Devoted partner, Democrat, dog mom. Retired from publishing/marketing; enjoying time outdoors, traveling, gardening, crafting, taking classes, watching TV/movies & reading. Wondering what the Founding Fathers would think of this mess.

"We call on the world to stop the injustice & stop the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people," says Oscar winner Basel Adra to applause from the audience. 'No Other Land' just won the Best Documentary Oscar.
Also a fantastic speech from fellow winner Yuval Abraham on "ethnic supremacy".

In a blatantly unconstitutional power grab, Trump is freezing funding for life-saving programs like Medicaid, food and housing assistance, childcare grants, and school meals — even though that funding was already approved by Congress.
Trump Orders Freeze On All Federal Grants And Loans
Democrats warned that Trump’s latest order could harm programs used by millions of Americans, including early childhood programs, and food and rent assistance.

Everything is extremely chaotic but the best info we have so far suggests that Trump’s “stop funding” EO would cover:
Medicaid
ESSA funds
IDEA
Snap
School meals
WIC
Head start grants
Child care block grants
Pell grants
Student loans
Higher Ed grants
Housing vouchers
CTE
Devastating beyond words.

Last week it got down to -35° in International Falls. Yet Donald Trump appears to have just halted the bipartisan program that keeps folks’ heat on through the winter.
LIHEAP isn’t the *woke agenda.* It’s life or death for many Minnesotans.

80% of funding from the IRA goes to GOP districts—this is just one example. Congress passed this funding. It’s not Trump’s to stop on a whim. This is a violation of the law and basic decency. He will put people out of work & stop programs that help pay their bills. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...
Trump administration orders sweeping freeze of federal aid

Congress approved these investments and they are not optional, they are the law.
These grants help communities in red states and blue states and support families, help parents raise kids, and lead to stronger communities.

No number of pardons or lies will change what happened on January 6. Donald Trump can’t change history. It was domestic terrorism, it was treason, plain and simple.

You may think firing federal employees is a DC problem but the person who delivers your mail is a federal employee. 85% of federal employees live outside the DC metro. In many places, they are around 10% or more of the local workforce. #giftlink

See where federal workers live in the U.S.
As a government shutdown looms, see where U.S. federal employees live. Only 15 percent of the 2.19 million federal employees work in the Washington metro area.
