  2. This also highlights the cruelty of Nebraska’s implementation of work requirements before the Jan 1, 2027 deadline.

    Especially because an interim rule from the #HHS Secretary #RFKJr is not even due until June 1.

  3. An oxymoron from an actual moron

    #Trump vowed on Thanksgiving to “permanently pause” #immigration from poorer nations in a blistering late-night, #AntiImmigrant screed posted to social media.

    The extended rant came in the wake of the Wednesday shooting of two National Guard members who were deployed to patrol Washington, D.C. under Trump’s orders, one of whom died….

  4. US District Judge John J. McConnell Jr. had given #Trump’s admin until Friday to make the #SNAP payments. But Trump’s admin instead asked the appeals #court to suspend any #CourtOrders requiring it to spend more money than is available in a contingency fund.

  5. “An accountability center is #involuntary, OK — you’re not coming in & out,” Randy Shumway, chairman of the state #Homeless Services Board, said in an interview. #Utah will end a harmful “culture of permissiveness,” he said, & guide homeless people “towards human thriving.”
    [sure, Jan.]

  6. With outdoor sleeping banned, removal to the edge of town may become the only way some #homeless Utahns can avoid #jail. Planners say the facility will also hold hundreds of mentally ill homeless people under #CourtOrdered civil commitment & the effort will include an “accountability center” for those with addictions.

  7. Two months after pushing through #Congress the largest #FoodStamp cuts in the program’s history, the #Trump admin has canceled the government’s annual report measuring household #FoodInsecurity.

    The move by the #Agriculture Dept strips the #government of its main gauge of Americans’ ability to access adequate meals, & will impede researchers’ efforts to track the coming #cuts in #nutritional #aid.

  27. Among #PublicHealth experts, #VFC, as it’s commonly known, is widely seen as an unmitigated success. After the program was created in 1994, “#disease went down, & life was a lot simpler for the #families,” Anne Schuchat, a former top #CDC official, said. Roughly half of American children are eligible to receive #vaccines through VFC.

  28. As far as sticker price goes, the recommended #vaccines for #kids in the #UnitedStates do not come cheap. The #hepatitisB shot, given within the first hours of life, can be purchased for ~$30. The #rotavirus vaccine costs $102 to $147 a dose. A full course of the vaccine that protects against #pneumonia & #meningitis runs about $1,000.

  29. …The White House also plans to dismantle a key office in the #housing agency that helps communities recover from deadly #NaturalDisasters, a move that could slow much-needed #emergency #aid. Separately, #Trump issued an #ExecutiveOrder last month eliminating a decades-old, government wide commission meant to coordinate the federal response to #homelessness.

  30. …The expected cuts to #RentalAssistance reflect #Trump’s broader desire to *shrink the footprint of government & its reach into Americans’ lives* [more like kill the #poor, party with the #rich, eradicate the middle], a project that includes sharp #cuts to federal #antipoverty programs viewed as *too generous or wasteful*.

  31. #Project2025’s #RussVought, #Trump’s director of the Office of Management & Budget [#OMB], previously endorsed an end to the federal #voucher program. He [falsely] wrote in 2022 that the #Section8 program in particular “brings with it crime, decreased property values, & results in dependency & subsidized irresponsibility.”

  32. Federal #voucher programs currently provide assistance to ~2.3M #LowIncome #families, acc/to the govt’s estimates, who enroll through their local public-#housing authorities. The #aid is part of a broader universe of #RentalAssistance programs that are set to exceed $54B this fiscal year. But the annual demand for these subsidies is far greater than available funds, creating a sizable wait list as rents are rising nationally.

  33. …the expected overhaul would most likely amount to more than just a technical change, resulting in fewer federal dollars for #LowIncome #families on top of additional cuts planned for the rest of the Dept of #Housing & Urban Development [#HUD]. On Thurs, the #Trump admin took the first steps toward potentially selling the agency’s HQ in Washington.

  34. Admin ofcls recently discussed cutting or canceling out the #vouchers & other #RentalAssistance programs & potentially replacing them with a more *limited* system of #housing grants, perhaps sent to states, acc/to 3 people familiar with the matter…. The overhaul would be included in #Trump’s new #budget, which is expected to be sent to #Congress in the coming weeks.

  35. The potential changes primarily concern federal #housing #vouchers, including those more commonly known as #Section8. The aid generally helps the poorest tenants cover the monthly costs of apartments, town homes & single-family residences.
