DrWebLetters from an American – August 13, 2025 -Heather Cox RichardsonAugust 13, 2025, By <a href="https://substack.com/@hrichardson" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Heather Cox Richardson</a>On August 14, 1935, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law. While he had already put in place new measures to regulate business and banking and had provided temporary work relief to combat the Depression, this law permanently changed the nature of the American government.The Social Security Act established a federal system of old-age benefits; unemployment insurance; aid to homeless, dependent, and neglected children; funds to promote maternal and child welfare; and public health services. It was a sweeping reworking of the relationship between the government and its citizens, using the power of taxation to pool funds to provide a basic social safety net.The driving force behind the law was FDR’s secretary of labor, Frances Perkins. She was the first woman to hold a position in the U.S. Cabinet and still holds the record for having the longest tenure in that job: she served from 1933 to 1945.Perkins brought to the position a vision of government very different from that of the Republicans who had run it in the 1920s. While men like President Herbert Hoover had embraced the idea of a “rugged individualism” in which men provided for their families on their own, Perkins recognized that the vision of a hardworking man supporting his wife and children was more myth than reality: her own husband suffered from bipolar disorder, making her the family’s primary support. She understood that Americans had always supported each other.As a child, Perkins spent summers with her grandmother, with whom she was very close, in the small town of Newcastle, Maine, surrounded by a supportive community. In college, at Mount Holyoke, she majored in chemistry and physics, but after a professor required students to tour a factory to observe working conditions, Perkins became committed to improving the lives of those trapped in industrial jobs. After college, Perkins became a social worker and, in 1910, earned a masters degree in economics and sociology from Columbia University. She became the head of the New York office of the National Consumers League, urging consumers to use their buying power to demand better conditions and wages for the workers who made the products they were buying.The next year, in 1911, she witnessed a fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in which 146 workers, mostly women and girls, died. They were trapped in the building when the fire broke out because the factory owner had ordered the doors to the stairwells and exits locked to make sure no one slipped outside for a break. Unable to escape the smoke and fire in the factory, the workers—some of them on fire—leaped from the eighth, ninth, and tenth floors of the building, dying on the pavement.The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire proved to Perkins that voluntary organizations would never be enough to improve workers’ lives. She turned toward using the government to adjust the harsh conditions of industrialization. She began to work with the Democratic politicians at Tammany Hall, who presided over communities in the city that mirrored rural towns and who exercised a form of social welfare for their voters, making sure they had jobs, food, and shelter and that wives and children had a support network if a husband and father died. In that system the voices of women like Perkins were valuable, for their work in the immigrant wards of the city meant that they were the ones who knew what working families needed to survive.The overwhelming unemployment, hunger, and suffering during the Great Depression convinced Perkins that state governments alone could not adjust the conditions of the modern world to create a safe, supportive community for ordinary people. She came to believe that, as she said: “The people are what matter to government, and a government should aim to give all the people under its jurisdiction the best possible life.”Continue/Read Original Article Here: <a href="https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/august-13-2025?publication_id=20533&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=email-share&triggerShare=true&r=1gx2e" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">August 13, 2025 – by Heather Cox Richardson</a> Original article: <a href="https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/august-13-2025" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View source</a><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/america/" target="_blank">#America</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/donald-trump/" target="_blank">#DonaldTrump</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/fdr/" target="_blank">#FDR</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/francis-perkins/" target="_blank">#FrancisPerkins</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/health/" target="_blank">#Health</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/heather-cox-richardson/" target="_blank">#HeatherCoxRichardson</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/history/" target="_blank">#History</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/letters-from-an-american/" target="_blank">#LettersFromAnAmerican</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/libraries/" target="_blank">#Libraries</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/library-of-congress/" target="_blank">#LibraryOfCongress</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/politics/" target="_blank">#Politics</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/resistance/" target="_blank">#Resistance</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/science/" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/secretary-of-labor/" target="_blank">#SecretaryOfLabor</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/substack/" target="_blank">#Substack</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/trump/" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/trump-administration/" target="_blank">#TrumpAdministration</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/united-states/" target="_blank">#UnitedStates</a>

