Is there anyone out there that is mapping any delayed or cancelled federal payments ? Would be really interesting to see which towns and cities are going to be hit

That’s heartbreaking. I had stage 3B cancer 40 yrs ago at age 20. Got into a clinical NIH trial that literally saved my life. I knew others with same cancer that wasn’t as advanced as mine who had usual treatment protocol and didn’t survive. I am rage crying into my pillow for your cousin.
Bank. Happened the first time almost a year ago to the day. 🤷🏾 My accounts was drained 10,000 dollars across my accounts. Even got into my Visa credit card ran it up to outraged numbers. Last money stashed that I had from the sale of my house after my husband died.
Oh my. I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine how horrible that is for you.
I am starting to think I have one acct for bill pay/check deposits. Then another to save everything else in. I am realizing, especially in this new environment, I can’t count on anyone or any company to protect me.
Appeared as a call from my Credit Union. They can fish and find info to make you think it's something real or official. Meanwhile they've gathered public info and electronically attack. Thing is I have 2 accounts. The money was hit on my bank not my credit union account. Smfh
Omg! I feel gaslit and I’m being told all I do is worry - let’s just see where this is going from my MAGA husband. I feel like screaming “it’s going to fucking hell is where it’s going - wtf is wrong with you that you can’t see this!” While I’m over here biting my nails and gnashing my teeth!
There is concern with social security monthly payment that should be here on the third Wednesday of the month. Not sure that's going to happen considering they have not adhered to some of the federal court order and I have a family member in the Federal Go concerned for job
Lots of information being gathered would be useful
My thoughts are democratic members of Congress , senators and paid party members that have staff should organize and divide up what’s needs to be gathered
Why not ?
I'm in Pa and I don't want to give my exact location, but I am aware that grant money was cut off to Victim/Witness protection- in particular, money allocated to work with women of Domestic Violence. I need to find out more, the last I heard the person (Director) said she would be losing her job.
Victim-Witness Protection works with many types of victims who have to testify against the person accused of a crime. This includes women of Domestic Violence, children who've been sexually abused and more. They are super professional and even sit in the courtroom during trials with the victims.
Pennsylvania is a disgrace anymore. Most of the peeps I work with praise the 🍊 jesus. They don't beIieve Obamacare is the same as Affordable Care Act. They will find out when it is gone.
If it weren't for Pgh and Philly, too red..... Can't wait to retire and leave
I live in Central PA and it's abysmal other than college towns and cities. I work for the state and saw a coworker cheering on cutting Medicaid. We work with Medicaid. Lol the brainwashing.... like you'd lose your job to "own the libs" and hurt the people we're supposed to help?
Also in PA and the social security office in my town is closed. A sign on the door says "closed until further notice" with no explanation. I get SS as a widow, a survivor benefit and I'm worried sick I won't get it this month. It's how I pay my rent right now. Had to get a second job too
It’s the OWM Taliban! They are all unliked, undesirable, unwanted and uncool so they want revenge on those that despise them. The thing I don’t get is the complete lack of respect for women but their sorry butts wouldn’t be on this great earth without the help of a woman!!!
Idk if i had billions of dollars and a large network, i might just hire someone to do something that i find interesting. Doing that would probably be easier for you than skeeting the question and leaving it for someone else to do and feeling you did or said something useful
I said,
“Idk if i had billions of dollars and a large network, i might just hire someone to do something that i find interesting. Doing that would probably be easier for you than skeeting the question and leaving it for someone else to do and feeling you did or said something useful”
I appreciate the crowd sourcing approach. What if someone is already doing this job and he can boost them? What if the comments here indicate where to focus? Having the info out in the open for anyone to browse is more helpful than working behind the scenes.
Fair, but then his question could come with a job offer if no one is doing it. The point still stands that “asking the question” is weaksauce when you have the means to acquire the answer.
Why not? Rump's Dr Ronny just joined DonOld's lawsuit against CNN(?)for editing Kamala's interview, for pain and suffering. My therapist could definitely attest to the fact my emotional well-being has suffered greatly due to Conold's actions and now Musk's.
I don't know if it counts, but Rogers, AR was hit by a big tornado and have been waiting for funds for quite a while. Half the town is not being rebuilt because the insurance won't allow it.
Oh my! That’s horrible. We just had to take pictures and then we could get moving on repairs. 20 years ago, but I guess things changed. People probably taking advantage. It seems like you could take a live video or something. Then have an intern stop by and make sure it’s the 🏠 and not fraud.
To be fair, small farms have been getting the shaft for decades now. We give a ton in farm aid.. but unfortunately just shy of every dollar goes to a few large corporate owned farms.
Representatives in its U.S. Congressional delegation—two votes for its Senators in the U.S. Senate plus a number of votes equal to the number of its Congressional districts.
Ummm borderbrat… you over thinking this discussion… the focus should be don’t we all agree that all the areas that are red in the map the majority of people there like licking orange man’s butthole with Elon playing with their dingleberries
Every state has 2 senators. Number of Representatives is equal to number of congressional districts a state has. One states congressional could hold one million people, another could have 10. Each get 1 bote
Yes we are all waiting. But more importantly will our legal system have any teeth when there's more and more people promoting unitary executive theory.
Stop using Google Search on your device, Google caved and changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. What's next? This is dictator sh*t.
I switched to Bing. It is about the same.
Do it. You can also email Google. press@google.com
Fight the good fight!
I am going to switch to DuckDuckGo....Bing caved and their map now shows the Gulf of America.🤢
A globalist and crook are in control.
The federal grant money that covers the cost of my cancer medicine was canceled, and my nephew who does search and rescue at National Parks got fired.
OMG 🤬🤬🤬
I am so sorry. Jesus I wish there was something we could actually do now. Other than somehow blowing up the building with them in it.
I honestly hope the best for you and your family.
The corporations have chosen money over morality and ethics. It's hard to keep fighting for good with this constant headwind. I used to think, how the hell could someone like Hitler come to be. I don't ask that anymore. There's a whole lot of good men doing nothing, if not being complicit.
Another good alternative is Searx, which basically pulls Google and Microsoft results with anonymised requests, so it's via proxy basically. You can find an instance of it or host it yourself
Ok seems I was missing some context here my bad, if you actually want to boycott Google straight up you could just disable it in the settings, but you'll still need to fetch results from ddg or startpage if you actually want good results
I did not know this! As a former nursery (trees not babies) office manager, and currently working for an organic fertilizer company, I will be making that switch.
I use Duck Duck Go, a private Pennsylvania company with about 200 employees. They don't track you. I saw a post from one of the new WH correspondents, who had been using it.
Definitely going to email them and give them a piece of my mind re: how I discriminate to refuse giving my business to companies that kowtow to fascists and nazis.
It's actually far superior to Google in my opinion. Google is such a walled garden. Anything they don't want you to see you don't. I searched a controversial news story some months back forty five results on google. Two thousand results on duck duck go.
