From the Office of government Accountability -
One of the fundamental statutes dealing with the use of
appropriated funds is 31 U.S.C. § 1301(a), also known as the
purpose statute:
“Appropriations shall be applied only to
the objects for which the appropriations
were made except as otherwise
provided by law.”
Simple, concise, and direct, Congress originally enacted this statute
in 1809 and it is one of the cornerstones of congressional control
over the federal purse. Simply stated, the purpose statute says that
public funds may be used only for the purpose or purposes for
which they were appropriated.2 Because the Constitution forbids
payment of money from the Treasury except as provided by an
appropriation,3 and because an appropriation must be derived from
an act of Congress, it is for Congress to determine the purposes for
which an appropriation may be used. The purpose statute prohibits
charging authorized items to the wrong appropriation, and
unauthorized items to any appropriation. Anything less would
render congressional control largely meaningless. An earlier
Treasury Comptroller was of the opinion that the statute did not
make any new law, but merely codified what was already required
under the Appropriations Clause of the Constitution. 4 Lawrence,
First Comp. Dec. 137, 142 (1883).
Administrative applications of the purpose statute can be traced
back almost to the time the statute was enacted. In an 1898
decision captioned “Misapplication of Appropriations,” the
Comptroller of the Treasury talked about the purpose statute in
these terms:
“It is difficult to see how a legislative
prohibition could be expressed in
stronger terms. The law is plain, and
any disbursing officer disregards it at his
peril.

Change is inevitable...
I told ya'll this is all Republican tricknology
They do not believe in government. PERIOD. It does not matter the size and scope. That's why they keep trying to push this shyt as "time off" for Federal workers. It's because they do not believe these people should even HAVE these jobs. Thus, they will continue to minimize their plight and minimize their situation so that the average American (aka dumbasses who think the wealthy love them) don't give a fukk about these people not being able to pay bills or pay rent. Federal workers losing their jobs and homes is irrelevant to them because they DON'T CARE ABOUT THEM.
To them, all this proves is that "Hey....they weren't necessary anyways! See? We don't need that much government!"
Which is why it's funny that law enforcement supports these motherfukkers....they don't give a fukk about the FBI, CIA, or NSA. If Trump has done anything, he's shown that these people have utter contempt for law enforcement because deep down inside, THESE are the people preventing the US from becoming some sick White Supremacist fukking serfdom with guns in every store, owned by Wal-Mart and protected by private military contractors with M16s.

Let's be honest the Republicans in the Senate won't do anything. He can get away with this.
He could try, but I imagine Dems have anticipated and would stymie it in court.
That's an easy one, A LOT of these local govt's/LEO's long for the fictional days, when they could be Wyatt Earp, bust some noggins, deny entry to their "small town" to any "riff raff" (follow "on code"), they want NO OVERSIGHT. DJT wanted that for the Central Park 5, and he wants it for ALL

She already cancelled it, if he bullies through it, he doesn’t get any points for that. He is holding the govt hostage, and he wants to rape and pillage, he is a weak mans idea of a strong man, I don’t even give a fukk if he decides he is going to deliver the speech, it changes nothing, the majority HATES his guts and nothing he can do or say at this point can change it. He is boxed in, he is getting CRUSHED (at least he is self aware enough to know that), he can hold all the rallies he wants, he went too far, and he dies on this hill. Enjoy your remaining days, brehNo loss either way.
