Suzanne Aldrich (she/her)<p>IPOs are being pulled. Investors are freezing capital. The economy is stalling out—and we haven’t even felt the full shock yet. A flood of newly unemployed federal workers is about to hit the job market, deepening what’s shaping up to be a brutal recession.</p><p>Meanwhile, in the “weird but true” column: the Nintendo Switch 2 is delayed due to tariffs. The TikTok deal is on ice. Side effects of sabotage, sure—but far from the main event.</p><p>Here’s what’s actually happening:<br>• The Fed can’t cut rates—too much inflation, too little room to act<br>• Trump fired the head of the NSA<br>• Regulatory agencies are being stripped of power<br>• Federal grants frozen by EO<br>• Dogecoin granted access to government payment systems<br>• Executive order to end birthright citizenship<br>• USAID shut down<br>• Healthcare and affordable drug/insulin policies rolled back<br>• WHO withdrawal<br>• NIH funding slashed<br>• Department of Education targeted for dismantling<br>• Pell Grants and student loans cut<br>• EPA protections gutted<br>• Paris Climate Accord abandoned<br>• Clean energy and sustainability projects defunded<br>• Small business support slashed<br>• DEI initiatives erased<br>• Federal investigations into transgender athletes launched</p><p>Tourism? Cratering. Canadian flights down 70%, land crossings down 45%. Airlines slashing routes, hotels squeezed by skyrocketing material costs due to tariffs. Every economic sector is taking hits.</p><p>This isn’t conservative policy. It’s not reform.
