(Chuck Muth | Muth’s Truths) – Democrat Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannibizzaro and Assembly Speaker Steve “Marco Polo” Yeager’s legislative Democrats burped out a press release today headlined…
“Lombardo Administration Must Demand Answers from Trump on Spending Freeze.”
The subhead read…
“Federal freeze could affect Head Start, nutrition and housing assistance, school meals, Medicaid, and other programs widely used by Nevadans.”
Leader Laurel and Speaker Hardy continued…
“As a state, we cannot afford to sit quietly while the Trump administration recklessly damages programs Nevadans depend on every day. The Governor’s office must demand answers from the federal government and a reversal of this decision while providing the Legislature a full accounting of all affected state programs and services.”
I love when these people “demand” stuff. Always reminds me of what Khan Noonien Singh said to Captain Clark Terrell in Star Trek II…
“You are in a position to demand nothing.”
That aside, the Democrats’ hysteria-fueled claims are a complete lie.
The Office of Management and Budget exposes the totally false and fake news. As OMB clearly states…
“Any program that provides direct benefits to Americans is explicitly excluded from the pause and exempted from this review process.
“In addition to Social Security and Medicare, already explicitly excluded in guidance, mandatory programs like Medicaid and SNAP will continue without pause.
“Funds for small businesses, farmers, Pell grants, Head Start, rental assistance, and other similar programs will not be paused.”

Welcome to the first dumb media hoax of 2025. OMB ordered a review of funding to NGOs, foreign governments and large discretionary contracts. It explicitly excluded all aid and benefit programs. Leftwing media outright lied and some people fell for the hoax.

How embarrassing for Nevada’s Democrat purveyors of lies, distortions, and misinformation.
But one thing’s for sure: They’ll never let the truth get in the way of a political smear.
UPDATE:
Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo has responded to the Democrats’ attack…