I'm in Los Angeles. I'm hearing from a number of people here that grant payments have been frozen. Researchers all over the state are scrambling due to lack of access to info because of websites going dark. Will work on getting more info.
But who knows what they did to the database if they were altering code. It could have unintended consequences. I'm sure that whatever they meant to do was dastardly enough, but I have to wonder if any careless mistakes were made in the process since they were in a rush and probably sleep deprived
Thank you. Do you know if there was a payment schedule change this year? Others with the same bday have gotten theirs this month by the third so you can see why I’m a tad nervous.
No just waiting on you to tell us how we should teach our real colonization history of the world and how's its impacted our lifes today.
Since 700 bc. Mr shark 🦈
My husband was supposed to get his on the 14th and nothing yet. Not even a deposit notification in our bank showing that it’s coming. Wondering if fElon has anything to do with it.
He's responsible for what the government does with the payment they're suppose to make toward his education?
Adult or not he can't force the government to do something it doesn't want to.
Plus the people asking him must know that there's no payment because of DOGE's actions in Washington ...
I didn't say he's responsible for making sure the government paid. I said he was responsible for making sure the payment is made. In other words, if the government payment doesn't come through HE has to make sure it's paid. It sucks, but that's the way it works. 47 caused this chaos and doesn't care
They expect the son to pay the money himself?
If they do, they are pretty screwy, too! If he had that kind of money, he hadn't had to become a soldier to get an education.
But OK, you're probably right. Also in saying the orange doesn't care about things like that.
Again, I agree and hate the trumpski mir bastard too, but the payments have not been stalled. When and if they are, I am sure it will no longer be one anecdote.
Contact your congressman immediately whenever this type of thing happens. They need to know every instance. And their staff is there to help constituent s.
I work for an NIH funded research study at a university. I believe it'll be more of a knockout punch than a pinch in our community. The university and university hospital are a huge part of our economy. Sadly I don't think most people see the bigger picture.
Not sure how to track this. So far our #1 expense is still "Unreported". This includes all the secret programs hidden in DoD and DoE. This is followed by Social Security and interest on our debt which are almost equal expenses. You can see who benefits from maintaining high debt from this graph.
I was downloading PDFs from the now-archived, pre-felon 45 regime version last night. The active federal website has been changed. The PDFs detail their former guidelines and information. Here's the link:
Hey Mark. Can you please say something about the slash to NIH rates? Affecting me, and will put PA university employees out of work. Our AG did not join the lawsuit and judge only temporarily blocked this designating policy to those states.
I’m tracking what they’ve done to me. They’re garnishing my entire Social Security check collecting money I don’t owe them. That happened on Feb 4th. Local Social Security Office has no idea why.
Sue them, I will join and we can get a Class Action lawsuit started. They can't just take your money without some reason, but they will anyway. We will make sure they understand this doesn't happen in America. Then take their billions.
If that happened on February 4th it has nothing to do with the new administration.
Government is slow and the wheels for that kind of transaction were turning months earlier.
In Dec SSA sent me a letter garnishing my check by $300. Musk gained access to our data on Feb 1. SSA sent another letter on Feb 4 giving 1 week’s notice that I’ll get nothing. Local SSA office is researching what happened.
I looked at the website again and it shows what my monthly benefit is and deductions. The letter seems like a scam but SSA thought it was authentic. I’ll see what they have to say today.
My husband told his dad to check in w/ BIL, to find out if he's still getting his social security. BIL is MAGA, & also fully in charge of FIL's finances. They're both retired. So, not getting those checks would impact each one. However, admitting the checks aren't rolling in? Don't know if he would
Call your Attorney General. Based on a conversation with the office in my state, I believe they are looking for these types of actual issues happening. If you don’t think calling your state AG will do any good call one in one of the 19 states that are in the law suit against Doge (NY, MA, CA, IL…)
No. I received a severance package. They don’t count severance as income. Every year they ask me for more proof and I provide it. This letter was weird and out of the blue. They said I’d receive 20 cents for February and March and nothing thereafter. Today I received my normal deposit.
What in that post led you to believe he was being funny?? It’s going to be interesting to find out if Blue cities and states are going to be punished, while red cities and states receive Federal Funds.
It's all in how a person interprets it. I think it's sad to see any of our cities under political attack by the man who has taken the Oath to uphold the Constitution. It's humorous due to the paradoxical situation.
With the number of journalists that have gone independent, I find the question valid. There are any number of journalists who would find this an interesting topic for their readers.
For SSI, not SS. SS is disbursed according to birthday starting the second Wednesday of every month. If your birth date is the 1st-10th your check comes the 1st Wednesday.
I wonder if they rushed them due to incoming weather? DC shuts down in the snow. We ran our pay certification early because of that. The checks will still drop on time, but anything involving people is done.
Same. I do see that my bank is actually crediting it to my account two days early because they “see it coming down the pike”. Of course that’s not the exact words they used but hey, I’ll take it early!🤷♀️😂
Dreading what may be done to Medicare, too. My PCP's office has called me to schedule the annual Wellness exam but I'm in no hurry to do so as I'm in no position to pay for that out of pocket.
I agree that we should be covered this month. A friend lost her job a few weeks ago (smelled it coming) and put in for early SS at 62 - her first payment is due next week and she is worried that she'll be left high and dry. Anything for Feb or later may be up to the courts.
If you guys are retired, are you going to protests? Are you writing your reps, your media, whatever you can do? This is a coup. It has to be stopped before it’s too late.
Mine came right on schedule. It's supposed to be there this coming Wednesday, but the bank actually shows it as available for withdrawal the preceding Saturday.
Might want to change your password. Not my business, but a lady was giving this advice today and to freeze any credit you aren’t currently using. I don’t have anything, but passing it on. ❤️🩹
Time for the states to call up their national guard units. Take Musk & his band of thieves into custody. Substitute your favorite Blue Governor & Blue Attorney General
We just need to arrest Elon Musk for contempt of court, but the National Guard of all 20 litigating states should be ready for retaliation from Trump. DC Mayor can figure out the National Guard in DC. DC IS SMALLER THAN BROOKLYN NY!!! Queens NY is bigger 😂😂😂 The contempt litigation can proceed later
The National Guard is activated by Governors UNLESS the president federalizes them, he will the instant anyone tries something like this.
His DOD secretary WILL turn all military against the public, especially elected leaders, and execute anyone who defies them as traitors.
No it’s not simple, but the oath is to the US Constitution. There you go standing on decorum and norms. The troops will have to decide. MAGA or Constitution They’re training and oath will have to do. What would you do? Wait on the mid-terms? Cross your fingers for the upcoming special elections?
Even if he were to be arrested, wouldn't he be brought up on federal charges? Which would then just prompt Trump to pardon him? This all seems so hopeless.... and trust me, I'm trying my hardest.
