The recklessness, no wonder Trump University went broke. They can't manage a damn thing. If they really wanted this to happen and they really wanted to cut this, there's ways they could have gone about it. This is just buffoonish.
That's Minnesota Governor Tim Walz laying the smack down to Donald Trump. after Donald Trump issued a federal spending freeze, basically stopping all federal spending to key government programs, sending our country into chaos yesterday. Civil rights groups had to rush into court, federal court in Washington, D.C., to block Donald Trump's spending freeze temporarily. which a judge granted there will be another hearing next Monday. Let's go back to what Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had to say, and he was not holding back. Here, Governor Tim Walz talks about how Trump threw our country into a crisis while he was out golfing. Play the clip.
Donald Trump's reckless action cut off funding to law enforcement, farmers, school, child care, veterans, and healthcare. While he was out golfing, he threw the country into crisis. This is not bold. It's not leadership. It's stupid, buffoonish, childish of exactly what they did. Childcare providers across the state, law enforcement, our prisons, things that we count on, individuals on Medicare, things that we know matter to people's lives. I want to be very clear about this. Minnesota is a state that pays far more into the federal government than we get back. Those are our dollars that he is stealing unconstitutionally. Congress, as I served, as Attorney General Ellison served, appropriates the dollars. This is so far beyond the pale to try and pull these dollars back. And the real thing about this was he has no idea. I understand this. Donald Trump has no idea the implications on this.
Here, Governor Walz says the following about MAGA Republican Congress member Tom Emmer and the other MAGA Republican Congress members who are ceding their authority as members of Congress as a co-equal branch of government to allow Donald Trump to engage in what's called
unlawful impoundment whereby donald trump seizes the power of the purse from congress which controls the spending and donald trump seizes all of the money for himself watch this and i have asked our members of congress i've spoken with senator klobuchar and smith i've spoken with representatives mccullum and craig left messages for our other members to get on this i have heard nothing other than representative emmer saying he 100 agrees with this and this is what the american public voted for Not a mandate to defund the YMCA, to cut funding to hospitals, to cut funding to law enforcement. Never again will the Minnesota Press ever write a story about law enforcement funding without adding that Tom Emmer cut funding to police in what he supported in this. It's an outrageous power grab. It undermines Minnesotans.
And I want to tell you, we are here to do all we can to protect Minnesotans. But I cannot promise you that we can make up the nearly $2 billion a month of our money that is being held illegally by the Trump administration. Dollars that make a difference in the things that we do.
