OMB freezes all disbursements / USAID shutdown / Govt Funding ordered restored

“… Fifty percent of voters from families with an income of less than $50,000 a year cast their ballots for Trump, according to the data, compared with 48 percent for Vice President Kamala Harris. Four years ago, President Joe Biden carried those voters by 11 percentage points; Hillary Clinton won them by 12 points in 2016 and former president Barack Obama by 22 points in 2012.

… Some longtime Democrats like Mosura said they initially struggled over whether to vote for Trump. They had believed Democrats were the most likely to help the poor and disagreed with Republicans on issues like abortion. But Mosura said she kept coming back to the conclusion that Trump would put Americans like her first and improve her economic prospects.

Mosura said she has been unable to find full-time work in her field and is planning to change her party affiliation to Republican. But she also gets anxious when she hears GOP politicians talk about reducing government spending.

“We helped get you in office; please take care of us,” Mosura said, shifting the conversation as though she were speaking to Trump.

“Please don’t cut the things that help the most vulnerable.” …”

The entire GOP is supporting the POTUS as a king above checks and balances, above the law, above the Constitution. Government by personal fiat and whim.

I don't have kids, but if I did, my efforts would be tenfold. Eliminate them now, no more making excuses for their god king.

I refuse to believe trump is our end. No fucking way!!! Fight.

The Republicans told us there would be no violence as long as Dems don’t squirm too much and force the issue. Democrats for the most part are hoping denying we aren’t headed to the ruination of America. At this point I’m 75% sure America is over. I’m sure Trump will change the name before he is done to Trumerica or the Peoples Repubkic of Trump before it’s all over.

More than half of the Lawrence County Community Action Partnership’s $32 million budget comes from federal aid, said Scott, the organization’s leader. That helps it do things like shuttle low-income residents to medical appointments and offer rental assistance. Federal aid is also key in keeping New Castle’s children fed. About 90 percent of students come from low-income families and qualify for free school lunches, and many are sent home with food to eat over the weekend.
...

Lynne Ryan, chairwoman of the Lawrence County Republican Party, said Democrats lost the support of New Castle residents over their handling of illegal immigration and foreign aid. She said Trump was a skilled politician whom low-income voters found to be honest and relatable.
“Trump won’t cut necessary programs, and nowhere has he said he is cutting any of that,” Ryan said. “He is cutting bloated government. He is not cutting programs that work for the American people.”
City Administrator Chris Frye, a Republican and former mayor of New Castle, said he expects GOP leaders will push for some changes to how federal programs are administered. But Frye urged his party to show “empathy” when it comes to determining the actual benefits that people receive.


“I think it would be stupid to just take something away,” Frye said. “We would have mass chaos. Mass homelessness … so nationally, I don’t think it is going to be a situation where they are taking away from people.”
Detractors worry that New Castle residents will come to regret their votes.
“I have big concerns those who voted for him didn’t realize what they are doing and it’s going to affect their family and friends and probably themselves, too,” said Timothy Buck, chairman of the Lawrence County Democratic Party.

...


Steve Tillia, 59, receives $1,600 a month in Social Security disability payments and $300 in food stamps to support himself and his son. Tillia, who said he is unable to work after suffering from mini strokes, still drives around New Castle with a Trump flag anchored on the bumper of his SUV.
Tillia said he’s confident that Trump and GOP leaders will reduce spending by “cutting the fat” out of government — and not slashing benefits.
“It’s not cutting government programs, it’s cutting the amount of people needed to run a program,” he said. “They are cutting staff, which could actually increase the amount of the programs that we get.”

Me too, I know there is gonna be violence. He will unleash the military after all this administrative destruction. I'm hoping approximately 30%+ of the military use their brains, and go against. He is getting all sycophants at every level. It's why Congress will allow it the next four years. They all want power.

But I do know that reasonable Americans outnumber trumpers. 2025, or maybe 2026 is about to be a whole new world.

I'm guessing it's only a matter of time before Trump and his drunken lap dog Petey form their own version of MAGA SS. I know plenty of "Don't Tread on Me" patriots here in WNC that will line up to give their lives for their MAGA God-King. I could be wrong, but nothing suprises me these days.

"I don't have kids"

Your contribution to mankind is acknowledged.
 
They just took $80M out of the city's bank account. This was almost certainly what those kids were coding into the system.

Everyone associated with this is criminally liable for conspiracy to commit grand larceny. They just reached their hand into someone's bank account and took the money without consent or any legal authority.

There need to be indictments. Tish and Alvin, do your jobs! You again have a chance to be heroes. You can't go after Trump but Musk has no immunity whatsoever.

Elon has virtual immunity via pardons. I doubt he’s worried about legal action, though I agree NY should respond to this.