That would be litigated. So maybe State charges would apply for example if Trump decided to throw Elon under the bus like he did Michael Cohen, Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, etc. The scale of US Treasury SSN/EIN data estimated leaked would amount to an estimated $6 Trillion fine 30 x Elons wealth
I’m a disabled veteran and I’m absolutely terrified right now. I rely on the pittance I’m given each month. I honestly do not know what I’ll do if that is cut.
The phones at many are not recorded anymore I was told.
To hide all the questions not answered.
So you can get info! Tip you must get thru first call! Most are Private Directories services. So ask for A department! Or the Public Info Contact!
Then be nice ask ???
On their side! This is Nuts?
They give info.
It is crazy worst morale ever!
They fear it will go on 90 days??they have no clue. No Purchase order approval!
They will not confirm my Call?
They run out of supplies? No testing? No PPE
You have the $
DM been at it since 1/22/2025! 12 calls! 5 messages! 2 emails! HHS CDC USDA.
I don't think they are being tracked by state, but I think it should be fairly easy to compile lists of industries and agencies affected. Let me dig. I'm a data nerd.
This far I am immediately aware of grants frozen to PA mental health facilities, PA Head Start, PA Title X, VA health clinics, Delaware's Head Start, Delaware Health and Social Services children's lead protection program...
VA health clinics? That's where I get my health care (and I'm quite happy w it, BTW). I'll check w my providers & see if they know anything.
So, FTR, VA is like a model of universal health care, IMO. I'd love feedback from other vets to see if they like it too...
No. I don't think we have enough information to do geographic mapping, but it would be interesting. I'm not even aware of any efforts to systematically map all the different forms of impoundment happening right now (if a writer wants to pitch me an article/project doing so, email in bio)
A major barrier would be disclosure. Some larger social services don't want to disclose or make statements out of fear or their board's decision to appear neutral.
It seems our segmented system is working against us.
Lmk what you find on MO, literally radio silence on all funding freezes, including NIH, where WashU is the 3rd largest recipient
I read one article today, local researchers are scared to be vocal due to retaliation
Which is unfortunately the ultimate end game
No one talks it all gets taken away
CDC here in Atlanta.. And remember from his govt down many corporations here in GA that have government contracts were planning layoffs his last term in office..
So I think the struggle with this is that most Americans don't know what these departments oversee or fund, and where they are located. I think we need to bring it down to the most basic level to really see what is happening, parse out the agencies and locations with freezes.
I think showing people that their schools, their health clinics, state's lead poisoning programs are being affected, that will hit home more than the NYT saying that turkey research took a hit.
Also, it doesn't account for small grants. A family member of mine directs a mental health facility that
Upgrading its security and safety systems, because it cares for seriously ill people with problematic behaviors who are discharged from the hospital but aren't ready to live independently. That stuff isn't on there.
Spoke to a woman here in Ga and she claims that Kemp is helping her special needs son- not realize that the $ she gets comes from
The DOE that protects him and sends GA those funds..🤦♀️
I think your chart helps. I didn't know it was out there! I couldn't find anything. Breaking those things down into the smaller parts, seeing how the systems work is necessary.
I work in social services. Lots of people I work with voted against their own benefits because they didn't understand what they were voting for. We name our departments in unusual ways in this country, and it's not the public's job to know how it all works, but we suck at making it accessible.
Community health centers would be on that list. Many, including those in red states, or hit by the funding freeze and subsequent delayed payments. They serve 32 million people every year, including 1 in 5 rural folks. They also employ 500,000 people. https://search.app/EQzJ4psWNEAViUWw6
This breaks my heart. LIHEAP is necessary for lots of Americans to care for their families. It is still cold in many parts of the US, and people will be left without heat. Their pipes will freeze and burst, leaving them without water.
Removing one necessary social service is a slippery slope.
One might say that a billionaire, like Mark Cuban for example, has a moral obligation to do more than post on social media about how its everyone else's job to fix this...
Amen. I’ve been waiting for an insurance check in the mail for 13 days now. Checked twice wi the the sender to ensure address was correct and verified mailing.
Mail from the UK arrived a month after it was posted. I had already made a phone call because I assumed it was lost, so it will be interesting to see when the second copy turns up.
You would think that GOP would at least care for the veterans who risked limbs and life for the nation, even if they don’t care about anybody else in need.
The veterans? Didn’t he say something similar on his last round when he visited the graves of us soldiers fallen i the world wars. He called them loosers.
But the rest of GOP, if we ignore the clown, shouldn’t they care?
GOP claims of supporting our veterans have been trite smokescreens to fool the public—along with the flag lapel pin as a trope—while working to cut their benefits.
The Republican faux patriotism and support for the troops has always been performative. When they say they support the troops, they really mean they support the military industrial complex that always needs more and more weaponry for their made-up wars and stock portfolios.
Plus, some SNAP benefits arrive on the 15th of each month. Ditto some Social Security and SSI benefits. Stuff will hit the fan if any of those benefits are delayed or deleted. Is Mark reading any of these replies?
I am also holding my breath, but mine is pocket chg. It makes my car payment. If I don’t, one of my Trump loving sons will be paying it or driving me wherever and whenever I want. They may hv to take time off of work
Usually, it deposits on the Saturday before the 3rd Wednesday. But things being the way that they are, I wouldn't be surprised if it came on the actual day and not early.
Same here. My partner (77) is on SSDI, I (going on 75) am on SS, and so is my landlady (going on 76) upstairs. We all live paycheck to paycheck. I take care of my partner who is virtually bedridden, and this is a stress factor on me. I don't need another stress thingie!
I know I am spamming this but it is something that needs to be repeated!!!!
THIS IS WHAT THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES SHOULD SAY TO TRUMP, MUSKRAT, AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. YOU TOUCH OUR SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE BENEFITS! YOU WILL GET YOUR FUCKING HEAD BLOWN OFF!!!!!!!
“Just Saying”
Yeah, there’s a lot of this sort of all-caps posturing going on online.
However, I don’t believe for a second that the gravy seals are coming to save America. It’s all bluster. If they tried they’d just fuck it up anyway. Best focus on upcoming special elections and tossing wrenches in the works.
Presumably, while you’re opening us up for 47 to declare martial law you’re also using your internet access to call/text/email/fax your reps, flood snitch lines with bad info, and alerting people to special elections. You’re not just on here hyping up strangers for the dopamine hit? Right?
They would love nothing more than for us to get violent so they can declare martial law and use the military against us. We're going to have to find other means of stopping them.
I do fear that, but I’m worried that if we don’t organize and mobilize that our voices will not be heard.
I’m calling and emailing my Senators and congresswoman MTG (ugh) but I fear this isn’t enough.
National organizing starts local. Find your community close by and offline, then we start forming small coalitions.we are starting behind the curve so it's not gonna feel like enough, but we can't skip the steps and expect any sort of resistance to work.
