White House Budget Office Orders Pause in All Federal Loans and Grants

The full extent of the order was not immediately clear, but the directive sent to government agencies on Monday threatened to paralyze a vast swath of federal programs.

The White House budget office has ordered a pause in grants, loans and other federal financial assistance, according to a memo sent to government agencies on Monday, potentially paralyzing a vast swath of programs and sowing confusion and alarm among the array of groups that depend on them.

The directive threatened to upend funds that course throughout the American economy: Hundreds of billions of dollars in grants to state, local and tribal governments. Disaster relief aid. Education and transportation funding. Loans to small businesses.

But the two-page memo from Matthew J. Vaeth, the acting director of the Office of Management and Budget, left the scope of the pause, and much else, unclear.

Among the uncertainties was whether President Trump has the authority to unilaterally halt funds allocated by Congress. Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Democratic leader in the Senate, said in a statement that the memo “blatantly disobeys the law.”

“Congress approved these investments and they are not optional, they are the law,” Mr. Schumer said, adding that “Donald Trump must direct his administration to reverse course immediately and the taxpayers’ money should be distributed to the people.”
 
Holy shit, it just keeps getting worse. Not by the day, but by the hour.

Every time I check a news site, one more horrible directive straight from Project 2025 has been instituted.

This country is going to be fundamentally changed for the worse over the next four years, and I'm not sure how long it's going to take to recover, or if it's even possible.

As I’ve been saying (and lots of other people too) if this is allowed to continue, this country will be unrecognizable in four years. It will take decades to recover from this mess. We (I’m 43) will likely not be around to see the other side.

Our democracy is dead.

And yet we continue to have posters here vigorously arguing that none of this is that bad, and that we'll get through his second term just fine. But we're already conducting diplomacy via social media threats and freezing apparently every federal government program for "reviews" that might never happen, thus leaving them permanently defunded, which is likely the goal. Or, Project 2025 is being implemented before our very eyes - and yet some here refuse to see it.

Yes, but with everything else he is doing to collapse the economy, you trust a weakened FDIC to be able to respond? Also technically the FDIC is independent, they are just capitulating ahead of time.

Warren insinuated the FDIC owed us an explanation. They're just following orders.

Edit to say, hell no. I don't trust any of this shit.

Caroline Kennedy warns senators of ‘predator’ RFK Jr. in searing letter​

The former ambassador urged senators to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination, questioning his ethics and views on vaccines.


“
Caroline Kennedy warned senators Tuesday about Robert F. Kennedy Jr., calling her cousin — now President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services — a “predator” whose victims have ranged from family members to the parents of sick children.

In a copy of a letter obtained by The Washington Post and sent to lawmakers ahead of Kennedy’s confirmation hearings to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, the former ambassador to Australia and Japan alleges that her cousin, “addicted to attention and power,” has given hypocritical advice by discouraging parents from vaccinating their children while vaccinating his own children. She alleged that his “crusade against vaccination” has also served to enrich him.

“I have known Bobby my whole life; we grew up together,” Caroline Kennedy wrote. “It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because he himself is a predator.”

… Caroline Kennedy goes on to claim in her letter that through “the strength of his personality,” other family members followed Kennedy “down the path of drug addiction.”

“His basement, his garage, his dorm room were the centers of the action where drugs were available, and he enjoyed showing off how he put baby chickens and mice in the blender to feed his hawks. It was often a perverse scene of despair and violence.”
She commended Kennedy for “pulling himself out of illness and disease” but lamented the “siblings and cousins who Bobby encouraged down the path of substance abuse suffered addiction, illness, and death while Bobby has gone on to misrepresent, lie, and cheat his way through life.” …”
