Reading through it, I felt physically ill by the complete understanding of the caliber of people that the current U.S. government threw out because of bigotry and malice.
It is disgraceful. And the net result is that every single person in the U.S. has lost their investment in public health.

When Margaret Atwood graduated from the University of Toronto in 1961, she says Canadian writers were encouraged to leave the country to build their careers. But she stayed and helped create the country’s now-thriving literary institutions. cbsn.ws/49grZWF

There's money available to feed poor people. The Trump regime has deleted that fact from a government website, but it's still a fact.
Donald Trump deleted this from the government website.
Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

The latest one involves whether the "Register of Copyrights," appointed by the Librarian of Congress, is in the executive branch (and can therefore be removed w/o cause by the President).
It'll shortly be posted here:

Monthly health care premiums doubling—or more—may not be "gut-wrenching" to Senators like Ron Johnson. But to most Americans, payments that used to be $772/month becoming $2,400/month is a BIG DEAL.
Ron Johnson: "I don't think this is going to be any kind of gut-wrenching problem if these enhanced subsidies just go away. We'll probably have the weather the lies told by the Democrats. Democrats say all sorts of things that are untrue."

Just saw a video of Bill Maher calling Mamdani a “straight up communist” and I continue to be struck by the depiction of policies associated with the New Deal Order as far-left extremism, which goes along with a refusal to depict Trump’s unprecedented authoritarian actions as far-right extremism.
