they're not sending anything anywhere right now. You need competent administrators to do that sort of thing and right now all they've got are a couple kids straight out of college manning the fax machine.
Yr not the only one with that feeling. I was just telling a couple of friends that it feels like they are exposing their positions all at once and there are gaping holes to exploit all along the perimeter.
The fact that these dumbasses can't comprehend the broader economic impact of this shows that they are only concerned about fulfilling their need to be subservient and spiteful.
The majority of Congress is largely composed of a bunch of little assholes with no concept of 'the common good'.
Now Americans finally feel how is it to be on the other side.
I feel sorry for the innocent Americans, but then again, while you are busy mass shooting each other, other parts of the world are building kindergartens and schools.
"Additionally, agencies must, for each Federal financial assistance program: (i) assign responsibility and oversight to a senior political appointee to ensure Federal financial assistance
conforms to Administration priorities." Oh good! Political Commissars!
no idea how to interpret this batshit crazy order but if it persists for any length of time, particularly if they include Medicaid (which is not specified from what I can tell), it almost certainly will touch off a recession https://taggs.hhs.gov/
Eggs are up 25% and expected to go up more. There are also massive shortages -- empty shelves where there used to be eggs for sale, the exact thing the GOP cried would happen if Harris were elected
Nope. You don't get to blame Biden and Harris for everything that happened while they were in office then turn around and give Donnie a pass for what happens while he's in office
🙄 i vote dem. Georgia shutting down poultry operations last week would not have happened if the CDC under Biden had taken any steps on H5N1. He gets zero passes for things he's actually doing (suppressing h5n1 reports!) but losing one of the biggest poultry states was already in motion.
They literally passed funding for a poultry vaccine in their last few days. Bird flu has been bad but moderately well surveilled; the main room for improvement is in forcing ag industry to comply with existing reporting standards and closing raw milk loopholes.
Love the Democrats man. Git the "let's do a genocide" button because they're slavishly devoted to campaign dollars and completely impervious to moral considerations.
"If you do the 2025 skip, you can get out of the 'adults in the room' phase and *screen glitches for a second* you skip right to the 'squinting at social media wondering if you're going insane' sequence *round of applause* I think we have time for donations"
That’s the strongest case they’ve got. I’d wager the amount of federal $ that’s gone to supporting “transgenderism” might buy a house in flyover country & the US government has not been or done anything remotely Marxist ever
It's difficult for me to understand how one gets to adulthood w/o any political philosophy. But in the US, it's hard to even have a live conversation about politics because so many are so ill-informed and only have an opinion on today's events.
This is a disaster regardless, but Politico claims it specifically doesn’t touch Medicare or Social Security. If that’s accurate, is there a reason Medicaid would be treated any different than Medicare?
The order has been written in a really vague way I think to allow them to say “yeah those ones that will go to [insert supplicant who has donated to the RNC or otherwise capitulated] are not actually paused under the order.”
Trump is running several idiotic programs that will
Run up inflation
& kickstart a strong recession:
His imposed ignorance of several impending diseases
These immediate stop orders of research grants, gov hiring
His moves towards incorporating cryptocurrency into the Fed will massively devalue our dollar.
Trump tariffs will increase cost of imports to the US consumer.
Again - this week has been an example of a toddler wielding a sledgehammer vs a surgeon with a scalpel. Pardon all 1500 convicts. Halt all funding? Science? meetings? aid to other countries? It's cuz he's too stupid to discern and use logic to determine things on basis of need and importance
So they can rob the treasury while we're all too busy getting the rest of it figured out.
Loot and pillage is the core of fascism. It starts at home. First they'll plunder the treasury, then the rest of the government. After that they loot the people. And from there they loot other nations.
There was a huge marketing blitz in my state this past fall for applicants. It really makes me wonder if it was in anticipation of FAFSA aid going away in 2026. I'm incredibly cynical at this point.
I know they do. I just was hopeful that maybe we'd get at least one year of aid. Expecting to lose ACA coverage next year so totally looking forward to that!
Going to be crazy when, in 20 years, I tell my kids that America use to be the No1 global power and they look at me super confused that the world's most fucked up, poorest and most hated country use to be good.
Completely bonkers! But well, certainly people will certainly cash in on the market-volatilities which are sure to follow.. not the cause, but a side effect.. and any bet: it’ll only get worse and more irate.. hart to predict how much more insane US politics will become..

Medicaid is executed via federal grants to states, and *IS NOT* excluded in the memorandum.

Then fire them all, and bring in GOP replacements who will kiss the master’s boots forever.
Will it work?
