Donald Trump argued that a GOP budget bill should help only Republican states instead of benefiting Democratic governors.

“We’re going to make a couple of tweaks,” Trump said of his “one big beautiful bill” during a Tuesday trip to Capitol Hill. “I mean, we don’t want to benefit Democrat governors, although I would do that if it made it better, but they don’t know what they’re doing.”

“We want to help all the states, but we have governors that are from the Democrat [sic] party, let’s say New York, Illinois, big ones, and let’s say Gavin ‘Newscum,’ who’s done a horrible job in California.”

    Which is why we should all be joining up with supportive local community groups, like, yesterday. Under this administration, one should best assume that there is no official safety net anymore. The dictator-in-chief can sign an executive order and remove everything on a whim.

    We’re going to be reliant on our neighbors in a way we haven’t seen in generations. Get involved and start making connections now. There are organizations across the country that serve their own communities.

    One quick note - be mindful of how those organizations are funded. If they rely on government funding, that means they’re beholden to the government. To this government. Which can choose to withhold funding or to attach ridiculous strings to it. On the other hand, if they’re completely donation-based by the local community, they can remain faithful to their members’ interests and keep running regardless of which politicians are in charge. Just something to keep in mind.