Exactly...that's why he's sending so many squirrels to chase. Hoping one of them triggers someone into acting violent so he can use full blown dictator powers.
Martial law in the US is not really feasible, even for specific cities. We do not have the military to become an occupying force in our own country, even assuming that all military members would willingly go against their own countrymen.
Everyday there were protests, Viet Nam, women's rights, civil rights. I don't know what it will take this time. Europe seems to get it. We look like fools.
I mean, a quick google search says nothing about social security being removed. A more advanced search says that it is funded enough to run at least through 2036. The possibility of payments being reduced is there, but not immediately.
So far, the highly publicized immigration/deportation raids have been in blue states. Of course, all urban areas vote Democratic. So cities will be targeted.
Karma is a thing and with that comment, it will be served up. You apparently need to be too sick to work and have no source of magical income, for you to personally understand human suffering…are you MAGA? Need to know ASAP
Actually no...I detest Maga. I have travelled to over 58 countries.nany without social programs. I have worked helping the poor. I will have Karma and it will be very very good.
Clueless aren’t you….and don’t read.. 70% of those on federal assistance are the working poor who work for those corporations that have gotten over 50% tax cuts since 1981 that per Reagan were supposed to trickle down..🤦♀️ And didn’t- the exact opposite
I am not stupid and I do read. I have had times in my life when I had to work more than one job...like right now. I work 2.
Necessity causes folks to do what they need to survive. Trump told everyone what he was going to do. The Dems showed Project 2025.
Suggest you pull up who gets that federal assistance- mainly single white mothers with children and the elderly who usually aren’t able to work and barely getting by on their SS since 50% of the wages that made while working doesn’t go far for those with low paying jobs..
I live on one of those red states and worked for a Fortune 500 company- and as part of the merger for a pension since their Union up North required them- yet none of the employees since then have had them- just 401k’s that leave the employee taking all the risk not the co.. 🤷♀️
It will be those red states that are GOP led that will suffer the most - because they keep electing representatives that pass laws to keep the corps happy and the people stuck with having to work 2-3 jobs to barely get by..
Try reading a little more.. What you are promoting is the same BS the GOP has for decades while they give the wealthy & corps more tax cuts and run up our National debt.. Challenge those old beliefs and you may be surprised.. I was…🤷♀️
Why should corporations like Walmart, McDonald’s, Amazon etc be making billions off their labor and the taxpayer having to provide that needed medical care etc.. Because they are all about what they can get not about their employees..Your comment about working 2 jobs just lets them get away with it
Why do the same companies in Canada...give healthcare, dental, opportunities for education, worker safety, because the government mandates it. Why do workers vote Republican? The GOP was founded by business people to make the peasants poor and subservient that is why Red states are so poor!
And did you bother to read Project 2025? If you did you would know he lied to you since what is happening was in those 900+ pages..🤷♀️ Why should people have to work two jobs when it is the corporations who have had 50% tax cuts that is supposed to be doing better for you and others..🤔
Don’t believe me- feel free to check the historical tax tables
1980 top Corp tax rate 46%( and tax deductions were to incentivize them to take care of their employees)-
Today 21% - soon to be 15%.. Don’t have it do for their employees now that they cut those taxes unless they want to pay zero 🤔
No, it’s not. Personally, I am a 100% disabled army veteran, and working is definitely not an option for me anymore. If I lost that pension, I have no idea what I would do.
I called SS today regarding a survivor benefit. They said things are still going there. I told them about post card I recd now req bank info and that she gets check. He said leave it as a check, they do not need bank info. They also said call SS not Treasury ph#s on post cards.Did get check today WI
I'm just worried about my application for Social Security. I applied before this chaos but haven't been able to check status since. It's supposedly time sensitive, and the portal has been down for weeks.
New York is going to be the first one. Those idiots still think the legal migrants were put up in fancy hotels with room service and everything else and don't understand that most of these hotels were on the brink and maybe saved by this money.
I’m so sick of hearing this from my trumpster friends. And hoe people froze to death in North Carolina. I loved through Sandy lost my house along with so many others. I tell them that those in NC got the same help we got here in NY. they don’t want to hear it. No truth at all.
People I thought were normal have told me that immigrants are getting free phones and $5000 a month- straight-faced and serious. I just can’t stand what this country has become.
Once upon a time people were harder to figure out. Now it can be pretty easy to figure out what a lot of their issues are just by what lies from the right they spout the most.
There are adults and children in Western North Carolina still living in tents and freezing in our mountain cold weather. FEMA was here and we also had help from non-profits. We need much more aid and the Republicans blocked it. tRump has done nothing since he came here last week.
Britt’s promising to minimize damage, and she’s been effective at special treatment for AL so far. IMHO all announced funding cuts are blankets so the admin has the power to give it back to those states that are “loyal.” AL can’t run w out massive federal funds.
this needs a per capita of some sort. california has a LOT of research institutions. the distribution here may be more reflective of where research is done and actually be more or less uniform if expressed as per researcher or something like that.
By towns & cities or congressional district would be helpful.
Does anyone else think the ⚽ (Dodge-ball) group added a spigot plug to the Treasury platform that gives Trump a way to turn on/off funds by congressional district?
I don't know how it works in usa, but here in canada, we can directly give the amount you want to a ong and you'll have a taxes return equal to the amount.
The map funding color scale normalized by polulation is far less dramatic than the funding color scale normalized by number of senate votes. But the coloring of this map is helpful for people to understand some of the rationale here.
I'm in Texas. Our own Governor is sitting on a huge surplus of money while he badgers the legislators to approve school vouchers, which are a proven waste of money and have been voted down 3 times in the last session.
Since I made the suggestion -- please know I'm willing to help with data entry or anything time consuming like that so you can focus on the bigger picture. Just let me know!
Oh my days. At first I looked at this map and thought, well, at least California, New York, and Massachusetts will be okay (attempting a bright side)…until I realized the bluer the badder. 🥺
It is an amount of research grant funding that is being taken away. A portion that supports the underlying infrastructure of the college/university. In some cases this means lost jobs and in others important health research won’t be performed or will be delayed.
note this is complicated by the fact that grad students participate in a lot of the research, too. their funding is mixed because they are still receiving education ABD they are helping educate—teaching or teachers assistant etc.
but if there is no research they can work in to earn their degrees, then they will have to leave. so the research collapse starts to hit the education side even if that remains funded. no grad students, no future researchers/faculty, less education for the under graduates
this doesn’t even touch on support staff: people to ensure the labs are equipped and supplied, complying with safety and ethics and regulation. staff to maintain and run the computers. staff that maintain, clean and run the entire building.
California loses the most, of course. He would love to bankrupt us. Every time I see a cut that he’s making, I ask myself what his real intention is. Privatize research so that he can give more money to corporations. Does he get a cut?
