He's not using some "rare power." He is violating the Constitution and his oath of office.

It's not fucking "rare and contested." It's just blatantly violating the Constitution. Congress has control of the budget, not the president. It's his job to execute on the law, not to pick and choose which laws to follow.
If that were true then the president couldn’t cancel it 🤷♂️
The president does a lot of things that he isn't allowed until the courts tell him to fuck off. Just wastes valuable judge time having to babysit his every move because he doesn't know what he is doing.
You are wrong though. He or his handlers know exactly what they're doing. This has been his strategy his entire life. Break the law, then tie up the ensuing suits in the courts so long that he still effectively gets away with it and/or it costs his opposition too much to continue.
He is proof positive that delayed justice is not justice at all.
If murder is illegal then why are you dead? Boom, checkmate.
I mean, if the authorities don't arrest/charge then functionally yes. This demented old pedo has legit killed hundreds of thousands through inaction during Covid and killed millions globally by letting that dipshit Musk gut USAID. He's a murderer on par with any other fascist but will he see consequences?
Well, yeah, murder or sexual abuse against minors is illegal, yet you see the rich and powerful engage in these things constantly without consequence.
The law is words on paper, enforcement is what makes law reality, otherwise it's just a suggestion.
If you deny someone their life-saving medication you might go to jail for it. If a rich person does denies life-saving medication to someone because it makes them a few dollars more, they get praised for it.
They'll sue, it'll get overturned and the only losers are the taxpayers.
"rare and constested" does this apply in court if I rob a bank? Like is my claim on the money in the vault a "rare and contested" legal defence?
If you bought the judge and the jury, then yes. It’s legal.
Great news for when I finally become a billionaire!
Bet that billion somehow ends up in trumps pocket.
But like I actually bet. someone bet me.
Most of the cuts are focused on services for immigrants, including non-profits that serve refugees and unaccompanied minors accused of being in the country illegally
They're literally doing the Ophan Crushing Machine!
Ah, Susan Collins trying to get her name out there in a better way. Too late, Susan!
What a chickenshit sane-washing headline. Shame on you, Guardian.
They really should start clarifying, the people manipulating and controlling Trump did this, Trump is not smart enough to fight his was out of a paper bag
Correct your speech, citizen: Trump is not smart enough to America his way out of an American America.
I desperately hope that a deathly illness happens to Trump. I'm so fucking tired of him.
I vote for Ebola, Marburg, or rabies. Those are some terrible ways to go.
I've been hoping for a lightning strike on the golf course.
Make damn sure those evangelical Christian supporters see exactly what their God's opinion of Trump was...
And what will he do with the billion dollars?
Ne wants so bad to be a king that the hasn't even considered the possibility of ending up with his head chopped off.
As an 80 year old dotard with delusions of dementia, does he even know what he is doing anymore?
Good thing they have the second amendment to deal with this exact situation, amirite? I mean what's what they've been selling it to the population for the last 200 years. Surprise, surprise, when push comes to shove the majority of yanks are cowardly.
