Morphine Prince 109,712 Posted January 28, 2025 Share Posted January 28, 2025 President Donald Trump’s budget office Monday ordered a total freeze on “all federal financial assistance” that could be targeted under his previous executive orders pausing funding for a wide range of priorities — from domestic infrastructure and energy projects to diversity-related programs and foreign aid. In a two-page memo obtained by POLITICO, the Office of Management and Budget announced all federal agencies would be forced to suspend payments — with the exception of Social Security and Medicare. “The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve,” according to the memo, which three people authenticated. The new order could affect billions of dollars in grants to state and local governments while causing disruptions to programs that benefit many households. There was also widespread confusion over how the memo would be implemented and whether it would face legal challenges.

Jill 31,812 Posted January 28, 2025 Share Posted January 28, 2025 This is almost exactly what Milei did in Argentina. I suggest people learn from that experience because it won't be easy for us Americans. Former First Lady of the United States. Now card-carrying member of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

littlepotter 76,616 Posted January 28, 2025 Share Posted January 28, 2025 So my question is how is Trump able to easily and single-handedly undo all of these things so fast and so intensely? Did Biden do as much but we just didn't hear about it? chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of these things will be challenged in court. Biden took many important measures but they weren’t sexy enough for the media. A lot was challenged in court as well.

Emvee 8,845 Posted January 28, 2025 Share Posted January 28, 2025 These moves get more and more unhinged that I’m starting to think they actually have no plans in having another election. It could be anything. They could be placing their bets on martial law in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmixSunshine 76 Posted January 29, 2025 Share Posted January 29, 2025 Don't fall for it. He is just creating more chaos and attention in hopes of people rioting so that he can declare Martial Law. This man will become more unhinged just to posses more power. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there literally nothing we can do to stop all this nonsense There is a 'next phase' with this stuff, and that is that a lot of it will be challenged in the courts. It remains to be seen what the courts will do, and in cases where the courts rule that Trump's orders are illegal it remains to be seen what Trump will do. So no, not doomed at this point, it remains to be seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t believe people voted for this guy. Kamala would have been such a better option it’s insane. Chromatica Forever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
