The federal government’s debiting $80.5 million from New York City’s bank account suggests yes
Donald Trump can do anything he wants. He always has, nobody has ever stopped him, and realistically, nobody ever will.
Not to say that one or two people haven’t tried.
Sounds like a good reason to move my money outside the reach of the US government. I’m sure that will help boost our economy and provide certainty.
So, this is a special situation, as it was a scheduled payment under a contract with NYC, relating to a migrant housing program. The payment was made just before everything got DOGEd, and when DOGE found out, it lost its collective shit and forced the payment to be reversed.
However, all you really need to make a debit out of a bank account is a routing number, account number, and proper authorization.
DOGE can apparently manufacture authorization out of thin air. And I bet it has everyone’s routing info and account information from everyone who has ever filed a return with the IRS and used Direct Deposit (or paid by check in the mail).
This. It gives me such anxiety.
They always could, they just never did it because they weren’t a bunch of moronic toddlers.
Not mine. It’s empty! Hahahahahaha 😥
