Congress already approved that money per its Constitutional duty. A court may shoot this down, but jeopardizing things like student loan disbursements, day care for poor working parents, reduced school lunches, heating assistance, etc. is just cruel. By all means, conduct a review and then create legislative priorities for your next budget. Cutting off money on the spur of the moment is just evil and will hurt the very people in red states that put you in office.
He’s going full dictator and this just telegraphs his intentions.
I agree that there is a lot of wasteful government spending but this is largely being done to compensate for the tax breaks he’s giving cronies & 1%ers. A peon like you will benefit in no way at all.
Do you realize how much research is supported by federal grants? This is 100% shooting ourselves in the foot and giving our adversaries the upper hand in fields like science, healthcare, and technology.

We are so screwed it’s not even funny. We need Momala more than ever right now. HARRIS PLS RUN 2028!!!
Highway and bridge repairs, airport upgrades, removing asbestos from older school buildings, university research that results in technology advances, housing subsidies for enlisted military in expensive markets, homeless shelters, first responder hiring and training for rural areas, power grid improvements, flood control, agriculture price supports and subsidies, fuel subsidies…
Federal money is essential for our collective way of life. If this stands, we will truly be a Third World nation by Summer.

Who needs a bridge? We are a nation of rugged totally independent individuals. If you need to cross a river, build a raft or carve a canoe. It's not rocket science.

Oh no, how can we live without funding Chinese virus labs and transgender monkey studies!

MATWA = Make America Third World Again
Hopefully federal funding for some of Musk’s ventures will also be affected. Dumb Trumpers don’t see the conflict of interest in Musk having input on the spending that has largely lined his pockets. They’re just happy to bend over and take it up the ass while gleefully yelling, “Thank you sir, may I have another!”
I guess if they feel they’re owning the libs it’s worth it to them even if they’re too dumb to know they’re being used & abused.

When confronted with a list of all the downsides of Daddy's decision, the wild Trumpanzee, incapable of rational argument, flings its poo ("Trans monkeys! China virus labs!") at its aggressor and runs away.
2. Offers to resume funding in exchange for loyalty and direct oversight by party apparatchiks.
3. Promises retribution for any cross words about Dear Leader.
4. Mounts aggressive propaganda campaign about how magnanimous Dear Leader is for restoring the funding.
5. Enjoy your Trump Lunch, driving across the Trump Tollway Bridge, getting a Trump Grant to attend an approved college, sharing all of your breakthroughs with a subsidiary of the Trump Oligarch Consortium, watching your favorite football team playing at the NFL Trump Bowl at Trump Stadium, etc.

Yes, they say to make a poor man happy, you make him lose his donkey, and then help him find it again.
The American people elected Donald J. Trump to be President of the United States and gave him a mandate to increase the impact of every federal taxpayer dollar. In Fiscal Year 2024, of the nearly $10 trillion that the Federal Government spent, more than $3 trillion was Federal financial assistance, such as grants and loans. Career and political appointees in the Executive Branch have a duty to align Federal spending and action with the will of the American people as expressed through Presidential priorities. Financial assistance should be dedicated to advancing Administration priorities, focusing taxpayer dollars to advance a stronger and safer America, eliminating the financial burden of inflation for citizens, unleashing American energy and manufacturing, ending “wokeness” and the weaponization of government, promoting efficiency in government, and Making America Healthy Again. The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve.
...
To implement these orders, each agency must complete a comprehensive analysis of all of their Federal financial assistance programs to identify programs, projects, and activities that may be implicated by any of the President’s executive orders. In the interim, to the extent permissible under applicable law, 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.
I don't care that the bridge that carries me over the river to my menial job that I need to survive as a prole is close to catastophic failure and needs a Federal grant to be replaced, probably will not be coming. I don't care about as long as the libs are owned!
I don't care that the government funding needed for cancer research that could have saved my parents and could possibly save one of my children some day, will probably be cut. I don't care as long as the libs are owned.
In short, I don't care that I'm being owned as long as the libs are owned.
This perfectly parallels the lazy generalizations of many of his most ardent supporters. No precision, blanket assumptions. Federal grants bad. Democrats bad. Modern medicine bad. Diversity bad.
I just happened to notice the picture of the subject of my adulation in the OP's post. He looks like my favorite chimpanzee at the zoo. I think I'll look at it while spanking the monkey tonight.
