Trump regime

 CNN- Twenty-four states and Washington, DC, filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration yesterday for cutting AmeriCorps’ workforce and terminating nearly $400 million in grant funding for state and community projects. According to the lawsuit, 85% of AmeriCorps' staff were placed on administrative leave earlier this month as part of the Department of Government Efficiency’s cost-cutting efforts. The multi-state coalition claims such cuts are gutting the agency to the point where it cannot function. “The Administration is free to ask Congress to abolish AmeriCorps, but it cannot simply terminate the agency’s functions by fiat or defund the agency in defiance of administrative procedures, Congressional appropriations, and the Constitutional separation of powers,” the states claimed in the lawsuit.
