I think we are looking at a policy choice caused economic disruption on a scale similar to the Covid shutdowns.
I’m in Texas.
I have managed university grants, contracts, and other agreements for 30 years. This pause will be on a range from highly disruptive to crippling. This will affect university partnerships with private companies and international collaborations. Send me a pm if you want to discuss.
I live in the northeast and really would miss heat in my home

Trump is following the same steps…
Meals on Wheels is also a federally funded program I assume at risk.

Housing assistance: pausing so close to the start of the month is incredibly cruel.
I see how hard kids work to achieve their college dreams. I also understand their struggles.
All of this is incredibly unfair.
My spouse is in a clinical trial - stage 4 neuroendocrine cancer - the trial meds have stabilized the cancer - year 2.
State money, which gets money from Fed grants, is going to dry up.
Planning/Planners are going to lose also when this drys up.
On the flip side, a MAGA groupie I know is about to wake up and find her job gone and I'm pretty happy in that case the target has hit right where it should.
….but Elon will soon be able to write off his 9th mega yacht so all good, right?
Er, and stand in a long line to get impregnated by him, or his sperm bank , right?
This can go in one of two ways.
We end up in a long term, full fledged fascist hell or we resist.
It's entirely up to us.
In a few cases like that I have zero sympathy their shot at me as a liberal minority was a giant self own.
My fear is for WIC/School Lunch users. The actual helpless children about to starve.
The number of cars lined up for our food pantry is alarming on a good day. We have run out of food, even though we try not to.
Funding for IPV programs.
Very easy to believe they and by they I mean musk can essentially pause or stop payments from the treasury.
So the richest person in the world can say "do what I want or!"
It’s a website which lets you search data on federal spending. You can search by award type (like grant) and date, agency, state, city, congressional district. Here’s a list of grants in LA-4, Speaker Mike Johnson’s district.
Also work in the area of gender, sexuality, and violence
If funding is cut service will be canceled and the people we serve will die spiritually if not literally. Covid was very hard on them, this will be worse

This would impact folks in mental health treatment programs, as well as associates and therapists working there.
What is this monster doing?
We have to make noise.
Call our local, state, and federal representatives, loudly & often.
I am completely unsurprised.
Pres Musk said that people would experience some pain for a while, or something similar. He said it during the election and the buffons still supported them.
For an RFK Jnr to be put in charge of pop health decisions at a time when vaccination needs to be ramped up is insane

I’m sure they’ll accommodate my tuition in this case, but in my state my landlord and utility companies can shut off my heat and have me back on the street with 30 days notice
