Congress controls the purse. Why are these idiots ceding their power to Trump? The Courts decide the law. They should also not cede their power to Trump. |
Complete IDIOCY. They should not have to ASK Trump for money that THEY APPROPRIATED AND AUTHORIZED. If he is withholding money, that is an ILLEGAL IMPOUNDMENT. Congress needs to step the F up and start holding Trump accountable. Especially looking at YOU, Republican members. DO YOUR JOBs. |

Trump voter, disabled military veteran, ‘valuable member’ at FEMA fired as part of DOGE cuts
“I voted for Donald Trump. But this is not what I was expecting,” he said. “We didn’t think they were going to take a chainsaw to a silk rug.” https://wtop.com/virginia/2025/02/northern-virginia-family-surprised-by-fema-firings/ |
“I recognize there are a lot of cuts that need to be made, but this is not the one that you think will happen to your family,” she said. Literal definition of leopards eating faces. “I thought they were going to eat someone else’s face.” |
Oh no, a Trump supporter with the USDA from Kansas got fired. The absolute best part of this story, to me, is the other MAGAs telling him that he’s necessary collateral damage. 😂

The man’s wife said they also believed his 13 years of military service in the Navy and Air Force Reserves, with an honorable discharge as an E-4, would have offered him more protection against DOGE cuts. https://wtop.com/virginia/2025/02/northern-virginia-family-surprised-by-fema-firings/ |
Are we supposed to feel bad for him? It’s obvious he thinks he’s special and is looking for special treatment. Good thing he kept himself anonymous or he might never work again with that attitude. |
A lot of MAGA really thought Trump and GOP senators personally cared about them. I mean they are actually calling GOP senators as if there is any possibility they will demand Trump stop acting like a dictator. |
No more special than the thousands of other feds wrongfully terminated. |
It was not wrong. Would you do it to a Biden supporter? Politics should not matter, right? |
Their representatives do care about them. When they receive calls from their constituents, they hear. These people should call their representatives. Their representatives can make changes. The current budget battle is huge and these calls will have an impact. |
Trump got back into office because the evangelicals supported him (a violation of their tax-free status, which has to be non political).
Now their funding has been cut by Musk https://episcopalnewsservice.org/2025/02/04/elca-presiding-bishop-debunks-elon-musks-claims-of-illegal-federal-funding/ |
Lutherans aren’t evangelicals, but I’ll happily accept this development. We can get the crisis pregnancy centers, Catholic hospitals providing substandard maternity care, and the Christian madrassas off the public teat, too. |
