9. I understand from our Office Manager, however, that as of Sunday,
February 2, no funds have been deposited to our bank account. We have checked our accounts multiple times a day since January 29, but no funds have been transmitted. We have received no information or explanation from the Administration for Community Living about the interruption in funds.
10. In short: we have received no federal funds since the OMB Freeze Memo was issued. Our Center had enough money to meet payroll on Friday, January 31, and to cover outstanding bills. But we did not have enough money on hand to cover another two-week pay period at full staffing.
11. Thus, on Friday, January 31, the Board of Directors voted to lay off three of our five employees and drastically reduce services to our customers. This presented a dire situation for our customers, who have immediate needs.
12. For example, on Monday, February 3, we are scheduled to take an
86-year-old woman to dialysis treatments (which we do for her every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). Our agency is her only way to get to these life-sustaining appointments.
NEW: The board president of a small WV nonprofit says they haven't received their HHS funding since the Trump/Musk budget freeze. They had to lay off 3 of 5 employees on Friday. An 86-yr-old woman is counting on them to take her dialysis tomorrow. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If you're in California, both of our Democratic Senators voted to confirm Trump cabinet nominees today. Padilla did issue a state opposing the freeze on spending, while I haven't seen anything from Schiff yet. I just called their offices and urged them to stop acting like it's business as usual.

I only object to Joe Biden pardoning Hunter to the extent that Joe Biden doesn’t pardon people who AREN’T his children, starting with commuting the sentences of everyone on federal death row before Trump starts killing them again in 6 weeks

This Nancy Mace thing is going to be a defining moment for the Democratic Party. Mace is deliberately bullying another person, one of their colleagues. And if House Dems are too chickenshit to defend their own colleague over this open, blatant hate, what the hell is the point of them anymore.

To suggest we should yield even a little to Trump’s odious politics is unacceptable. Even if we did, it would never be enough.
For the @nytimes.com I wrote about how Enough is Enough with the incumbent president and his cabinet of folly and let’s stop coddling Trump voters and be real clear-eyed about what lies ahead. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

It is really something when Sean Duffy, the dumbest human I’ve covered in my nearly 3 decade career, will likely end up being the “best” cabinet member
