Refugees who had been approved to travel to the United States before a 27 January deadline suspending America’s refugee resettlement program have had their travel plans canceled by the Trump administration.
Thousands of refugees are now stranded at various locations around the globe.
The suspension was in an executive order signed by Donald Trump on Monday. It left open the possibility that people who had undergone the lengthy process to be approved as refugees and permitted to come to the US, and had flights booked before that deadline, might still be able to get in under the wire.
But in an email reviewed Wednesday by the Associated Press, the US agency overseeing refugee processing and arrival told staff and stakeholders that “refugee arrival to the United States have been suspended until further notice”.……

Within his first 48 hours back in office, Trump has signed several executive orders that threaten the healthcare of millions of Americans.
Amid a flurry of executive orders, some of which were signed live on TV on inauguration night, the US president issued several orders that repeal Biden-era directives that had expanded healthcare access and options for lower-income and middle-class Americans.
Those orders are expected to affect the medical insurance coverage for upwards of 20m people in the US.
“The previous administration has embedded deeply unpopular, inflationary, illegal, and radical practices within every agency and office of the Federal Government,” Trump said in the official statement, which referenced several health-related orders.
The statement goes on to accuse diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies of having “corrupted” institutions for Americans.
Those people whose coverage is now deemed at risk are the roughly 24 million Americans who have purchased their health insurance via the Affordable Care Act this year.
The ACA, also known as Obamacare, helped to expand Medicaid benefits and provides affordable health insurance to millions of people.
Trump’s actions this week will affect all aspects of the ACA, including eligibility requirements, federal subsidies and enrollment deadlines, which determine when Americans can apply for insurance, without repealing the act, which would take action from the US Congress.
But the actions are expected to create more barriers and result in healthcare coverage becoming even less accessible.
In a one-page document published by Politico, Trump outlines options for spending cuts. These plans include measures that would reduce the amount of money states have to fund Medicaid and limiting health program eligibility depending on citizenship status. Every option listed involves cutting funding for and access to healthcare coverage.
Some of the Biden-era orders Trump has already repealed include Executive Order 14009, or the Strengthening Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, which broadened access for Americans and their families, allowing more parents with young children to be eligible for more extensive coverage.
Some estimates suggest that this appeal alone could result in a nearly 25% loss of ACA coverage.…….

That’s why I was glad that Biden issued pre-emptive pardons. All of the people that were worried that it would set a bad precedent don’t get that Trump doesn’t care about precedentce. He will issue pre-emptive pardons, and point to Biden, but he was going to do it anyway. He also is proving that he intends on fulfilling his campaign promises that many thought he was kidding about, so he would’ve prosecuted innocent people, as he promised to prosecute the January 6th committee. To those that claim that they were protected since they were doing their duties, I say hogwash. That wouldn’t have stopped him, no more than the constitution stopped him from outlawing birthright citizenship. I believe Biden did the right thing, and should’ve issued more.

During his first days in office, Donald Trumphas threatened the U.S.’s top three trading partners China, Mexico, and China with major tariffs, but the CEO of a top Wall Street bank says people shouldn’t be worried.
“If it’s a little inflationary, but it’s good for national security, so be it. I mean, get over it,” JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon told CNBC on Wednesday from the World Economic Forum in Switzerland. “National security trumps a little bit more inflation.”…..

President Donald Trump on Wednesday floated abolishing the federal agency charged with the response to all kinds of natural disasters and other emergencies across the nation, and leave the task of responding to emergencies up to individual state governments instead.
Speaking to Fox News host Sean Hannity in his first television interview since he was sworn in for his second term on Monday, Trump repeated false claims made during the election by online activists who alleged that the Biden administration did not send federal resources to North Carolina after a pair of hurricanes hit the state last fall.
He blamed the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has been the point agency for federal disaster response since its creation during the Carter administration.
“The Democrats don’t care about North Carolina. What they’ve done with FEMA is so bad. FEMA is a whole other discussion, because all it does is complicate everything,” he insisted. “FEMA has not done their job for the last four years,” said Trump, who added that the agency, which has been part of the Department of Homeland Security since 2003, had been “working really well” before he left office.
“Unless you have certain types of leadership, it really gets in the way,” he said of the federal agency.
Trump told Hannity that FEMA should “be a whole big discussion very shortly,” and said he’d prefer ending the agency’s federal mission and makeindividual states responsible for dealing with natural disasters, terrorist attacks and other matters normally handled by the federal agency.……

President Donald Trump this week revoked an executive order aimed at banning discrimination by federal contractors and subcontractors as part of his sweeping effort to crack down on federal diversity programs.
The White House said in a memo Wednesday that the order signed a day earlier "protects the civil rights of all Americans and expands individual opportunity by terminating radical DEI preferencing in federal contracting and directing federal agencies to relentlessly combat private sector discrimination."
The revoked order had required "affirmative action and prohibits federal contractors from discriminating on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin,” according to a summary by the Department of Labor. It was signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson, a Democrat, and initially covered government employees but was later narrowed to contractors.
Trump's order on Tuesday also revoked executive actions by Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama that sought to further promote diversity and inclusion in hiring across the federal government.
Trump said in his order that the diversity efforts "violate the text and spirit of our longstanding Federal civil-rights laws" and "undermine our national unity, as they deny, discredit, and undermine the traditional American values of hard work, excellence, and individual achievement in favor of an unlawful, corrosive, and pernicious identity-based spoils system."……..

Trump is already delivering on several of his promises. ICE raids all across the nation, Equal Opportunity Act and DEI programs being gutted.
And a MASSIVE part of the country is cheering it on. They’re getting someone who’s actually delivering on their agenda…
If anyone isn’t considering becoming a militant dirty leftist right now, you probably should be.

The scary thing about this is that we might be getting to a point where the middle class Trump faithful getting objectively f***ed by their dear leader doesn’t matter in the face of “what the liberals want to do”
It’s only half hyperbolic. I’ve seen it first hand many times over.

WASHINGTON — Federal employees received emails Wednesday warning that they could face repercussions if they do not report on co-workers who work in diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility positions that might have gone unnoticed by government supervisors.
"We are aware of efforts by some in government to disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language," said emails sent to government employees and obtained by NBC News.
Employees were directed to notify the Office of Personnel Management if they are "aware of a change in any contract description or personnel position description since November 5, 2024 to obscure the connection between the contract and DEIA or similar ideologies."
"There will be no adverse consequences for timely reporting this information," the email said. "However, failure to report this information within 10 days may result in adverse consequences."
Workers across multiple agencies and departments have received emails with the same language as of Wednesday night.…….
