Are you afraid someone will miss the millions of dollars for condoms in Ghana or the millions for DEI programs?

OHHHHHHHH...GAZA!! Didn't know we funded condoms to GHANA. Gaza either, but it is Trump's PC telling this to us, so pretty good chance it's a lie.

Not a fan of this. I don't think presidents have the right to declare funding by executive order for spending not authorized by congress (say, to forgive student loans), and I sure as shit don't think presidents have a right to DENY funding that IS authorized by congress.

Would be very disappointed if the courts didn't put a stop to this. Would have very negative effects on checks and balances.

If the executive can just not fund properly allocated spending from congress, that's a real problem. And congress can, and maybe should, respond by removing funding for Air Force One, White House staff, etc etc.

All you dumbasses that didn't vote or those that did vote for Trump will deserve every bad thing that happens to you.

Being ignorant or lazy, or ignorant AND lazy, has gotten us to this point.

Reap it!

Good question.

I'd think that'd fall under “assistance provided directly to individuals.” Not sure though...

One of the most important questions for approximately 1/3 of our country. And it ain't looking good, as most every State feels Medicaid is paused and/or in chaos right now.

oh i disagree

i think the vagueness is part of the point. make people nervous about things that would, after review, be allowable. its the same strategy seen with a lot of the abortion legislation. make things unclear so doctors are unwilling to go any where near the line (because no one knows where the line actually exists)

i agree. the vagueness is also designed grind things to a halt while it goes through the lawsuit. courts are more likely to not grant a temporary stay if it’s just a freeze in my opinion

Trump is going to send the economy tumbling, then tell everyone outside forces or the previous regime caused it and then rally the base by telling everyone that only he can fix it. In the process, he’ll consolidate power. Everyone loses.

In addition to freezing current and future grant awards, the administration may leverage some older laws on the books to attempt to recover awards already paid out, which of course violates the one truly universal law.
