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

I'm not dependant on any of those programs but know what? I'm not rich enough to give much help to those who are.

That's a very long list of worthy services. I wonder how many of those who voted for him will be affected by these cutbacks.
