    It requires an act of Congress to dismantle it completely, so we’re about to see just how much the R’s in Congress either have bought into Trump’s vision or think there is value in keeping his support. It’s one thing to not say anything when a bunch of normal people are fired. It’s a different thing to publicly vote to dismantle something normal need and care about.

      Yes, and that was HR 899, proposed in the House on Jan 31. More then a month ago.

      Did y’all miss that?

      I mean he can just fire all employees and withhold all money. I know it’s unconstitutional, yes, but that doesn’t mean anything anymore.