It’s very hard being an anti-Trumper here in Boise, Idaho. Lord knows I can’t got a single day without seeing a Trump flag, MAGA hate or an FU Biden bumper sticker. I’m calling my state officials daily and getting widely ignored. But I’ll never give up. We are nearing the end of our 249 year gvrnmnt
Ours… I just have no words. But I do call them now, well only one because the other flat out said he wasn’t going to care no matter how much we called. I follow votes and polls and I’m so much more active and aware than my poor fox new reliant mother 😂🫠
About 20 older peaceful protesters when to McConnells Lex,Ky office to urge him not confirm Trump’s bad cabinet picks bc no one was answering the phone or returning messages. They were locked out and the police arrived and told them they would have to stand on a sidewalk across a highway.
My Husband and I are waiting to see too we are really worried because his SS check comes in on the 26th that is our Rent check if we can't pay rent we are homeless at 60
The immigrant community here in Seattle has modified food pantry giveaways to a drive by form, which people feel is safer. Some school programs are also being affected, people are justifiably scared re child separation etc.
WEP/GPO was repealed on Jan 5, allowing 3 million retired citizens to collect their full payment. However, SSA posts that it will take a year..minimum..before most of us see the money, mostly due to staff shortages and the current hiring freeze.
Some Cheeto voter got on TT crying because he was going to lose his farm. Biden made the program that he signed up for. Cheeto canceled it. You voted AGAINST your own interest. Now you need to sit with your decision. But he SCREAMED Cheeto 2024. Concepts of chicken and crops. 🤷🏽♀️
This has to fucking stop. U know who's to blame, THE DEMOCRATS .it's bc they are so pathetic and corrupted by the same donors the repubs are that they threw us to a fascist bc they cldnt run an economically populist message. U better start blaming the right pple or it'll keep happening. Sick of this
Yes! And if you are tracking, please get the news media on this so we can start sharing articles with reps. And also, please contact your reps if this is happening to you, especially GOP so they get in line.
Do you not have billions of dollars to do something like that or you know offset those cancelled and delayed payments? I get it, you’re an idea man, not someone who actually does anything to fucking help.
he did it with covid. aimed it as best he could at anyone he wanted gone. I don’t think we have a “pandemically-exacerbated genocide” category for crimes against humanity… yet
I agree! Although there's a flaw in that approach because Republicans also live in blue states. Not that I care, at this point, if they also get screwed!
Most of the blue state civil servants are on military bases. Most of these civil service employees are retired veterans who voted for the copper colored tyrant.
Oh and my kid who is applying to clinical psych PhD programs in trauma care told me that applicants who were offered positions to study in a PhD programs in science had their offers rescinded. Many of these folks would be funded by NIH.
See this is so scary to me as someone who wants to go into clinical/neuropsych research part-time or full time. Heck, I don’t even know with equal work protection act recently got revoked and DEI if I can even get a graduate education! Like he really is getting revenge on scientist and medicine 🫠.
As a mom to a kid who is wanting a career in providing mental health care, I am worried. For clinical psych PhD program admission, the acceptance rate is around 1% and this is before the threats to NIH funding. Good luck to you. I followed you. I hope you will get to live your dreams.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am actually going to a Psy.D Program, but it has a strong research funding program. I am counting on getting my dreams, I would not let the government wipe my existence(as a women, as person of non-white origin(MENA) and disabled).
Thank you for the replay and luck!
Trust me, I wish I could study abroad as I am sick of having to deal with this administration again. Plus, I am person with a disability and low funds…making it hard to move 😅.
However, you are correct, this administration does give good material for a psych thesis
She passed her defense and graduated. However, since her work was in marine biology regarding the effects of the Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and they defunded NOAA & NIH back then too, there were no jobs. She worked in a corporate business manager’s training program til the end of
trump 45, then was able to find a position in medical research. Still not marine biology but at least science. Now she has a mortgage and single income household. Again, her life has been destabilized during this last month. So much stress in such a young life. These should be the fun years.
That's so awful, I'm sorry for all the hard work they have put in to get to this point, to have it just taken from them so arbitrarily. Spread this info everywhere! People need to know the ripple effects of these horrible cuts being made.
Senator Chris Murphy from CT had posted earlier today that community health centers and head start programs in his state were still not receiving funds.
We’ve got over 30 million here what site could they report info like State and difficulty w federal payments to be tabulated? A relative tried getting in touch w SS. 1hr10 min wait. He’s a trumper. I just started laughing.
Why ask? People give you data or feedback all the time & yet nothing ever comes back out except more questions. People have given you tons of solutions that you could amplify from your platform, but don't. Sad.
I feel bad for Americans overseas who won't get their Social Security checks. Wonder Mark what Trump thinks will happen when thousands of people lose their jobs and are all angry at him and Republicans?
I voted for him, knowing my federal job might be cut. As a constitutionalist, I support smaller government. He's in office to tackle a bigger issue, though, which is why I back him. Liberals will be willing to understand once they move past the hate.
That's going to take congressional action. He can't just sign an executive order for that. He wants to abolish income tax and put a federal sales tax on discretional spending. This will take time to get completed.
One of my supervisors is Ultra MAGA he got hit with all Government Workers back to the office 5 days a week. He lives 2.5 hours away….. I smirk every time I hear him complain about the commute. Oops!
I strongly believe some of them regret it deep down but they have made being a Trump ass-kisser such a huge part of their personality that they can’t bear to admit it to even themselves.
They will bend themselves into a mental pretzel to justify his actions.
Yes yes ... war monger Republicans now align themselves with the democrats... MAGA is the populist party, took over the republican party and kicked them out ... now we have leftists and war mongers vs. everyone else..
There’s no them v us. It’s just we the people. Well come together, eventually for a common cause. I’m not going to be enemies with fellow Americans. It’s obvious who wants to divide us.
I was a school board member and was talking to an employee about an upcoming school tax election. She wasn’t going to vote for it because “there were places the school budget could be cut without more taxes.”
She lost her job.
I saw this coming and changed my political affiliation to Republican. Still have my job, but I'm not in one of regulatory agencies or tasked with government oversight. Lost my ability to work from home, though.
I've got a stack of REAP grants that were approved and contracts signed. Work had not started. We can't proceed. Farmers are pissed and we are left holding the bag.
as far as you know THAT is the truth ;) keep doing your job, make sure to double check in writing requesting an official 'stop' document with each and every supervisor. Ask detailed specific questions about cases you're on. Drag it all out. Being 'thorough' might save someone Burry them in paperwork
@mcuban.bsky.social
Time to create America's Response Team. Get the food and doctors to all children who were left out to die by America. This hole needs to be plugged.
I’ve been thinking the same thing. This system handles trillions in payment though. Government spending touches every part of the economy. I’m not sure how we would organize something like this, but it would require a bit of triaging to take the most in need first.
