Various forms of financial aid is being paused pending review in the US. It's pretty vague but from my understanding, social security and Medicare is safe. Things that could be paused are college aid, SNAP benefits, I think I've even read that WIC could be affected? They did say it's not permanent but I don't think a solid frame is given.

Take what I say with a grain of salt, I have not done my due diligence in researching this. I figured I might share this for any people in the USA who may be reliant on these programs.

It's become embarrassing to live in the US.
This is just one of many stories that gave me whiplash from how quickly things were changing a minute to minute. So sad.

Yep, you're right, all flushed down the drain. Even school lunches for kids, 'cause those brats need to be working to get food. (Not my words, but instead belong to Rich Mckcormick)

Fuck my fucking cuntry. Fuck it.

Yeah I agree. It's scary, and it's only been 9 days since he took office. We have him for another 4 years, and I doubt he'll ever be impeached due to the Republican majority in virtually all branches. I've never been scared like this before of a president.

Yeah I got sick to my stomach hearing that. I am even more disgusted that Rich said that. I looked it up and at the same time, he implied child labor laws were bad.
