Chris Hayes: Trump and Musk pluck $80M in funding authorized by Congress from NYC’s bank account

The federal government took funds from the city's bank account and called it a “clawback” of taxpayer money. A lot of other people would cal

There are so many Republican lies about immigration with most coming from Musk and Trump himself. Trump says undocumented migrants are being housed in NYC luxury hotels. Musk says NYC is paying double the going rate to house them there. Both are lies.

Federal funds were legally dispersed by Congress for emergency migrant housing, under a strict set of guidelines. The hotel is a closed dilapidated building that is undergoing refurbishment. NYC is spending twelve dollars and fifty cents per person to house these people in the dead of winter so they won’t be on the streets straining already taxed social services. $12.50 to keep someone alive in a frigid New York winter.

Trump/Musk/DOGE illegally used a government computer system to pull back the money already deposited in a city bank account. Not only was it illegal but they didn’t inform anyone in NYC they were doing it. City auditors and accountants went to work the next morning to find $80 million mysteriously missing and to also find the city liable for tens of thousands in overdraft fees. Once they traced it back to the federal government they contacted their bank who politely waived the overdraft fees when Trump’s illegal action was explained.

Once Congress authorizes money for something it is against the law to use it for other purposes or to withhold it from its intended purpose. NYC will have to join everyone else in federal court to get it back.

The richest man in the world and his orange billionaire puppet won’t spend $12.50 to keep a human being from freezing to death.

Trump: Nobody has been to more courthouses than me!

MAGA: *cheers* Yeah, you're amazing!

The rest of humanity:

We can impeach Trump if we win back the house and senate. Start talking about voting.

Register in advanced.

If you know someone who doesn’t vote, start showing them exactly what Trump has done, show them how American Citizens are being deported.

Show them how people who came to America on vacation are being deported.

Show them how Trump has been destroying the stock market.

Show them everything you can and remind them that they may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in them and doesn’t give a damn about consent when it comes to fucking people over.

If you are married and took your spouse’s name, go to the court you got your certificate from and get every last drop of paperwork you can to prove your identity. This also goes for if you are trans, I’m sorry but it’s unfortunately necessary.

You need as much information as possible. It may be exhausting but it’s needed. Get your passport, get your license, get your SSN card. Get as much as possible to prove who you are.

Be prepared.

Make this shit so big Hiroshima will look like a bee sting.

Let’s destroy the Republican Party’s fascist movement before it destroys us.

The rotten MAGA government gave no evidence.

Now you know why Republicans want to get rid of due process.

Keep this in mind whenever you’re feeling overwhelmed by maga press and start to wonder if your vote means anything. Bet your ass (and Democracy) it does!
