it hasn't sunk jn yet that that's how power works now, but over time, it will
Thankfully hurricanes mostly hit red states so they're getting what they voted for.

Turning the presidency into a personalist regime that demands fealty on the reg, maybe isn't as popular as he thought.
Even when executive actions are plainly illegal, as here, judges can beg out on weak-sounding yet important jurisdictional/procedural issues
Trumplandia is objectively pro-human trafficking and anti-violence prevention; they want to see people get hurt. Women in particular.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/it...do/ar-AA1IcI8qA federal judge in Washington, D.C., was crystal clear on how he felt about the DOJ and its Office of Justice Programs' (OJP) "shameful" and "unfair" sweeping move to slash violence prevention and anti-human trafficking grants. But unfortunately for the groups who sued the Trump administration, the judge simultaneously acknowledged amid his lamentations that he was powerless to do anything about it.
A collection of safety-focused nonprofit grantees filed a class action suit against the DOJ and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi in May, claiming that the OJP's April decision to "abruptly and summarily terminat[e] more than 370 multi-year cooperative agreements" and "$820 million in essential funding" ran afoul of the Fifth Amendment of the Cons ution and the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).
The Vera Ins ute of Justice, the Children and Youth Justice Center, Chinese for Affirmative Action (aka Stop AAPI Hate), FORCE Detroit, and Health Resources in Action argued that the "no notice" terminations with "no reasoned explanation" amounted to a "quintessential unlawful agency action" in violation of the APA, one they contended that U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta had the power to stop.
On Monday, Mehta disagreed in rather straightforward fashion that he had any role to play, even as he roundly criticized the administration's stated rationale for the cuts.
The judge said that because the plaintiffs' APA claims against the government "are essentially contractual in nature" those claims "belong" in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, not the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
(between competing policy options, Trumplandia will generally pick the one that hurts the most people)
bye bye, NASA
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/0...tures-00444674At least 2,145 senior-ranking NASA employees are set to leave under a push to shed staff, according to do ents obtained by POLITICO — potentially spelling trouble for White House space policy and depriving the agency of decades of experience.
The 2,145 employees are those in GS-13 to GS-15 positions — senior-level government ranks that are typically reserved for those with specialized skills or management responsibilities. The losses are particularly concentrated at higher levels, with 875 GS-15 employees set to leave, according to the do ents
food safety is for pussies
https://www.reuters.com/business/hea...ts-2025-04-21/The Food and Drug Administration is suspending a quality control program for testing of fluid milk and other dairy products due to reduced capacity in its food safety and nutrition division, according to an internal email seen by Reuters.
The suspension is another disruption to the nation's food safety programs after the termination and departure of 20,000 employees of the Department of Health and Human Services, which includes the FDA, as part of President Donald Trump's effort to shrink the federal workforce.
You s talk about compassion and have zero to speak of. Yall are truly sickening.
Yay capitalism!
What's sickening about it? The states that voted to kill FEMA are the ones who will mostly have to deal with the effects of their vote re: hurricanes. It's what they wanted isn't it?
It's a lack of compassion for the people that probably deserve it.
Trump s have zero compassion for anyone not in their cult.
Tat just wants anyone in his screech radius to die.
How about FEMA during the hurricanes a yr or so ago? I don't remember such vitriol from you then bro; I wonder why that is...
Because FEMA worked then.
Your Republicans blocked disaster funding.
they're still blocking aid to NC and California
Red states hadn't voted to eliminate it at that time. Now they have and they got their wish.
St. Louis waits for aid as FEMA response to Missouri disasters is slowest in 15 years
From 2010 through 2024, it took an average of 16 days to approve federal disaster requests for Missouri. One declaration for Missouri this year took 49 days, another 20, and two are pending....

kw is low information
So why was FEMA's response so piss poor then and why were "whites who voted for Trump" supposed to be passed over?
I don't think you're grasping the big picture here but that's ok because you're a leftist and I don't expect you to grasp a damn thing to begin with.
You'll have to be specific about your "piss-poor" remark.
But you won't.
You can't.
You're a pussy.
Trump thinks throwing paper towels into a crowd of locals is all the aid they need
More than brain dead Biden ever did for anyone while in office his entire ing life.

He's not stumping for Trump, is he? Surely he's not
Yep, played the whatabout card.
Not in the least, simply showing you the mirror you refuse to look into. I know why too.
You seem to be having trouble with red states voting to end FEMA and now getting what they voted for.
