House GOP Wants To Gut Legislative Agency That Advocates For Their Own Constitutional Authority

A model appeared during Trump II that we have noted several times in recent months, and he continues to have new ways. Observing the objective of the executive management to run Roughshod on the separation of powers, Trump’s allies in the congress did everything possible to help this mission – and, in doing so, have sold their own authority to the executive.

The model first revealed a few months ago, while only one or two Republicans in the Congress were ready to criticize publicly, or even express concerns about the Elon Musk government department by the federal government. Doge’s work was, of course, one of Trump II’s many attacks on checks and counterweights described in the Constitution, which leaves the congress to define expenses. Musk and his Doge Bros have spent months to suspend and cancel the funding of the federal government, and little in addition to sense. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Rand Paul (R-KY) were ready to mention that there could be something behind in the whole situation.

When the White House tried to give the Doge Riot a puff of validity by sending $ 9.4 billion in these cuts to the congress so that it approves in the form of a craft, the republicans of the room were eager to buffer musc work. The Senate has not yet adopted the bill – the Republican Directorate there is very busy at the moment, determining how to deprive millions of health care covers in order to make Trump tax reductions for the rich permanent without risking losing their majority at the Congress.

This brings us to the Government Accountability Office, an independent agency integrated into the legislative power which investigates how the funding authorized by the congress is spent and really glance For means to save money by eliminating waste and fraud (the alleged objective of Doge). In recent months, he has tried to ring the alarm on the violations of the law on control of the pound of Doge. He has rendered decisions on at least two Doges Cups so far that it judges in violation of the law of the Nixon era.

Now, the Republicans of the Chamber want to empty the agency.

The GAO chief published a letter on Wednesday to warn the collectors that the provisions described in the new expenditure proposal from the GOP in the Chamber for the Funder 2026 could lead to Punchbowl of more than half of his 3,500 employees by losing their jobs. As part of their proposal to finance the government once the CR is exhausted in September, the Républicains de la Chamber essentially seek reprisals against the agency itself that their government branch uses to defend their expenses.

More punchbowl:

The House Republicans call for a reduction of $ 396 million to the Gao budget, or around 49%, as part of the draft law on the financing of legislative branches for the 2010 financial year, which should be marked by the Credit Committee of the Full House Chamber today.

This would only leave “skeletal endowment” while costing federal taxpayers potentially tens or hundreds of billions of dollars of savings lost for waste, fraud and abuse, which Gao tells very well, by Dodaro gene, the general controller. Democrats are categorically opposed to GOP financing levels, just like the Senate.

Ken Chesebro has struck New York on the design of the 2020 “ `voters ” scheme ”

He may have lost his law license but, in a sense, Ken Chesebro won.

Chesebro was the architect of the false conspiracy of voters, the program that saw the Trump campaign convene voters in 2020 to claim to have won the elections they had in fact lost. They then submitted the false electoral certificates to the congress; The idea was that republican members pretending to be confused on real certificates, creating enough chaos for Trump to win.

This part of the plan failed. But the point here was not only to give Trump a bridge to be re -attached in January 2021. It was also a question of delegitimizing the results of the elections, launching his defeat in doubt and building another type of bridge: one to 2024.

For Chesebro, it is a bitter pill to swallow. He pleaded guilty to a chief of conspiracy to make a false documents in Georgia in 2023. This led to his radiation Thursday from New York State. The Court of Appeal which has noticed it noted that the work of Chesebro in 2020 “undermines the very notion of our constitutional democracy” and that it maintains a “cavalier attitude” towards its actions. It is not difficult to understand why.

The republican tug against the Senate parliamentarian

After the decisions of the Parliamentary Senate Elizabeth Macdonough rejecting the Medicaids Cups of the Republicans – finding them not in accordance with the rule of Byrd – became public, some extreme republicans have disturbed in indignation, demanding that leadership shoot or the touch.

Several other Republicans in the Senate stressed that this would not help the situation.

“This would ruin the entire reconciliation process and we have to maintain the process of motion reconciliation,” Senator Chuck Grassley (R -A) told journalists by heading in the Senate on Thursday.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea … I don’t see how it helps us,” said senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) when he was asked about the remarks.

In a hurry if he worries that Trump asks them to do it, he added: “I am not afraid he cannot, but I hope he does not.”

The head of the majority of the Senate, John Thune (R-SD), also clearly indicated that the leaders of the GOP of the Senate will not observe the decisions of the parliamentarian.

“No, it wouldn’t be a good option to make an invoice,” said Thune on Thursday.
