Donald Trump and Elon Musk have frozen funding for federal programs that provide support and sustenance to dozens of millions of older adults and people with disabilities, including Meals on Wheels.

They know ppl in communities around the country will fundraise and find ways to feed most ppl. They want the tax cuts and their money, and everyone else can figure out how to survive, or not. Dying sooner is even better for billionaire’s bottom line.
Wow wonder what my MAGA aunt will think when my grandma stops getting her free food and free hc provided for free via federal dollars. She thinks it’s state money too. And she was a VA nurse who depends on social security. It’ll be interesting to see who she blames.
I hope anyone who has elderly or ill neighbours can take time to make sure they are doing ok. This is going to be horrible for them & they may have nobody to help. I guess this is how trump, musk, the oligarch minions & the silent republican majority plan to save money - let the elderly and ill die
“Could affect 2,500 community-based organizations across the country. Barkoff expects programs to be stripped down to only what is required by laws such as the Older Americans Act and the Developmental Disabilities Act."
So freaking evil. Meals on wheels is a Godsend for the elderly and disabled. Often it’s their only meal of the day. They also get to chat with the drivers, see a friendly face. The program even delivers food for pets because they found out otherwise people split meals with them
I deliver Meals on Wheels once a week. If I can volunteer my time they can fork over some money. I deliver to some of the sweetest people. All kind and very grateful. I hope our county can continue making meals. The senior center is also packed every day. It is a very needed resource in my area.
I’m assuming there will be no loss in services because the slack will be picked up by the Christian-based churches and religious orgs, funded by their attendees/followers - because it’s the Christian thing to take care of the elderly and less fortunate, right? … right?!?? …
“The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in shadows of life, the sick, the needy, and the handicapped.”
Hubert H. Humphrey.
It is so cruel and heartless to cut programs for the poor and elderly.
Trump and Musk
don’t care if they go hungry and do without the basic needs for a decent life.
This means my job is about to be taken away because my multi-disabled client uses the federal program to get some support. If it impacts my client, then my job will be done.
Mass-murdering a million Americans with COVID-19 was only a warm-up for Felon47. Now, he wants to mass-murder are parents and grandparents with starvation and dearth.
This is why DumpsterFireDonnie and WeaselScent are dismantling Social Security and Medicare.
I can’t tell you how grateful I was for Meals on Wheels when my mother in law needed them. They not only provided meals to her, a friendly face but also a welfare check. If she didn’t answer her door, they’d call me. Please donate to your Meals on Wheels. The GOP is defunding a wonderful program
We have a collective pact that our country does not starve our elderly and children. The programs we collectively support with our tax dollars has been hijacked by DOGE and the Trump administration. Truck loads of food have been left to rot, Trump doesn't want to pay for it. While he is out golfing.
It may not just b incompetence. They have a plan. A job to do before we catch on. They work at Mach speed for a reason. What exactly was the secret P’25 part? Liars. They placate us as they line up the next opportunity to exploit resources. Where r they in the crypto gig? Where is gold from FtKnox?
That's what the billionaires want us to believe. They clearly have no issues with corporate welfare. They think helping their friends is more important than the common man.
Sorry, but they had it coming. They hoped #Trump would harm the blacks, the "twinks", the "dykes", the "trannies" they couldn't legally kill. But now he's going to starve them to death. #YourVoteHasConsequences #FAFO
Of course. The cruelty is the point. As long as the trumps and the musks can buy another mega yacht. I guess they never heard of the American, French, and Russian revolutions. All based on the poor and underrepresented had to finally stand up. Fight back. The people seem to have been forgotten.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk enjoy inflicting pain and trauma on people, particularly the sick, the infirm, and the elderly. Especially if those people aren’t white. Basically they want everyone who’s not white and rich to shut up and die.
They’re a drain on President Musk’s and his lapdog trump’s insatiable lust for money. I’ll be attending a Hands Off event this weekend regardless of a forecast for wet weather in my neck of the woods.
Bannon's DEMOCRACY KILL PLAN! 1. Destroy Social Security Income. 2. Destroy Healthcare. 3. Destroy their source of survival foods. Cambridge Analytica has always been a plan disappear those people that can not become the King's enslaved workers. This is not a Financial Debt Improvement Plan.
Yeah of course! And the millionaires and billionaires will just jump right in. FFS just tax em all there will be enough. First though you got lots of pain coming.

Go ahead, I'll wait.

We are failing as a society here!

More for them is what it's all about.
Scary time to be old, young, sick, poor, other abled, or really just not a rich white guy.
The people are the problem.
Everyone will get old...even you🤦🏻♂️
I heard he was abducted by aliens once, but they returned him because they couldn’t understand what he was saying.
Why hasn’t he gotten rid of himself?
How YOU doin’?
No more nutrition, a quick friendly volunteer hello that also serves as a well-check for our Moms, Dads and Grandparents?
This is so the top 1% can have permanent tax cuts while the whole GOP is crying deficit issues?

They work for us and we can vote them out