DrWebCivil Discourse – Congress may have the spending power, but Trump can usurp it if they won’t protect it. And they haven’t. – Joyce VanceBy <a href="https://substack.com/@joycevance" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Joyce Vance</a>, Aug 13, 2025This afternoon, a three-judge panel in the D.C. Circuit signed off on the Trump administration’s efforts to block funds for foreign assistance that have been appropriated by Congress. Despite arguments made by the plaintiffs that this violates Congress’ Article II Spending powers, <a href="https://media.cadc.uscourts.gov/opinions/docs/2025/08/25-5097-2129854.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">the court ruled</a> that only the head of the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has the ability to bring Impoundment Control Act (ICA) claims. Impoundment refers to a decision by a president to delay spending or withhold funds that Congress has allocated in the budget. The GAO was not a party to this lawsuit, although it has made <a href="https://www.narfe.org/blog/2025/07/29/gao-finds-trump-administration-violated-impoundment-control-act-by-withholding-head-start-funds/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">multiple</a> <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/05/23/nx-s1-5409080/trump-white-house-impoundment-gao" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">findings</a> <a href="https://www.taxpayer.net/budget-appropriations-tax/recent-gao-decisions-demonstrate-the-limits-of-impoundment/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">that</a> this administration has violated the ICA in other regards.The court’s decision was 2-1, with Judges Karen Henderson and Gregory Katsas in the majority and Judge Florence Pan dissenting. As Judge Pan notes in dissent, they reframed the issues argued by the government in order to rule in its favor, so that they could “excuse the government’s forfeiture of what they perceive to be a key argument, and then rule in the President’s favor on that ground, thus departing from procedural norms that are designed to safeguard the court’s impartiality and independence.” There will likely be a motion to ask the full court to rehear the case en banc, with all active judges sitting, before the losing party takes it to the Supreme Court.<a class="" href="https://i0.wp.com/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/%24s_%215msQ%21%2Cf_auto%2Cq_auto%3Agood%2Cfl_progressive%3Asteep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9da4a29f-3da8-486b-8b31-ad62e5ff4d7b_1638x1588.png?ssl=1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a>The case arose after Trump impounded funds appropriated by Congress for foreign aid in 2024. On January 20, 2025, Trump issued an executive order directing the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development to freeze foreign aid spending. Multiple plaintiffs sued to force the administration to release the funds. After the district court issued a preliminary injunction that prevented the government from refusing to fund the programs Congress had voted for, the administration appealed, and the court of appeals heard the case on an expedited basis.The Constitution gives Congress the authority to raise revenue and decide how money is spent—the power of the purse—in Article I, Section 8, which permits Congress to tax and spend for the general welfare, and in Article I, Section 9, which provides that “No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” The executive branch can’t legally spend public money without Congressional authorization. This means Congress can prevent a president from doing things it doesn’t approve of by refusing to fund them. But this case involves a different situation—what happens when Congress funds a program, but the president refuses to release the funds? The Impoundment Control Act was passed in 1974 to reinforce Congress’s spending authority after President Nixon tried to withhold appropriated funds.Nixon wasn’t the first to try and thwart Congressional spending decisions. Thomas Jefferson <a href="https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/1956/july/jeffersons-plans-mothballing-frigates" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">delayed spending</a> on naval ships out of concern over costs. But Nixon used impoundment aggressively over policy disagreements with the Congress. In the early 1970s, he withheld billions of dollars from environmental programs and housing and education initiatives. Congress viewed Nixon’s broad use of impoundment as an end run around its constitutional powers, arguing that if he could simply refuse to spend, a president could appropriate a line item veto over the budget for himself, in contravention of Congress’ power of the purse. Lawsuits were filed.Continue/Read Original Article Here: <a href="https://joycevance.substack.com/p/congress-may-have-the-spending-power?publication_id=607357&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=email-share&triggerShare=true&r=1gx2e" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Congress may have the spending power, but Trump can usurp it if they won’t protect it.</a> Original article: <a href="https://joycevance.substack.com/p/congress-may-have-the-spending-power" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View source</a><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/america/" target="_blank">#America</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/donald-trump/" target="_blank">#DonaldTrump</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/federal-courts/" target="_blank">#FederalCourts</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/health/" target="_blank">#Health</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/history/" target="_blank">#History</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/libraries/" target="_blank">#Libraries</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/library/" target="_blank">#Library</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/library-of-congress/" target="_blank">#LibraryOfCongress</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/politics/" target="_blank">#Politics</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/resistance/" target="_blank">#Resistance</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/science/" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/substack/" target="_blank">#Substack</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/trump/" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/trump-administration/" target="_blank">#TrumpAdministration</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/u-s-congress/" target="_blank">#USCongress</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://drwebdomain.blog/tag/united-states/" target="_blank">#UnitedStates</a>

Tonight, our veteran national security correspondent, David Sanger, guides us through the stakes of President Trump’s upcoming summit with Vladimir Putin. We’re also looking at how the administration’s science funding cuts will affect research into health care disparities, and how Trump is exerting his influence over culture. We’ll start with the headlines. <ul><li>A federal appeals court ruled that <a class="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/13/us/politics/foreign-aid-trump-appeals-ruling.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">the Trump administration can withhold billions</a> in funding intended for foreign aid groups.</li><li>Europe’s leaders <a class="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/13/world/europe/trump-europe-ukraine-talks-putin.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">say they’ve agreed</a> with Trump on a strategy for his talks with Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president, on Friday.</li><li>The Trump administration <a class="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/13/us/politics/trump-tariffs-case-federal-court.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">urged a federal court</a> to uphold its sweeping global tariffs or risk an economic depression.

