The US Supreme Court on Friday ruled 6-3 that President Trump can withhold $4 billion in foreign aid approved by Congress.
The three liberal justices, Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson, dissented.
Earlier this month, US District Judge Amir Ali, a Biden appointee, blocked President Trump from cutting billions of dollars in USAID and foreign aid that Congress authorized.

To keep this in perspective;
4 billion is 0.0588235294% of $6,800,000,000,00, the amount our government spent in 2024, analogous to the first step in a 1000-mile journey.

One never knows what the future will bring, war or prosperity, despair or jubilation, but knowing that Godly men lead our nation gives me hope.
from the article: “Judge Ali previously said Trump’s order halting foreign funding caused enormous harm.”
Well, from their perspective, they’re not wrong. It probably is doing enormous harm to a lot of lefty causes all around the world. 🤔
Well, Son of a Bitch!
This is going to hit Democrat and Republican establishment politicians right in the pocket book. Damn few of them that weren’t counting on raking in million$ off this alone.
The rest of the Courtiers hold that voat as meaning-full as MY voat. The Congressional “overseers” agree. And the MAGAts squeeal “OoooOOOooo!”
(Some of you are old enough to ge an ear worm. That’s just sad.)
