How Trump’s illegal shutdown screws veterans, seniors, and kids - Dailykos

Donald Trump's illegal Monday night order to freeze the disbursement of all congressionally appropriated federal funds will have sweeping negative consequences for millions of Americans, including unhoused veterans, seniors, and children.

Trump’s Office of Management and Budget, which is basically the human resources of the federal government, issued a memo Monday saying that all federal agencies, “must temporarily pause all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance, and other relevant agency activities that may be implicated by the executive orders, including, but not limited to, financial assistance for foreign aid, nongovernmental organizations, DEI, woke gender ideology, and the green new deal.”

Reports about the negative impacts of Trump’s funding freeze came fast and furious on Monday, showing that the blanket pause on spending—which is illegal under the Impoundment Control Act of 1974—will not only hurt the most vulnerable, but it could also impede law enforcement operations.

Sen. Brian Schatz, Democrat of Hawaii, said on Bluesky that states are reporting that they are unable to access portals to Medicaid, which provides health care to more than 79 million low-income people across the United States.

HEY! Is America getting "great again' yet??

1. There seems to be a pattern.

Homeless Vets, children, older people.
People on disability or Medicaid.

The billionaires see these people as useless eaters.
These people cannot make the billionaires richer.

2. That's not the only pattern. Anyone else notice

4. Exactly.

100% certain that the rich are keeping their pool boys, nannies, maids, cooks, etc.
And the corporations are keeping immigrants who make them a great deal of money.

And blue states will get hit hard, red states a few showy deportations.
They get to keep cheap labor.
