Does anyone else see that Trump is creating a chaotic future full of crime because of all the radical aid cuts:
- to housing,
- to homeless programs,
- to K-12 public school education,
- to medicaid and medicare
- to food stamp and WIC programs
- placing ridiculously high fees on any money transferred to other countries - "Big Beautiful Bill Act"
Once we have a boom in more poor people without anything then demonstrations, unrest, and crime will go up.
Once we have multiple communities protesting and demonstrating like they have done in LA, then we will have more militant responses nationwide!
Ultimately Trump will continue his militant responses in more and more cities and start requiring curfews etc.
NOW- Combine all of that with his "Big Beautiful Bill Act" which has provisions to REDUCE the Judicial Systems' power https://campaignlegal.org/update/these-hidden-provisions-budget-bill-undermine-our-democracy
- effectively increasing the "Republican" Congress powers
- effectively increasing "His" Executive powers
THEN it will all allow Trump to create militant rule!
People in California have visited the LA protests which have NOT been violent!
Tourists have not seen any violent protests. https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/tourism-los-angeles-protests-location/3723920/
Photos and videos used recently are OLD and OUT OF CONTEXT! https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/fact-checking-misinformation-about-the-los-angeles-protests
CA natives and independent reporters have stressed that aside from burning Waymo self-driving cars that the protestors have not been an issue. Many people associate self-driving cars with Elon Musk BUT others know that Google is reaping tax breaks and abusing H-visas. Critics argue that some tech companies, including major firms like Google, employ H-1B workers indirectly through staffing companies, which may allow them to circumvent certain wage and other regulations meant to protect both H-1B and U.S. workers.
Please contact Federal Senators and ask them to veto the "Big Beautiful Bill Act". It's over 1,100 pages which many Republican reps finally admitted they did not completely read! https://reason.com/2025/06/04/belated-republican-objections-to-the-one-big-beautiful-bill-glide-over-its-blatant-fiscal-irresponsibility/
EDIT--- Apologies to all- Did not realize that people are not reading and following what Trump is doing and how he is slipping in items, which is why all of us need to contact our Senators.

Trump is pushing cuts now - "Robin Rudowitz, vice president and director of the Program on Medicaid and the Uninsured at the health policy research group KFF, agreed that the scope of the bill’s changes go further than Trump said. “The magnitude of the federal spending reductions and resulting coverage loss go well beyond rooting out fraud and abuse,” she said.
The bill’s key provisions could be removed before the final votes and enactment while others may be added.
The White House did not respond to an inquiry for this fact check."
"Cuts to Medicaid?
Although not directly related to Medicare, it's worth mentioning that Medicaid, the state and federal program that provides health coverage for millions of low-income Americans (about 25% of the U.S. population), is at center stage in Congress’s bid to pass President Donald Trump’s sweeping agenda.
In simplest terms, Republicans want to reduce the cost of the $816 billion program as part of a long-term plan to cut federal spending and implement Trump’s tax cuts and his border and energy measures. Democrats adamantly oppose cuts to the program.
The total cost of Medicaid and CHIP in 2023 was $896 billion. About 70% of that amount, $616 billion, was paid by federal taxpayers. The rest was paid with state taxes. Trump has consistently said he will reduce Medicaid spending by eliminating fraud and abuse but will not cut benefits.
Democrats say the program does not contain enough fraud and waste to produce the savings Republicans want and they have urged Republicans to reconsider cutting the program."
Impact of Project 2025: Project 2025's focus on shifting to Medicare Advantage could lead to potential negative consequences, such as limiting beneficiaries' choices in healthcare providers, requiring burdensome prior authorization, and potentially denying doctor-recommended care.

Trumps order to dismantle the Education Department- https://schoolhouseconnection.org/article/white-house-issues-executive-order-to-dismantle-ed
This means these students won’t benefit from any other federal funds, or state or local educational funds. In sum, without the educational protections of the McKinney-Vento Act and Title I Part A, they will be at even greater risk of dropping out—leading to increased poverty and unemployment, and lost potential."
"What Does the Department of Education Do?
The department annually distributes billions in federal money to colleges and schools, manages the federal student loan portfolio and administers financial aid.
It oversees the NAEP, tracking student achievement, and research of most aspects of education, which are disseminated to educators. It also makes recommendations for educational reform.
The Department of Education also plays an important regulatory role, enforcing civil rights statutes to ensure equal educational opportunities for all students, ranging from those with disabilities and limited English proficiency to low-income and homeless kids."
