3. Attack the weak link in the clownipede...

Miller.

[Historic NY]

2. Financial thaw for the moment.

[Arazi]

14. Yup. They'll get Vought over the finish line to OMB

And reinstate the freeze.

Eliminating the Impoundment Act is his number one goal

[madaboutharry]

4. The Whiplash Administration.

In my humble opinion, the tornado of bullshit and chaos will not hold.

I really do believe that the American people do not want to live like this. The American people want to wake up in the morning and find a world similar to the one that existed the day before. I think that little of Trump's 2025 agenda is going to come to fruition and that come the midterms the voters will let it be known they had enough. Then there will be two years of nothing getting done, which is the best we can hope for.

5. A tactic of keeping everybody on edge and controlled. We know, but jerk Drumpf has no

concept of government serving the populace, or of the govern-or being selfless to forget himself for the public good, or of minimizing the obstacles and stress for the denizens. The past ten years of him inflicting himself on everybody is constant stress and trepidation.

9. I think it's just incompetence

They clearly didn't know it was going to block Medicaid was going to be blocked. I think they thought all grants went to what they see as useless science or DEI or critical race theory. The biggest through line of Trump is being dumb in spite of thinking they are smarter than everyone else.

17. "Incompetence" maybe some of his unqualified underlings, but actual evil on his part and

the others.

[Hugin]

10. That's why I call this era the Great Imposition...

We’re being imposed on.

Also, it has the same root as Imposter.

[JCMach1]

6. On to the next atrocity...

While they prepare the Canal Zone invasion...

Which actually isn't about the canal but expedited money laundering via Panama

[JCMach1]

16. Gitmo camps was next... Didn't take 4 hours

[durablend]

7. Now that he knows this matters

He and Heritage are going to go back to the drawing board to make it even worse. As punishment for defiance.

[maveric]

8. He's showing the masses what he is capable of doing.

It’s a threat.

[mwmisses4289]

11. Several someone's got it

through his thick pasty orange skull that this would badly affect his tech bros, billionaire buddies, and himself? Especially himself.

[Jim__]

12. He doesn't know why he signed it in the first place, and now he doesn't know why it's rescinded.

The country can't be run by someone with no idea of what he is doing. We are in deep deep trouble.

[Prairie_Seagull]

13. Keep the pressure on. What's next? nt

15. Trump rescinds funding freeze memo after chaos, confusion

The White House sparked a national controversy when it ordered a freeze on federal grants. Under pressure, Team Trump rescinded its scandalous memo.

Some political observers argue that Donald Trump and his team are simply impervious to pressure. No matter how great the outrage, the argument goes, the president and his Republican operation will ignore criticisms, rewrite history, deliver marching orders, and refuse to back down.

This observation is mistaken. Indeed, several examples have emerged since the president’s second inaugural.

Take, for example, the White House’s budget office ordered a freeze to federal grants, loans and related assistance — money that Congress has already appropriated — effectively trying to shift the power of the purpose to the Trump administration. The OMB memo sparked widespread confusion, chaos and controversy.

And it’s against this backdrop that the White House rescinded the memo on Wednesday.

.....The criticisms are more than fair. White House officials have been planning for this moment for months. They had every opportunity to carefully and deliberately flesh out a policy, prepare for its unveiling, and implement it effectively. Instead, Team Trump issued a terribly written OMB memo, generated chaos and confusion, spent a day pretending it was sound, only to retreat under pressure that officials should've seen coming......

With this in mind, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer issued a celebratory statement — “Americans fought back, and Donald Trump backed off,” the New York Democrat wrote — warning of a second round to the broader fight.

“Though the Trump administration failed in this tactic, it’s no secret that they will try to find another, and when they do, it will again be Senate Democrats there to call it out, fight back, and defend American families,” Schumer concluded.
