The Left has expressed unified confusion with Trump’s funding freeze.
Their claim is they want to make sure Orange-Man-Bad will not keep Seniors from receiving their Social Security or babies from receiving WIC payments so their mothers can buy formula.
There was even a scare that a Medicaid portal had been shut down. Most likely this was Leftist sabotage.

Conservatives are compassionate, but We the People want to ensure America’s tax dollars are spent wisely.
We want to ensure there is care for the most vulnerable in society, however, funding NGOs, on the other hand, is a terrible misuse of taxpayer funds.
NOTE: NGOs are Non-Governmental Organizations—groups that function independently of hands-on government control with the pie-in-the-sky objective of “improving society” and, of course, lavishly spending America’s tax dollars.
The term NGO is generally accepted to refer to non-profit, private organizations that, again, operate outside of government control. Some NGOs rely primarily on volunteers while others support a paid staff. The World Bank identifies two broad groups of NGOs:
– Operational NGOs, which focus on the design and implementation of development projects, and
– Advocacy NGOs, which defend or promote a specific cause and seek to influence public policy.
This is arguably the single most important aspect of Trump's funding freeze.
The immigration crisis isn't an accident. It's a well-oiled system, facilitated by powerful NGOs—and funded by your tax dollars.
By defunding the NGOs, Trump is crippling the entire system. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/OJs1GN0O3y

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem stated on the Fox News’ The Will Cain Show:
[DHS had] stopped all grant funding that is being abused by NGOs to facilitate illegal immigration into this country.
So, it’s amazing to me the hundreds of millions of dollars spent by the federal government, that has been sent to NGOs to facilitate this invasion of our country.
So, I’ve taken action to stop those funds, to reevaluate them, and to make sure that we’re actually using the taxpayer dollars in a way that strengthens this country, that keeps us safe.
I think people are curious when we look at grants that are given out by federal agencies and how they’re utilized, and that evaluation needs to be done. We’re not spending another dime to help the destruction of this country.

This is not “pen and phone,” this is an agency working within their powers to support President Trump’s mandate.
Noem continued:
We’re going to make sure we follow through on what President Trump has promised: And that’s to make sure that we’re securing our border, deporting those who are here illegally and committing criminal actions, and that our taxpayer dollars aren’t spent to help it.
Obviously, President Trump and his team have had four years of “pause time” to prepare for swamp draining.
God speed to the Trump-Vance team and God speed to bringing about an American Golden Age.
