Wednesday, January 29, 2025 - The illegal freeze & the voices on the left throwing flames at it
from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts
The White House federal funding "freeze" mandate on Monday through a lot of the nation for a loop - just another chaotic day in a Trump presidency - before a federal judge put the brakes on it. I 'm trying to figure out why Republicans in Congress are just rolling over and ceding the legislative branch's equal power to this particular President. They're just ... letting him do as he wishes, even at the expense of Congressional authority. Locally, Atlanta mayor Andre Dickens decried the shortsightedness, as did the Georgia Budget & Policy Institute. Beyond Georgia, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz called the freeze "stupid, buffoonish, childish" and Illinois governor JB Pritzker lambaste it as 'illegal.' Are they two of the voices Democratic primary voters may hear more from in the 2028 primary season? Aaron Blake's WaPo piece lists a "top twelve" field of potential candidates, and one of those two didn't even make the list.
