I am sure congress could stop them but they wont. Republicans are using raw power to get what they want and not sure anything can stop them except people voting them out. You can slow it down with courts but thats about it.

No, it's not. It's vigilante justice you can't exact. Cruel & unusual punishment is outlawed by the 8th Amendment. ancianita Feb 2025 #37

Removal of all our funds would be cruel and unusual punishment, too /nt dickthegrouch Feb 2025 #45
