Serious props to Marisa here who had this before anyone else I think.
NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs.

Per copy of memo: "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."

Why hasn’t there been a poll on the “fuck around and find out” vote wherein we quantify the dopamine seeking electorate who voted for Trump just to see what would happen? Given his pop vote # vs approval ratings at inauguration it’s a valid non zero quantity. #trump #politics #polling #mentalhealth

May this current necessity not become the new norm. May we not always live in fear of the future. And while we must, may we do so with the foresight needed to care for all while highlighting the best of us.
