Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

It keeps getting worse, but it's not like it was unexpected. This is exactly what they said they would do, and people voted for them, because eggs or whatever.
If anything they only surprises so far have been positive ones (like Ukraine).
I honestly didn’t expect this one. They didn’t do anything like this last time and this is highly illegal. Hoping the courts stop this because it’s going to hurt thousands of people if not more if it goes through.
all federal agencies would be forced to suspend payments — with the exception of Social Security and Medicare.
No, go ahead. All is all. Not like those programs will exist when I retire. Geriatric still wants what benefits his generation, damn everyone else.
Oh yeah, and congress controls the federal budget, not the president. It is congress's responsibility. So, you know, feel free to get off your arses senators and representatives, when you get a chance.
This includes WIC. For those who don't know, it is a program that provides food for mothers and infants in impoverished families.
The "poor babies" crowd is about to kill a whole lot of babies. Very pro-life.
The linked memo states
except for assistance received directly by individuals.
I don't know what this means. Nobody knows what this means. I work in a federal agency. The instructions coming down are vague and even self-conflicting but threaten severe consequences if not exactly followed.
Same with everything else. Like no one actually knows how to follow the new RTO mandate, or what it even means in relation to existing contracts, etc.
Sorry Texas and Florida...you shouldn't have been hanging out with California, NY, and Pennsylvania.
“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,” according to the memo...
Jesus Christ it's just scary word salad with these people. I guess it always has been, but God damn it's so infuriating.
Very cool that contracts are very important and I must pay back my crippling student loans. We can't just stop money with a magic wand.
Oh but the government can just stop giving out money to people it already owes. Hope those mothers and babies in need won't starve.
