I confess to back pedaling into Trump territory when I wanted to leave discussions about him in the garbage can. My thread on the read-only break room site has 9,600 replies so I thought I'd bring up a new one.
He's not going away.
Haberman's book is out based on interviews. I won't read it, but the excerpts are interesting. Especially what he says about McConnell, a description that's against the Terms of Service here, but I actually don't disagree with. LOL
Quote
“At one point, Trump made a candid admission that was as jarring as it was ultimately unsurprising. ‘The question I get asked more than any other question: “If you had it to do again, would you have done it?”’Trump said of running for president. ‘The answer is, yeah, I think so. Because here’s the way I look at it. I have so many rich friends and nobody knows who they are.’ … Reflecting on the meaning of having been president of the United States, his first impulse was not to mention public service, or what he felt he’d accomplished, only that it appeared to be a vehicle for fame, and that many experiences were only worth having if someone else envied them.”
Try reading the definition again and then think about current events with that definition in mind.
This seems a silly thing for a masters prepared health professional to not understand.
Yeah. I skipped the day they taught the in and out of "ethnic cleansing". Was that a part of your education during your time? Is there a particular reason you feel it necessary to question someone's credentials? Like I need your signature on my Masters Degree?
Pretty sure asking neighboring countries to take in people isn't "ethnic cleansing". Just more non sense hyperbolic propaganda.
Your "covid misinformation " reminded me of this article I read the other day:
"For years, scientists and commentators who questioned COVID policies were censored, blacklisted, and canceled across the country. Many of these dissenting views have since been vindicated from the lab origins theory to the lack of efficacy of surgical masks to the opposition to the closure of schools. Now, a new study in the Journal of Infection further undermines the once orthodox views of the pandemic, concluding that "reopening schools did not change the existing trajectory of COVID-19 rates.” In other words, we shut down our schools, without any demonstrable benefit to the country. We did, however, succeed in reducing free speech in the name of combating "disinformation."
.....
"The very figures claiming to battle "disinformation" were suppressing opposing views that have now been vindicated as credible. It was not only the lab theory. In my recent book, I discuss how signatories of the Great Barrington Declaration were fired or disciplined by their schools or associations for questioning COVID-19 policies.
Some experts questioned the efficacy of surgical masks, the scientific support for the six-foot rule and the necessity of shutting down schools. The government has now admitted that many of these objections were valid and that it did not have hard science to support some of the policies. While other allies in the West did not shut down their schools, we never had any substantive debate due to the efforts of this alliance of academic, media and government figures."
A Florida congresswoman has introduced legislation to add a carving of Donald Trump to the ranks of presidents like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln on Mount Rushmore.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna officially filed the bill on Jan. 28. She said the legislation aims to honor President Trump for his "transformative impact on America and the historical significance of his leadership.”
A personal story about how the executive orders are affecting people.
My daughter works for a local NGO that works to find housing for people. They have several public/private partnerships to find, fund, and at times, build housing for those who would otherwise be unhoused, including veterans. They also oversee Headstart, help with weatherization and home repair, and Meals on Wheels. They are funded by local, state, and yes, federal funds, plus charitable contributions from the community.
Because of the White House edicts, they have 1 week to answer a series of questions about DEI, serving LGTBQ, whether they fund abortions, support gender identity programs, climate change, or provided services to illegal aliens.
According to her, the whole organization is in an uproar, in fear that they will lose funding.

How does this make any sense at all?
It's temporary, pending review.
But to answer your question as to how it makes sense in regards to the specific situation you mentioned, its because it's not the role of the federal government to house people.
It also might help you to look up what the acronym "NGO" stands for?

One of my kids is a cancer researcher at a major Midwestern university. Last year she co-authored some promising work on the treatment of glioblastoma. Her position, that team, and that research is paid for by research grants from NIH. The economic impact of this chaos from a crazy fascist is going to leave a mark for millions of hardworking Americans and their communities.

A federal judge said the hold is unconstitutional and put that plan on ice for now. The felon and his sychophants will most certainly look for a way to circumvent both that order and the laws to do as they please. We'll get to see how well the judges hold up to the threats from emboldened Trump supporters now that they know that Trump has their back if they hurt someone on his behalf.
Just for clarity purposes, NGO isn't a declaration of the funding sources. It's an acknowledgment of the funding source and a clarification about who makes the decisions about use of that money regardless of source. Somehow I bet you knew that, didn't you?
it's not the role of the federal government to house people.
And yet, the federal government has a cabinet position for that, Housing and Urban Development.

NGOs also play a critical role in driving change by advocating for policies and practices that benefit disadvantaged communities. They often work in partnership with other organizations, including government agencies, to address complex challenges that require a collaborative approach
