I don't know how to phrase this without people becoming angry...BUT.... some of President Trump's freezes will inadvertantly (at least I hope it's inadvertantly) cause some issues with a handicapped children's home at which, I've done some volunteer work.
I can't say I totally understand the implications of what Medicaid freezes will do to the care allotted these children.
However-- this is a bit different than crooked politicians stuffing their pockets with cash to buy another yacht somewhere. These kids are in bad shape. Some worse than others.
By all means cut the gravy train to the Ukraine and the politician's.pockets. But these kids are citizens too -- even though they aren't even aware they are -- so maybe President Trump could take a look at this kind of thing and see to it that they don't get hurt while the real trash is being taken out?
I wish I could plop a jpeg in response, but "any program that provides direct benefits to Americans is explicitly excluded from the pause and exempted from this review process". It goes on to say that Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP will continue without pause.
Yet the Medicaid portal is down. I suspect this is intentional by the "resistance" to make Trump look bad. It doesn't take much to close a website and wreak havoc. Someone is FAFOing.
My wife works for a non-profit that receives USAID money for their overseas initiatives. Everyone was in a panic today in meetings. She just has to shake her head up and down in agreement.
I was just typing all this out when I read your comment. How are people missing this?
You need to go watch the first presser held today by Karoline Leavette...then report back with your concerns.
Karoline Leavette today was asked. Many times. Every time she answered the same way. Anyone in a pipeline receiving funds ill remain. But they asked a similar question to you. So have a more definitive answer tomorrow.
Our disabled daughter is serviced by a company called Mainstay, and they sent the following email to all residents. You can see that this organization is feeding this panic narrative.
To calm my wife, I read her the following news story.
So send a message to DOGE and Trump on Twitter. You know they will take care of them.
