Fully agreed. The billions they’re hoarding is money that should be funding all the things the taxpayers need–the basics like food/shelter/healthcare… Things that countries with much smaller GDPs don’t have nearly as much difficulty figuring out.

I also think it’s worth noting that the states receiving the most SNAP benefits include New York, California, and Texas–it’s very possible Trump is doing this especially because it stands to affect 2 states he’s not entirely thrilled with. Across the country, 42 million people have been relying on the SNAP benefits they were receiving, which average approx $190/mo per person. Where are the billionaires lining up to help these folks in need?

Well, then i guess we might just see another billionaire bailout. This is the stupidest fucking timeline

But at least they can rely on the billionaires to throw them a bone, since they are the ones benefiting most from this arrangement. There was one just the other day that dropped $130 million just to keep the troops out of the red. I don’t know if there are any billionaires with a soft spot for ATCs but i suppose we’ll find out soon enough!

Legality really is a thing of the past, at least for those in power. There’s no accountability for them, no checks to their authority…so they might as well be considered kings/dictators at this point

Won’t a billionaire step in and pay them for the meantime? You know, like Timothy Mellon paid $130 million to keep the troops happy the other day (since the gov refuses to pass a budget without thoroughly fucking over the American public by doubling their healthcare costs)

It’s going as well as you’d expect, too 🫠

Never would have guessed!!!

Is it “Amendment 1” you’re trying to exercise? Why don’t you just tell me the name of the right?

Thank you for your attention to this matter

He’s not dead yet, so i guess it’s ok? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

According to the article, it is due to restructuring that has nothing to do with the spite layoffs being used by the Trump administration to punish Democrats for their unwillingness to support a dramatic 2x increase to healthcare expenses for Americans.

Imagine if they genuinely thought they were reporting the truth and only now it’s occurring to them that they’ve been lied to? 😂

It just adds a little extra sparkle that this is coming from a chick from Hell, lol 😆

From the article:

“I feel sad because, even though we were born here, that doesn’t matter any more,” the cousin said. She added: “To have our skin color has, apparently, become a crime. And it has become a crime deserving of this type of treatment – as if we were real criminals.”

😶

From the article:

In a Friday court filing, the Justice Department said more than 460 Education Department employees had been laid off, cutting roughly a fifth of the agency’s already-hamstrung workforce.

The terminations, which have hit more than half a dozen federal agencies, are part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to pressure congressional Democrats to end the ongoing government shutdown. Nearly 90% of the Education Department is furloughed, too.

Perhaps i misinterpreted what it’s saying and it’s just regular, garden-variety destruction of government by the fascists?

Wow, what convenient timing for the CDC to be abolished! 🫠

I love how these assholes are firing people at unprecedented rates as a way of somehow punishing Democrats. The Ds refusal to let the current admin double everyone’s medical insurance costs means Rs start dismantling the government as punishment? That’s what the Rs want in the first place. They’re doing exactly what they want while blaming the Democrats for all the negative effects, as is tradition

Seeing how they do everything without thinking ahead, like impulsive children–yes, i imagine that’s exactly how it went down

This is the liquidation of the country. Squeezing every last fraction of a penny of value out of the taxpayers and the systems that served us all.

He’s gonna have a meltDEIwn 🙃
