Budget UPDATE: President Trump just invoked the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 while signing the COVID bill, allowing him to redline areas that must be addressed. This sends it back to Congress forcing them to 1) repeal 230, 2) cut out the wasteful spending, 3) add $2k. - Conspiracies

This is a virtually unknown law and has taken Congress by surprise.

It also signals his intent to invoke other laws in the coming weeks.

PER FOX: The Senate will start the process that increases checks to $2k, repeals Section 230, starts an investigation into voter fraud, per President Trump's redlines under the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (which Nixon signed). RINOs & Ds are furious.

The President is redlining the bill and providing line-by-line instructions to congress on the provisions within the bill that need to be modified and removed.

I read on the now disinfo ruined /pol that demfags can block this. Is this true, or just more rats shill lies of the kind that now plague 4chan?

They can't block this. They could wait out the 45 days, and if congress is the same they could just get the funding then. That said, a lot can happen in 45 days and they had enough votes to override a veto. This is likely the best option for now.
