Trump Freezes All Federal Grants and Loans

[donquixote99]

This one will harm or kill people by cutting off health care. It will disrupt livelihoods and throw families into bankruptcy. It is heedlessly destructive. It is unconstitutional. If it stands, it will be the most destructive thing to happen in America since the 1861 Civil War.

"Federal judge blocks Trump federal spending freeze after a day of chaos
Medicaid, education and housing funds were all interrupted Tuesday — even though the White House said its order was meant to be limited

A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump from imposing a sweeping pause on federal spending, after the new White House policy caused significant disruptions to programs that fund schools, provide housing and ensure low-income Americans have access to healthcare.

The court prevented the restrictions from taking effect at least until Feb. 3, allowing a coalition of public-health advocates, nonprofits and businesses — represented by the left-leaning group Democracy Forward — to proceed with their case challenging the constitutionality of the Trump administration’s actions."

I am so glad I am retired. If I was still working my job would be in jeopardy with this decision by Trump. I feel for those impacted by Trumps stupidity.

Speaking of unrest, some guy was arrested at the Capitol bldg. in DC with two Molotov? cocktails made out of Absolut vodka today. He wanted to attack Hegseth and Mike Johnson. AFAIK, a viable Molotov cocktail is fueled by something like gasoline, regular vodka at 86 proof (43% alcohol) won't cut it.

smh. This shit isn't acceptable no matter which side you're on, damn it.

Edit - Publicity stunt?
"Ryan Michael English approached Capitol Police officers outside the Capitol that afternoon stating “I’d like to turn myself in,” according to a police affidavit supporting the criminal complaint."

Maybe downing a bottle of that fine beverage affected enough of his decision making ability which led to this? When you drink enough all sorts of nuttery seems like a good idea.

Of course Maggers will attribute what tRump (heretofore referred to as the felon or simply felon) tried to pull off as MSM lies because their dear leader wouldn't screw them over would he? Assurredly he'll try it again and if it wasn't for the pain and misery it would cause us all his MAGA worshippers need to learn a lesson and pain is an excellent teacher.
