Summary

Organizations reliant on federal health funds, including Medicaid, Head Start, and community health centers, report being locked out of the federal payment portal following Trump’s funding freeze.

The White House claims individual assistance programs like Medicaid remain unaffected, but confusion persists as states struggle to access funds.

Legal challenges and warnings of major disruptions, including impacts on Title X health centers, Meals on Wheels, and school lunch programs, are mounting.

Critics call the freeze “reckless” and fear widespread harm to vulnerable populations if it continues.

      It is almost like the Orange Turd does not care about the wellbeing of poor other people.

        I liked the first phrasing better. I agree he’s a narcissistic asshole who truly only gives a shit about himself but he sees the value he can extract from other rich people and happily shovels money and favors at them for some sweet quid pro quo.

        His interactions with poor people range from intentional cruelty to unintentional cruelty because he doesn’t care.

          Totally fair. But omitting that shows he doesn’t really care about the well-being of rich, powerful people, just what he can get from them…
