I know there’s a lot of anxiety and confusion around the funding freeze chaos from this week. Here’s a recap of what’s happened and where we stand now🧵⬇️

I'm not breathing a sigh of relief. This chaos and confusion is standard operating procedure under a Trump presidency. Until we learn more, it certainly reads like Trump is plowing ahead with his plans that will crash the economy and make communities suffer.

Hi that was a coup last night in case no one mentioned that to you. The executive branch seized the power of the purse the Constitution gave to Congress, which is a pretty authoritarian / illegal consolidation of powers move. Time to go yell at your reps, the media, etc.

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

Dear @repvalhoyle.bsky.social, we need your leadership urgently. Please stand fiercely against the blatantly illegal "pause" of federal loans and grants. I'm a constituent in Eugene and looking to you to uphold the Constitution.

At the link, an oasis of selected sanities this week: The Promethean power of burnout, secular blessings for the new year, and some excellent resolutions borrowed from some exceptional humans, from Nietzsche to Baldwin

I crocheted a doily. Doilies are cool again, tell everyone. Keep creating stuff, the world needs handmade kindnesses.