Sanger</a> There is nobody with more confidence in President Trump’s deal-making abilities than Trump himself.Yet, as his Friday meeting in Alaska with President Vladimir Putin of Russia draws near, he and his top aides are <a class="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/11/us/politics/trump-putin-alaska-meeting.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">lowering expectations</a>, suggesting it’s not Trump’s job to make peace between Moscow and Ukraine and calling the summit little more than a “<a class="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/us/politics/trump-putin-summit-alaska.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">listening exercise</a>.”Statements like that belie the enormous stakes of the first meeting between Trump and Putin since the Russian invasion, particularly for the parties who aren’t expected to be present, which includes the leadership of Ukraine and of the European nations that have been living with the war on their doorstep. For Trump, though, the motivation is personal — it’s a chance to reset a relationship he has long boasted about but has lately become rocky, while bringing his personal brand of deal-making to the world’s biggest stage.There’s a lot going on here. So I called David Sanger, who has covered the White House and national security for decades and who has written books about superpower conflict, before he boarded a series of flights to Anchorage earlier today.He walked me through the calculus of risk and reward around this meeting — and why Putin can claim a modest win before it even starts.<a class="" href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/710053/new-cold-wars-by-david-e-sanger-with-mary-k-brooks/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">As you’ve written</a>, it used to be normal for an American president to meet with the Russian leader. George W. Bush met with Putin roughly two dozen times. Joe Biden met him only once, in 2021. But Trump’s meeting will be the first for an American president since the Western world isolated Russia following the invasion of Ukraine. What does he stand to gain from it?Trump sees himself as a peacemaker, and this is tied up very much in his oft-expressed desire to win the Nobel Peace Prize, which he usually combines with some kind of comment to suggest that the Nobel Committee would never give it to him.He has taken credit for a cease-fire between India and Pakistan, although the Indians have a different version of that story. He took a direct role in a <a class="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/us/politics/trump-armenia-azerbaijan-peace-deal.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">peace pledge signed between Armenia and Azerbaijan</a>, at the White House, and there have been other regional conflicts in which he’s played an important role. The big ones, though, have evaded him.Those, of course, are the Israel-Hamas war and the Russian war with Ukraine, which he famously declared that he would solve in 24 hours, on the basis of his long and, in his view, respectful relationship with Putin. He has now <a class="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/14/us/politics/trump-putin-ukraine.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">come to question</a> whether that relationship is what he thought it was, or at least what he portrayed it as, because Putin has held a series of perfectly friendly, constructive phone calls with him and then <a class="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/us/politics/trump-putin.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">continued on the same battle plan that he was on before</a>, with considerable recent success.If the president comes out of Alaska without an immediate or imminent cease-fire plan, I think it’s going to be difficult for him to portray this as a win. But a cease-fire alone won’t be enough.Who has the most at stake here?The country with the most at stake, of course, is Ukraine and its president, Volodymyr Zelensky, who wasn’t invited. The second-most at stake is President Trump and the countries that make up the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO. Let me explain.For Ukraine, the risk is that Trump will push for something he’s been referring to as a “land swap.” He doesn’t say that Russia would simply get the land that it has already taken militarily, which would be problematic enough, because it would reward Moscow and Putin for invading a sovereign state.Trump’s use of the phrase “swaps” leaves you with the impression that he might be willing to award the Russians territory that they have not gained militarily, in return for something else.Tell us about the risks for Trump.The big risk for Trump is that whatever comes out of Alaska is just a delaying action. Putin may calculate that what he needs most is a relaxation of sanctions, a reopening of trade and time to rebuild his force so that a few years from now, he can attempt a re-invasion of the rest of Ukraine and use the territory he’s gained as a launchpad to drive toward Kyiv. That’s a huge risk, and the Ukrainians are rightly worried about it.To forestall that, the Europeans and Zelensky are insisting on security guarantees and continued arms shipments to Ukraine, as well as making sure that Trump doesn’t make any concessions about where NATO forces can be deployed in Eastern Europe. All of those issues are as important — and over the long term, perhaps more important — than where you draw the boundaries between Russia and Ukraine.And there’s one more risk for NATO. Will Putin use this meeting to drive a wedge between Trump and the NATO allies?

And despite the fact we were holding a news conference, starting chanting with their bull horns about Trump instead of supporting our message. Yesterday, these "allies" were asked NOT to disrupt, and yet they did. The problem with some allies is that they cannot respect Black leadership. Don't be that kind of "ally."
