I think the NIH funding has the opportunity to educate folks on what the government does. It could turn people away from Trump.

On a similar note, several of my MAGA relatives have MS and support MS causes. They just found out that the Natl MS Society lost its government funding for FY2025 and are pissed.

Is there a way to move them? Obviously not saying I told you so?

I can’t believe the stupidity of small businesses and non fed people, they didn’t bother to think that if their clients lose jobs then they lose business, but here we are. I have a couple of relatives in Baltimore who voted for Trump and their business sales are in the dump. I have zero sympathy.

Btw, I am not a Fed but I have 2 brain cells to figure out that pretty much everything in DC is tied to the Federal government.


We were going to do a $150k renovation and I told my MAGA contractor in December we had cold feet because of the tariffs. Sad!


DP.

Same. I was planning to do a 300k addition. Not happening until Trump leaves office. Things are too volatile now. I am thinking of investing the money in another country to spread the increased risk that this one crashes.


I know of a couple of maga builders, I warn people away when folks reach out to the neighborhood for advice.


Same. We did a kitchen renovation past year and one of the builders recommended to me was MAGA. Went to his website. The banner photo was him posing with an AK-47 and flag. Instant nope. Our decision was validated a few days later when I was driving my son to jazz band. He tailgated me in his contractor truck, then angrily passed on a double yellow line and cut me off. It turned out he was also dropping his son at jazz band 🙄

Ever since, I’ve been warning people off him. Why would anyone hire an angry, heavily armed man to come into their house and work on their kitchen?


Wish you'd name him here so we can all be warned. I try very hard not to give my business and my money to MAGA aholes.

Cubans being kicked out.


Cubans have always been a strong and reliable Republican voter bloc in Florida.

So much for that, now that they have been betrayed by MAGA.


I really do love this for them. Silly Cubans thought they were white. Hahahaha.

Well the majority in the USA are white. They just have Spanish surnames. Change Ted Cruz’s surname to Ted Cruise and he is Tom Cruise white uncle from Nebraska. Hispanics come in all races. For all the world to see, Pope Francis is a white man, but in the USA is looked upon as Hispanic


Ted Cruz is not Tom Cruise. For a variety of reasons. White supremacists don't think Cubans are white. They never will. Deal with it or get screwed over by the R's time and time again.


Italian American here. It took decades for the WASPs to accept us swarthy southern Europeans as “whites”, and we’re actually, you know, white.

Good luck, Cubans.


They wouldn't accept the Irish or the Polish back in the day either

A woman who left no tip and a note saying “You suck! I hope Trump deports you!” on the tip line of her restaurant bill has been fired and a gofundme for the waiter has raised $40,000.

Is it bad that I don’t care?


this is just so rich:

To prepare for the workers arrival, including renovating housing on her property to bring it up to code, Carlson has already spent $200,000 of her own money that she was expecting to get reimbursed under her grant’s contract. Without that money in her bank account, she doesn’t expect to have the funds to pay her existing staff to get through the growing season.


Why does she get to renovate her home at the expense of tax payers. I hope the grant is permanently cancelled. This is the abuse and fraud that needs to be addressed.


This would probably be housing for the workers.
Well into the 1970s farms with migrant workers could house the workers in literal shacks with no running water or toilets. Shift to mechanization got a big push when the govt said they had to have bathroom facilities.

You really find out if you're white or not when you see how you're treated by racists.

So, no, not white.


This is the thing I was trying to tell Republicans before the election. Most white Republicans do not consider anyone who identifies as "Hispanic" white, even though they actually are.

A whole lot of people are going to find this out the hard way.

There's no real FafO with the Cubans. Come April, he will have rescinded the part that applies to Cubans. Maybe the whole thing when business owners like the one in Springfield get his ear.

Dude lacks follow through, because he uses this garbage as extortion
