The answer shld be: “You’ll be fine bc Congress will pass emergency measures to get you through this.” And if they don’t, then we have to throw their worthless a**es out of office bc we’re now in the no f. around zone, even by the low standards applied to politicians.

“Shrink government.” Funny how that’s never abt obscenely bloated military budget or subsidies/tax benefits to uber rich. Instead, it’s cutting food aid & denying medical/dental care to poor, beggaring public schools, cutting school arts & athletic programs, shredding safety net.

The Trump administration will withhold $200 million in relief aid for Palestinian civilians in occupied Gaza/ the West Bank, severing a vital humanitarian lifeline.
