I’m very concerned about HHS and the impending cuts to programs for needy families, early childhood programs such as Headstart and universal pre-k, as well as all foster care. These kids have such a hard life from the start. Without safe abortion rights, I fear more kids will be in foster care, which happens when parents severely neglect or abuse their kids. It’s a horrible path ahead, but especially for these kids. I’m going to write a letter to RFK Jr. not that he’ll listen, but it’s all I can think to do. I suggest we all also write to OCFS in every state. States will need to fund these programs. 🤬🤯🙏
Yes. contact your legislators and share your concerns with them. I am very worried about the school lunch programs, via USDA
Trump is NOT a good businessman most of his businesses end in bankruptcy. We need to stop the corruption, it’s awful to watch innocent people being taken by ICE. Meanwhile the regime keeps screwing Americans over
Thank you Heather
We’ve had ICE doing similar things in New Bedford MA too. It’s terrible. 😞 they just think they can do anything. They don’t need to follow the law!!
Heather, you state the market dropped 50%, but I think you meant 5%. Said with all deep respect.
jnybrd, the written Letter states 5.5%. Heather, we so appreciate you!
yes
Stay strong...this has to be wearing. Your words help us all✌️♥️
We appreciate you so much. Thank you for keeping us in reality.
Heather thank you for your gift of dedicated research to verify the facts and educate and enlighten us, your fellow Americans. By understanding the facts, and historical perspectives and the behind the scene nefarious intent of the unconstitutional acting Executive branch we can shore up to protect ourselves and our fellow citizens. Author Doris Kearns Goodwin has always helped me with critical thinking aligned with historical insights. God bless you for your good work on behalf of us all!
Thanks as always Heather. As a Maryland resident, I am both outraged and brokenhearted that our legal resident Kilmar Abrego Garcia was kidnapped and disappeared without due process. If the US government can do this to an innocent person, they can do this to anyone. According to the press, families say other men being held at this prison are also innocent. Meanwhile, Trump acts like a king at Mar a La Go Go, using the government as a grift and the press and Americans treats it like another day in America. Hello autocracy.
And we, the taxpayers, pay for EACH 7 EVERY trip he takes from DC. Should be like school- you have to be on-site , do your homework or get suspended!
"Congress said, 'you can not do it' and you did it anyhow."
I see a very distinctive pattern which started with his inauguration.
I wish Warren Buffet would sue him for defamation and falsehoods.
"Only the weak will fail!", can the prophet be seeing his own emanate failure?
The scum ball who is the president of the U.S. must be removed from office a.s.a.p. He is ruining our country.
Sue ?? Hell, I wish Warren Buffet would become the POTUS !!
I'll bet Trump is just messing with the Market, and our money and lives; it's all just a game for him. And why? Because he CAN. He cares about NOTHING but himself and his billionaire friends.
Contact your legislators, go to the protests, and do whatever you can to stop, or at least slow down, Trump and friends.
