-led Congress is nothing more than a puppet of the White House, rubber-stamping an authoritarian assault on American democracy.