For sure, but if we had billionaires fund the first couple of billion, at least those most at risk could have needs at least offset the devastation. Donor Advised Fund so anyone can contribute as a tax write off. I'm okay with my "would be" tax dollars redirected to saving children.
We are already extremely close to a constitutional crisis. Any emergency relief plans need to factor in the worst case scenario, which is where we are rapidly headed.
Totally agree. Private funding needs to be in the works now. America's Retirement Fund is also on my list. Trump's piggy bank will only benefit him and his broligarchs.
I think we are evolving into a two tiered justice system where laws are enforced selectively. We won’t have the option to not pay taxes, and divert them elsewhere. A tax-write off is good, assuming they still exist.
That is when we raise our withholding to 5 so it is not taken out of our paycheck. That tax bill on April 15th, feel free to decide on paying. Sadly, we are heading towards Civil War faster than you can say comrade.
I’ve been trying to game out how this is going to look after total destruction. There is going to be a huge void where social services used to be. I think the impact on the entire economy is going to force many people into poverty that are not currently there. What will 15% unemployment look like?
Right. With 10% annualized inflation to boot. I have made myself sick trying to find a positive outcome and it doesn't exist. I'm sure I will continue looking to no avail. The financial impact alone is devastating for most Americans. Currently waiting for my deportation back to Prussia.
Be a fucking wrench in the wheel! Please? If you don't they'll just take more and more. They will take whatever we are willing to give. And it'd be way more than they could imagine!!!
Trump thinks he's above the law and can get away with everything. He is probably signing more executive orders so they can say this one wasn't on the court order.
He has always operated as if he’s above the law. His Dad was very well connected to a corrupt city hall & politicians. The things that Trump has gotten away with his whole life is infuriating.
O I know. I have seen some wild articles on him that never seem to have gotten enough attention. People need to be educated on who their Politian's are.
We can't get stuck in the how's we just have to do it. Regardless if government fails we all stop working stop purchasing anything but absolute essentials and keep it up. Smoke them out bring the economy to a crawl.
I think that Vance is going to end up turning on Trump. Trump isn’t going to show any support of Vance, he might even try to deport his wife. That’s the kind of control Trump needs to have.
But he is super awkward with people and won't have Trump's appeal. Why Trump has any appeal to anyone is beyond me, but I don't think Vance has the same skill.
Yes but Trump provides the smoke screen, the glish gallop, the fire hydrant of lies and nonsense. He is the figurehead. He has no real belief system but that of the grift. Vance, the Technorati and the Christian Nationalist are the ones who are faithfully and Target competently executing the plan.
Are you referring to James Bowman? We don’t use his chosen name so long as he deadnames children and tells people they can’t use their preferred pronouns.
Republicans in the House would be terrified to vote to impeach trump, no matter how many or how egregious his “high crimes and misdemeanors” are. Getting primaryed out of their job is not their biggest potential threat; a crazed magat might physically hurt/kill them or a member of their family.
Not all portals for payments from approved federal grants are open… I just had a meeting with my county commissioners today at work… Most portals have reopened, but not all. They’re still messing with the financial well-being of this country.
I don’t work at that program, but at least in my area, they are looking at everything before publishing. Things are being censored, mostly with the excuse of DEI. This admin doesn’t take viruses seriously, so I wouldn’t expect that to be published anytime soon.
Please don't just share on this forum. Tell your reps in DC what you think. Resist. It only takes a few minutes and best of all..it doesn’t cost any money.
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.
Checks don’t come out on a Saturday. The Friday before is when it’s dispersed. I do know because I receive SSDI and have blind friends who get SSI as well. I won’t be surprised with any holdups because of these non(buyouts) happening currently. Gotta have button pushers. I’ll know tomorrow.
Depending on your status, it’s due on 2nd Wednesday of the month (Feb 12) but if you have auto deposit, should be in your account Fri. February 7th. Hope you have received it by now.
Got mine, two days early as usual, because of Huntington's early pay direct deposit. I'm sure Keith Ellison's office would be interested in your call if it is further delayed. He's already sued them.
Got mine on the 1st. That said, it was before Wormtongue and his orcs started raiding in full force writing code, building back doors and playing in their "sandbox" with the system. Hope it comes for everyone...
Call your Attorney General. Based on a conversation with the office in my state, I believe they are looking for these types of actual issues happening. If you don’t think calling your state AG will do any good call one in one of the 19 states that are in the law suit against Doge (NY, MA, CA, IL…)
You KNOW it’s gonna be the Red States and the Red Cities. You know that. Why? Because they get the most federal funding. And why’s that? Because conservative policies don’t work and the government has to aid them to survive.
Let's start with California's "rail system" A billion dollar laundering scheme. I am not opposed to ANY politician, red or blue to be executed for stealing OUR tax dollars. PPV
This is why the U.S. political and economic landscape is so complex, with different combinations of policies producing different results in different states
Oh i am pretty sure they'll try to manipulate this process to reward their fans and inflict pain on what they think of as their enemies. That's why we need to keep track
Likely scenario is federal funding will return to the red states once they declare utmost loyalty to trump. Federal funds will continue to be withheld in all the blue states.
I'm waiting for some crazy citizen ID system to get established requiring us to state our party pretend only loyalists get federal benefits. Just my thought
Sorry babe, traditionally, you are lured into acting "masculine," cooerced into "helping" them (you get empowered and it's hard to resist when there is nothing else to be had) THEN they let you know what they really think of you and you have no friends or support because you sold out. Fight now!!!
they don’t need a card for that; they already have OUR voter data Paul Manafort sold to Russia.
They know who we vote for and they will use this against us
anything true? Google search: Ilon working on brain implants, neurons crap etc...throws words like FDA, test done on 1st human, etc? Doing to scare us? Stopped watching a soc sec channel BC he kept saying chips & not mark of the beast. Jesus world is insane...
I mean some kind of physical mark on our body. The ultra religious will lose it having to choose between "the mark" and following their beloved leader.
If this is the game, the federal government wants to play with states then I say the blue states & the cities who contribute the most to the federal taxes that aid the Red state I say we withhold our federal income tax. California, Illinois, New York just to name a few regions.
It will automatically be returned to red states. Not one GOP congressional rep has voted against DJT. Money will be withheld from blue states, cities, jurisdictions, entities, & individuals. Also black entities & individuals under the guise of “anti-black code “DEI.”
Yes, as ridiculous as it sounds that'll be the case. But... will NYC get funds because the ahem, democrat mayor lof the city cozied up to the GOP and got fraud charges dropped against him? (talk about ridiculous ideas!)
So we give more to the federal government than they give us ... I say withhold. All the states that do...withhold. Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota (?), Illinois, New Hampshire, Washington State, Nebraska and Colorado.
The judges will have to try to enforce it? Appeal to supreme court? Trump may tell DOJ to drop cases Any number of things. If he doesn’t do it all judges all court business in the country should stop in solidarity
Then they are going to report it as such via agencies that used to be trusted. It's going to be made up and entirely distored data. Businesses and Citizens will have no way of knowing what's real anymore. At least, that's almost assuredly the plan.
