The Trump administration this week ordered a review of federal funding for 14 Democratic states and Washington DC, the latest step in Trump's effort to target states that do not cooperate with him or support his policies.


  • The House of Representatives narrowly rejected a Democratic-backed resolution that would have prevented Donald Trump from sending US military forces to Venezuela.
  • The House passed funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) by a narrow margin amid Democratic and popular uproar over Donald Trump's aggressive immigration enforcement agenda.
    US Congress Useless

    OMB Memo: Review Wash DC and Blue States for De-Funding

    "All federal agencies except the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense have been charged with responding to the request.

    The memo states that this was a "data-gathering exercise" and "does not involve withholding funds, and therefore does not violate any court order.

    California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Washington, as well as Washington DC, were targeted by the order.

    All of the states, except for Vermont, have a Democratic governor.

    In a Michigan speech in mid-January, Dummkopf Trumpf brayed about his plans to suspend federal funding for sanctuary cities and states.

    Trumpf has already repeatedly and nastily targeted blue states' federal funding since seizing power on 20 Jan 2025.

    The diabolical Trumpf junta went after states that voted for former VPOTUS Kamala Harris in the 2024 election in a wave of funding cuts as punishment for the government shutdown last October. And in January, the junta hit five blue states with a $10 billion cut to childcare and social services funding, lying to the American people by citing alleged fraud concerns. HHS recently slashed $2bn in funding for substance abuse and mental health counseling."

    Without doubt, Dummkopf Trumpf is just a petty, soulless, and terrible human being. Period.

    Some perspectives on Israel and the Gaza Strip:

    Nuclear-armed, wealthy Israel, which offers world class universal healthcare for all its residents (completely opposite of the US), is approximately the same size as New Jersey; the impoverished Gaza Strip is roughly the same size as Philadelphia PA.

    In two years, three months, and 14 days (from 7 Oct 2023 to today), the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) killed 71,562 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

    That means the IDF liquidated more than the equivalent of the entire population of Greenland (55,793 people).

    In Europe's first case of genocide since WWII, from April 1992 to Dec 1995, the Republika Srpska (RS) paramilitary units using small arms fire and artillery, liquidated 25,609 - 33,071 Bosniaks and Croats, including 8,372 human beings slaughtered at Srebrenica; approximately 42,106 total genocidal deaths.

    These figures do not include Bosnian military casualties (62,626 KIA).

    Moreover, 30,000 to 50,000 Bosnian women were raped and 1,000,000 Bosniaks, Croats, and other non-Serbs were expelled from Bosnia-Hercegovina.

    So, it took approximately three years and eight months for the Bosnian Serbs to exterminate 42,106 Muslims. The IDF killed almost twice as many Muslims in far less time: 71,562 in two years, three months, and 14 days.

    I hope the Israeli religious Settlers, real estate developers, Bezalel Smotrich, Itamar Ben-Gvir, Benjamin Netanyahu, Dummkopf Trumpf, AIPAC, Dr Sabo Amos, Miriam Adelson, Larry Ellison, Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, the hardworking American taxpayer, and the Board of Peace are all happy with themselves.
