You can’t because this hasn’t happened before. We are talking trillions of dollars.

Wonderful! This is what the American people voted for.

Please cite the last time a new administration paused every federal grant. You said this happens all the time. Give one example.

Not the PP but this is, unfortunately, what American voters seem to want. Maybe if it hits hard enough some of them will realize it wasn’t really what they wanted, but time will tell.

No it’s not. He didn’t win a popular majority; 1.7 million more people voted against him than for him. Only 23% of the population actually cast a ballot for him. His party also has historically narrow majorities in the House and Senate despite structural advantages that should tilt both chambers in Republicans’ favor.

More importantly, he disavowed Project 2025 on the campaign trail because polls showed it was deeply unpopular. But now, he is enacting every policy it laid out and even letting Project 2025 authors draft the implementation memos. He lied. Again. And now the whole country gets to suffer for it.

Choosing not to vote at all is still a choice that tilted the election to Trump. Sorry but I don’t feel bad for those people either.

Most conservatives actually support most of Project 2025, they just said they didn’t because Trump said he didn’t. Everyone was lying, surprise surprise.

Well we can also blame Dems (of which I’m one) for not having a real primary and letting someone clearly not up to the job of campaigning run again. And then way late in the game installing a very unpopular candidate, who couldn’t even make it to the first primary when running in 2020, take over.

Do better, Dems.

I bet you side with the abuser instead of the victim.

DP. As an independent, I agree with that poster.

Independents are just conservatives who can't stand the heat. They want plausible deniability. "You made me do it. Wah!" Babies

Blame me if you want - but it was Democrats who didn't show up to vote for their candidate.

Shoulda picked better.

Exactly- and this is why republicans will continue to have the upper hand in presidential elections. I know you all think were part of a “cult” but there are plenty republicans who don’t particularly like Trump as a person (I preferred Haley) but he was the nominee and what was the alternative, voting for a democrat? lol no. Meanwhile you guys (and some “independents”) are waiting for the second coming of Obama, no one short of perfect will do. Oh well! Your loss.

Literally LOL. All these people tried so hard to fearmonger in the first admin and it’s obviously not working for this one. You played all your cards already libs! But yes please keep telling ppl that hospitals are closing because of there’s been a pause on funding for 12 hours 😂 I’m sure the dumb ones will eventually vote like you want them to!

I can tell from your trolling you’re scared the damage from all this will actually resonate. Thanks for letting us know.

Please, just like govt shutdown nobody will notice except for the washington swamp that feeds off this trough. Maybe some fake spectacle like putting up a caution come to not enter the Washington mall but the public sees through it.

My brother in law was just about to start a job with a non profit
They let him know today they need to see what is up with their grant money now before he actually starts. He lives in Ohio.

Most of these nonprofits are scams or lobbyists, most should go away if they can fund themselves

Meals on wheels providers are a scam?

There are a lot of meal on wheels providers so some of them probably are.

The federal government actually has audits - they check on things. If you knew anything about it, you might know that.

Take a look at foxnews.com right now. It doesn’t mention this at all. If you’re only getting news from one news source and it repeatedly avoids reporting on the big stuff, you don’t believe it.

It’s scary how ill informed or deliberately misinformed a large part of the MAGA population is.

Most Trump voters, just like generation z voters, no longer get their news from traditional sources, to include Fox News. In fact Fox News lost a lot of the MAGA support with their handling of the last election. Keep up.

Of course he just fired all the people who do the audits, including his own appointees.

You said “most of these nonprofits are scams or lobbyists.” Does that mean “most” Meals on Wheels providers are scams? How are you concluding this? Please share the data you relied on.

Did you just say that the U.S. Government does not provide anything to the U.S. (in a sentence listing things the U.S. government gives to U. S. citizens no less)?

However, if this is a prelude to something more nefarious, where the Executive Branch is trying to supersede the Legislative Branch, then we are in for quite the rollercoaster. I’d hope that the courts would step in there.

NGO employee here, specifically OVW and OVC. How are we supposed to draw down money if there's a freeze on the grant?

Exactly. In fact, many of the NGOs and nonprofits were created because the federal government privatized the function in the 80s or 90s. They were wanted as partners to the federal government.

PP here. Answering my own question, you can't. Error messages coming out. And for those who aren't aware, you are required to work on a reimbursement schedule, so you do the work, pay out the costs, and then file for reimbursement, usually monthly or quarterly, depending on your NGO's cash flow. Many small nonprofits have almost zero cash flow, so they submit for reimbursement monthly. We have done this work, and now can't submit for reimbursement.