Will keep you posted on Pell grant and FAFSA standings. I'm sure others will report as well. Some college grants match Pell grants. The impact, like all these others, is massive.
Reclaim the narrative!!!
Yes, especially in the swing states interesting whose being affected by the individual economics of this blunt-edge of the cleaver approach
I can’t believe when the dust settles maga/trump voters will not be as affected as all the other “enemies within”
Good metric to watch
Wow. Wonder who is pulling Trump's strings on that? This is the problem with Citizens United and the unbridled dark money: Musk Money is only the tip of the iceberg!
So basically I am being extorted at the threat of imprisonment to purchase insurance from a welfare program which the seller doesn't guarantee or insure & the seller habitually abuses by converting insurer payments into contractualized debt obligations known as "treasury bonds"?
No but another issue came up. I went my bank to add a deposit account for my SSI. I spoke with several staff explaining my concerns. I felt I’d entered fox news studio. I walked out saying I’d be finding a new bank that at
least put my concerns and solution before their politics. Awful experience.
Not that I know of. However, I wonder if we could set up a website for federal aid recipients to document whether or not their federal payments are canceled or delayed. What do you think?
Its going to be an eye opener, as various states that complain about government spending will be losing millions in a big way. Red States being more dependent on federal aid than Blue states. Mississippi, Texas and Mississippi use it in a huge way to limit there state budgets, so they can tax less.
Same here. Defying a legal order is abuse of power. If he gets away with this, we won’t need a Congress. They must impeach him if they value their positions.
🤜And... For all of us here in America. Start vetting the products we're buying. And buy Canadian and Mexican, European and Chinese products wherever possible! Fuck this trumpian america! trump and his administration, aren't American at all! His dictatorial fascism has no place at the table...Ever!🤛
I believe that Milwaukee and Racine will be hit hard, but Burlington (red, red, red) will escape the horror. While it may appear to the contrary with the haste of all of this, there is a method to their madness.
Yes, republicans have a way of delaying or trying to shelter their constituents from the consequences of their votes… at least until after their next election. Their donors always, eventually get their blood money from them as well.
Maybe he's 3 steps ahead of us and reaching out to seeimmediate impacts from non billionaires. If we are seeing his posts, so are those not allied with him. I tend to think he's playing chess, not hopscotch and moving in the shadows. Justmy humble opinion.
He froze all hiring but apparently that didn't apply to Elons minions. Now that they have hired them for federal jobs they are fixing the no credentials problem.
I meant Mark could be hiring a person or people to be tracking payment issues between monitoring news, social media, and direct contact with municipalities, counties, and states. Probably would need to be a team, with someone with a connection inside the Feds. But he could afford this.
I'm pretty sure they have unleashed viruses like scammers to pull the data even if they lose control. They still get the info. However it's too much information to consume and no one has that kind of single source computing power. Maybe Russia idk. More research needed.
The myth of the benevolent billionaire is why we are here now. Every billionaire is a thief. There's no way, in a capitalist system, that one individual provides so much value they're worth thousands of times more than the average individual. Please learn how to feel shame.
He does, that’s why he is asking? To let people know? If they want it ig, to play a informant role here now, but I’m just assuming, as his question felt like that to me 😅
I noticed that too. He’s a lot of bluster and talk, but he needs to put his money where his mouth is instead of posting on here like he’s a “good” billionaire.
Tell me exactly how you know he’s not putting his money where his mouth is? You think he’s responsible for making federal payments from his own fortune?
Because he would be broadcasting that on Bluesky, not what he is posting. I think he is responsible for using his privilege, wealth, and influence to help our country. He seeks attention, if he was actually doing something, he’d tell us.
That doesn’t even make any sense. Broadcasting *what* on Bluesky? He isn’t telling anyone what to do and he’s not seeking attention. You are, though. He’s literally just asking a question of everyone.
What he’s doing to help instead of what he does post. Doing a call for action. I agreed with an earlier poster and you came here with your big feelings. You can hope a billionaire will help you out, but as someone else wrote they’re not altruistic. Though I welcome him to prove me wrong.
The last thing this world needs is more "tech bros". Working on applications for the greater good is antithetical to the tech bro code of conduct. What is actually needed is more hackers and makers, we are a much more altruistic group and we aren't all bros! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_culture
If they take my money, I'm blowing something up, I'm not even fucking around with these assholes
Luigi will look like a puppy if they fuck with me personally and don't just start giving us the empty homes Zillow has stolen
You have no worries.They are not cutting SSI for the American People. They are removing the millions of illegals using one SS#, and the hundreds of people receiving SSI payments are claiming to be 112 yrs and 150 yrs of age. The audit found over $600 million in fraud. Let's hope you will get a raise
I don't believe that for one minute. They will go after us because we are too poor, too tired, too beaten down to fight back. They have already made it clear our lives mean nothing to them. Abundantly.
Here is just an example:
You are on SSI. The government gives you a raise. Then the government turns right.arount and reduced your snap significantly. I seen It happen every year. That needs to stop. That is what Trump will do. Watch both sides. Not just one side.
So...Trump is going to stop miniscule poor people from abusing the system? Or government entities from abusing the poor people? Because people are already getting priced out of essential medications, among other things.
I'm terrified too! My little girl is mentally/physically disabled, has a trach with oxygen 24 hr per day, a feeding tube to which she receives soc sec,medicaid/medicare. All life saving funding. I am so scared!
I am 65 and collect SS disability. I also have HUD housing assistance and Medicare.
I don’t think they understood if Medicare gets privatized there goes the protection for those with preexisting conditions. So let’s see how many diabetic republicans can afford their co pays, premiums script prices.
It is horrifying. We depend on our SS but my husband is also a retired Civil Servant. His pension is controlled by OPM which Muskrat has control of. Prayers for everyone!!
How many times do you need to hear that no one is coming after your legit SS?
However, If you’re cashing your deceased mother’s SS checks, you should be worried.
I need to see it to believe it. I don't trust the government, am currently facing bankruptcy due to a dispute with CalPERS and Medicare. They will screw you every chance they get.
EBT is by county. Meals on wheels sucks because u have to have an address.
Orange County= $8/month EBT
Riverside County= $230/month
Same state. But who needs food when u don't have insulin. I'll just starve to death or go into a coma. No biggie.
Terrible! It’s outrageous that the richest man on earth has authority to cut off disabled people’s food and medication. He has no frame of reference, no empathy for those who are struggling just to survive.
my dad retired 1980 Reagan and his administration taxed Social Security and Pensions
+ babies born after WW1 were called notch babies taking 8% more of their Social Security.
Then Reagan helped pass stock buy backs for the wealthiest board members faking it to look like it helped shareholders.
