"Minister for disabled people Stephen #Timms has been holding regular meetings with #deaf and #disabled people’s organisations. 'You get the sense he’s only there because he has to be, and, to be honest, like he hasn’t actually got a clue what he’s doing or willing to accept just how much cuts will affect disabled people'."

"What do we know about those who have signed up to #YourParty? This is hardly scientific, but the dozen or so friends and family to have done so are (no surprises here) disaffected #Labour voters justifiably angry at the government’s timidity on #Gaza, on tax for the richest versus #welfare #cuts, on making a positive case for #migration..."

Under the #Constitution, that #power is afforded to #Congress. But #Trump & #RussVought have sought to reconfigure the #budget on the *premise* that they have expansive authority to act on their own, a position echoed by some #Republicans in Congress [only when they’re in power].

Last week, Republicans approved a set of #spending #cuts formally sought by the White House, revoking $9B in enacted funding for #PublicBroadcasting & #ForeignAid.

"As the best and the brightest were being fired at the National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration by senseless and draconian ‘DOGE’ cuts earlier this year under Trump, with no reason given except for the need to cut a paltry amount of the government’s budget, experts warned repeatedly that the cuts would have deadly consequences during the storm season. And they have."

"When politicians can’t admit they are losing, they say they are listening. Sometimes, it is even true. Usually, it is too late. The optimal time for Downing Street to have started paying attention to #Labour MPs’ complaints about #disability #benefits #cuts was before the uprising threatened to torpedo a flagship government bill."

DuBose said the #states had shown “irreparable harm,” from the #cuts & were likely to prevail in their claims that the “#HHS’s action was both arbitrary & capricious as well as contrary to #law.”

“The executive branch does not have the authority to order, organize, or implement wholesale changes to the structure & function of the agencies created by #Congress,” DuBose wrote in a 58-page order handed down in US district court of #RhodeIsland.

"I have wrestled with whether I should resign or remain in the Government and fight for change from within. Sadly it is now seems that we are not going to get the changes I desperately wanted to see. I therefore tender my resignation as I know I will not be able to do the job that is required of me and whip – or indeed vote – for reforms which include cuts to disabled people’s finances."
