Trump and his advisors are high on their own supply after getting away with so much in their first week. But they are going to regret this one. It’ll devastate red states that rely on this money for basic programs that keep people fed, clothed, alive. A huge unforced error politically and legally.
Trump is attempting to unilaterally freeze trillions of dollars in federal spending that’s been duly appropriated by Congress. This is completely insane and illegal. He’s seizing unlawful control over the constitutional spending power? Five alarm fire www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion
The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

In 2020, I asked why so many Republicans had abandoned the values they had previously held. Still relevant.

They keep saying "BUT LAFD GOT A RAISE IN NOVEMBER!"
If these fires happened in August or October, would these same City officials then admit that LAFD's budget got cut in July where 61 civilian support positions were eliminated and sworn payroll and expenses were reduced?

Re: LAFD Budget
Seeing City officials in the press ignore the severe impacts of these budget cuts, especially the ones covering for their poor budget decisions to cut a majority of departments' budgets & even AFTER Chief Crowley told them about the impacts these cuts have had, is DISGRACEFUL.

Melania's life isn't that exciting. She was a girl with dreams of modeling who ended up moonlighting in prostitution and got shopped to a john, married for his money, had his baby while he was cheating on her with a porn star, blah blah blah.

The solar panels Jimmy Carter put on the White House roof (and Ronald Reagan took down) were nothing like the ones available now. Not that energy technology alone matters; values, goals, justice, the protection of nature, and the recognition of interconnection all matter.

Rest in peace, Jimmy Carter. Thank you for being one of the remarkable people who demonstrated that what's often thought of as time for retirement is when some among us reach their prime. Thank you for your feminism, your advocacy for Palestinians, your hands-on Habitat for Humanity work....

This might seem like a subtle difference, but it's an important one: you can wish harm to your opponents, or you can wish they cease to be able to harm. I like to think a lot of what I hope for is the latter if I cheer chaos and setbacks and scandals.
