Trump suspends all spending on social programs like Medicaid and SNAP.
It’s illegal, but he’s doing it anyway.
White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion

Watch; it’ll turn out that Trump was Putin’s Manchurian Candidate all along.
Well played, Vlad.
As if Elon was actually going to occupy the shitty little broom closet that passes for offices for anyone lower than Chief of Staff, and for that matter needs an office for physical access to influence Trump, who himself spent as little time as possible in the White House in his last term.
As for those who doubted that the Heritage Foundation fucks who drafted Project 2025 would have any real influence over Trump:
The people who are now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management haven’t been scrubbing the metadata on their PDFs, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two have links to the Heritage Foundation and its Project 2025.

Average state depends on federal grants for 36% of their budget. Some states are much higher.

There is somehting about his appearance that just screams demon summoned from netherworld.
I was thinking more Auton, but for sure he is not of this world:

Maybe Batboy
Don’t you malign Bat Boy! Bat Boy has saved countless lives, helped us invade Iraq (both times), has gone to the Moon, and was the true leader of Seal Team Six who X-ringed bin Laden. If only he had a chance, he would have cured cancer! He would certainly never align himself with the MAGA crowd, and would happily put the bite on any of Trump’s lackeys if he were free to do so, although he wouldn’t touch Trump himself because he has standards and hates lice.

Tomorrow morning is going to be a disaster.
And yet, it probably won’t be the worst day this week.

I feel like my last days are coming.
Trump is about to put out an Executive Order for the construction of a US version of Israel’s Iron Dome. It will be interesting to see how this lowers grocery prices.
Defense against…what? The New Jersey ‘drones’? UAPs that actually just turn out to be balloons, camera artifacts, or just lights from perfectly normal airliners flying in a holding pattern waiting to land at JFK? Missile attacks by narcoterrorists from Mexico or ecowarriors from VC? And how much land is it going to protect from a hypothetical threat? Israel is only ~8,020 square miles, which is smaller than all but three US states.
I guess whatever the threat is, Dapper Dan Man is on the case, sure to manage the US$850B Department of Defense budget better than the couple of veteran nonprofits he ‘mismanaged’ into insolvency.
This is the dumbest fucking timeline.

Of all the things that have never happened, this didn’t happen the most.
“The military entered California and turned on the water from the north.” Sure, grandpa, let’s get you to prison.

I wonder how many students will have to withdraw from university thanks to Felon47’s latest nonsensical order. I wonder how many universities will end up bankrupt. I wonder how many people will die thanks to essential research which cannot occur because of lack of funding.
The Revenge Tour has no bounds.
Look, folks. We can all agree that Trump has done a lot since he became President again, and he needs a break. He’s not a sprightly youngster, and I for one would hate to see him have some sort of catastrophic breakdown.
Don’t quite a few non-sprightly post-youngsters keel over while playing golf? It is exertion, to a ripe potato, after all.