I agree. All Americans who are against Elon and Trump needs to be with community to help encourage each other, educate and learn what we can do. I do not intend to sit by passively and let them make us into an Authoritarian government and not do my part to fight back for myself and others.
Thank you! I do not intend to go down without a fight. I don’t know what any of us can do but I’m going to educate myself and find ways to effectively resist
Street corners. Caravans. And get the zoomers to help. Codepink is on top of everything. Plenty of lovely young people to push our wheelchairs. So ready for a Silver Uprising.
I’m sorry. My folks are on social security and I have a disabled sister too. My husband works for a nonprofit that gets federal funds. Trump doesn’t care about anyone but rich men
My Autistic son, 24, did not receive his care money and Medicaid office can not confirm his status at this time.
Anyway, He did not receive his February payment.
I'm so sorry that you & your son have to deal with this bullshit so early in the game. I'm sure our time will come soon. #JoshShapiro is my governor, & I'm hoping he'll square off with the fascists and hold back the flood of misery, at least for as long as he possibly can.
Sending you 🫂❤️☮️🫂.
☹️
My son (17), who has autism & an intellectual disability, DID get his SSI this month, & I think his CHIP & Medicaid are still active, but I'm bracing myself for the worst. I need to find a new adult ID Svcs provider bc the agency that approved him is closing & his TCM will lose his job in 3 mos.
I’m so sorry this is happening. It’s immoral to deny those in most need the support they deserve. I hope it will get settled soon, but our courts must enforce their rulings. It’s truly a constitutional crisis!
Call your Attorney General. Based on a conversation with the office in my state, I believe they are looking for these types of actual issues happening. If you don’t think calling your state AG will do any good call one in one of the 19 states that are in the law suit against Doge (NY, MA, CA, IL…)
I know it’s going to be Broward County in FL. We are the navy blue that used to be able to turn the state purple. But somehow rural counties now outvote us. The same number of people vote every presidential election in Broward since 2016. How is that possible?

It isn't his fault what Musk and Trump are doing, and they ought to know that, I think.
Adult or not he can't force the government to do something it doesn't want to.
Plus the people asking him must know that there's no payment because of DOGE's actions in Washington ...
If they do, they are pretty screwy, too! If he had that kind of money, he hadn't had to become a soldier to get an education.
But OK, you're probably right. Also in saying the orange doesn't care about things like that.
The funds go into the account your son designated.

When big wealth calls pivoting to poverty interesting it’s a bit ugly.
Yes, Even if it’s Kentucky.
It seems the poster questions the root of Cubans interest more than the structure of their comment.
When a doctor shows interest in how much blood you’ve lost it’s legit. Not so much if a millionaire does.
Now if he showed the slightest lean toward offering business start up programs in those areas, I’m all ears.
But the interest alone is ghoulish.

Also, it doesn't account for small grants. A family member of mine directs a mental health facility that
The DOE that protects him and sends GA those funds..🤦♀️
Removing one necessary social service is a slippery slope.

If politicians are compromised they shouldn't be making any 'political decisions' until they're no longer compromised.
Pretty sure there's a law for that.
Just sayin' it again
But the rest of GOP, if we ignore the clown, shouldn’t they care?
This is getting scary real quick.
< sigh >
THIS IS WHAT THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES SHOULD SAY TO TRUMP, MUSKRAT, AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. YOU TOUCH OUR SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE BENEFITS! YOU WILL GET YOUR FUCKING HEAD BLOWN OFF!!!!!!!
“Just Saying”
However, I don’t believe for a second that the gravy seals are coming to save America. It’s all bluster. If they tried they’d just fuck it up anyway. Best focus on upcoming special elections and tossing wrenches in the works.
Even a peaceful protest will be enough for him to huff and puff.
I’m calling and emailing my Senators and congresswoman MTG (ugh) but I fear this isn’t enough.
We have to find the language and words they’ll hear.

Necessity causes folks to do what they need to survive. Trump told everyone what he was going to do. The Dems showed Project 2025.
1980 top Corp tax rate 46%( and tax deductions were to incentivize them to take care of their employees)-
Today 21% - soon to be 15%.. Don’t have it do for their employees now that they cut those taxes unless they want to pay zero 🤔
We are the folk that won't be just hurt WE. WILL. DIE.
Already my insulin is on hold while my doctor tries to get coverage.
We are the front line.
So we need everyone to speak up.
Giving up is not an option.
Does anyone else think the ⚽ (Dodge-ball) group added a spigot plug to the Treasury platform that gives Trump a way to turn on/off funds by congressional district?
Looking forward to your substack.
Also this, again, focused on the NIH cuts: https://jamessmurphy.com/2025/02/09/the-impact-of-an-nih-15-indirect-cost-rate/
Haven't seen anything on a local level dealing with payments beyond NIH cuts.
California will sue
Heartbroken for PA. Really heartbroken.
research gets quite a bit of federal funding through nih and nsf and others. without this they will have to cut back or abandon research

This Administration will give you plenty of material for a psych thesis.
Good luck!
Trust me, I wish I could study abroad as I am sick of having to deal with this administration again. Plus, I am person with a disability and low funds…making it hard to move 😅.
However, you are correct, this administration does give good material for a psych thesis
What is also awful is Musk revealing that for each budget cut he initiates, he gets paid "a little". Calling it a "win,win".
Blue states.

Can you point me to where it says PA, AZ, Fl, and GA have been hit?
They will bend themselves into a mental pretzel to justify his actions.
“At least he’s hurting the libs more.”
How many Chiefs players bet the Eagles would win the superbowl??
And less than 33 percent voted GOP or MAGA.
Most traditional GOP voted for the democrats...

I honestly thought we were clear and was approving all payments regardless of date. Oh well… hopefully I don’t get fired lol

Yes, especially in the swing states interesting whose being affected by the individual economics of this blunt-edge of the cleaver approach
I can’t believe when the dust settles maga/trump voters will not be as affected as all the other “enemies within”
Good metric to watch
Flemming v. Nestor established that individuals do not have accrued property rights in their Social Security benefits but I'm forced to pay into it?
least put my concerns and solution before their politics. Awful experience.
He posts slightly provocative questions for a reason.

You are on SSI. The government gives you a raise. Then the government turns right.arount and reduced your snap significantly. I seen It happen every year. That needs to stop. That is what Trump will do. Watch both sides. Not just one side.

I don’t think they understood if Medicare gets privatized there goes the protection for those with preexisting conditions. So let’s see how many diabetic republicans can afford their co pays, premiums script prices.
I’m 71, retired, still ambulatory

My son (17), who has autism & an intellectual disability, DID get his SSI this month, & I think his CHIP & Medicaid are still active, but I'm bracing myself for the worst. I need to find a new adult ID Svcs provider bc the agency that approved him is closing & his TCM will lose his job in 3 mos.
