So how's that federal funding freeze going to work out for you?

In continuing cruel executive orders from Trump's new administration there is a federal funding freeze in place as of 10 minutes ago (5pm Tuesday). They are trying to block the use of funds that were already allocated and approved by Congress. . . which is illegal. Even Lindsay Graham admitted that on Meet the Press on Sunday so that's saying something.
Among the people/groups affected:
--people with rental assistance/Section 8 housing
--people on Medicare
--people on Meals on Wheels
--people on SNAP
--DEI groups
--NIH grants for research including cancer
--children who receive free/reduced breakfast and lunch at school
--college students who receive federal student loans
--families who use HeadStart
--organizations that have ever been involved in abortion, immigration, or climate change issues
Great job idiots. You elected a cruel person with an evil Project 2025 agenda and it is only going to come back to bite a lot of you in the butt. My downstairs neighbor gets rental assistance, SNAP, and is on Medicaid and she voted for Trump because she just couldn't imagine a woman as president. How many more MAGA cult members are going to be affected? A LOT.
The Medicaid payment portal is already down in all 50 states. That happened this morning even before the 5pm deadline. Some groups sued today and were granted a partial temporary injunction until Monday.
I'm not stressing about it for myself personally because I do not need or use any of those services. So many other Americans do. We tried to warn you about Project 2025 but instead you believed the notorious lying liar. #FAFO
