If I may ...
For your consideration ...
Hear tell @TPD is a pretty progressive fellow.
This word salad drips with a not-to-worry this is how we'll get free money from government by using serious and intelligent sounding words that no one else could ever arrange into a sentence:
"fiscal stewardship to improve management and program operations in order to drive innovation and improve efficiency and effectiveness of business services; rethink, realign and reskill the workforce; and enhance program delivery through a number of transformational initiatives."
When it actually mean nothing except we are grifters and will do as you say and give the appropriate kickbacks to those legislators in need.

3 Ways Trump Plans To Root Out Rampant Obamacare Fraud
End to Coverage for DACA Participants
Among its many provisions, the proposed rule would end Exchange coverage for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) participants, months after changes pushed through by the Biden administration. As I previously noted, the Biden administration proposed and then finalized a policy allowing DACA participants not only to apply for Exchange coverage but also to receive taxpayer-funded subsidies. Biden’s actions went further than the Obama administration, which concluded that it lacked the authority to make DACA participants eligible for Exchange coverage.Shortly after the Biden administration finalized the proposal last summer, a group of Republican attorneys general challenged the action in court. In December, they won a court ruling blocking DACA recipients from applying for coverage in their states. If the Trump proposal is finalized, it will end the legal wrangling over taxpayer-subsidized coverage for illegal immigrants and restore the pre-Biden status quo.
DOGE says 239 contracts canceled over 2 days, including a grant to teach trans farmers about 'food justice'
Among them included an $8.5 million consulting contract for "fiscal stewardship to improve management and program operations in order to drive innovation and improve efficiency and effectiveness of business services; rethink, realign and reskill the workforce; and enhance program delivery through a number of transformational initiatives."
On Tuesday, DOGE announced the National Institutes of Health canceled multiple federal grants related to trans and sexual identity. Those include $699,000 for studying "cannabis use" among "sexual minority gender diverse individuals" and $620,000 for "an LGB+ inclusive teen pregnancy prevention program for transgender boys," DOGE said.
Another included $225,000 in federal funds for the University of Colorado to study the "effects of hormones on headaches in transmasculine adolescents."
On Wednesday, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins noted that a $379,000 U.S. Department of Agriculture grant in the San Francisco Bay Area to educate queer, trans and BIPOC urban farmers and consumers about food justice and values-aligned markets had been canceled.

Trump has ordered the shut down of United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM) which oversees: Voice of America Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty Radio and Television Marti Radio Free Asia Middle East Broadcasting Networks These organizations produced and disseminated far-left propaganda, including media hostile to conservatives in Central European countries such as Poland, Slovakia and Hungary—and perpetuated a pro-war narratives against Russia. Journalists who showed up at the Voice of America today to broadcast their programs found themselves locked out and given termination notices. In addition, every contractor and international broadcaster funded by the organization has had their contracts severed indefinitely. According to NPR, “Three staffers for DOGE, the government cost-slashing initiative led by Musk, have been camped out at the agency gaining access to its budget, social media and other activities, according to several people with knowledge.” Well done, DOGE!

Can you please tell me what was wrong with that? If VOA was voicing far left propaganda, then I am in agreement that it was wrong. But voicing propaganda against Russia who is our main adversary no matter what you all think is not wrong. VOA was often a voice that spread American democracy to people who were only getting Soviet propaganda. What is the point of shutting it down? If you want to change it and kick out the far left propaganda, then do that. Shutting down something that combats Russian propaganda only furthers the narrative that the US is bowing down to Russia.
Because if the goal is to get along with other countries and avoid wars, verbally abusing them is a bad strategy. I also wish conservative news outlets - all of them, really, but conservative ones are what I'm seeing lately - would stop crowing about "so and so caved" and taunting when Trump wins. Winning should be satisfaction enough, rubbing their faces in it just makes them want to get you next time.
I frankly admit I'm sometimes guilty of this but I'm trying not to be. Also I'm just rando on the internet, official outlets should be more circumspect.

"Department of Education is laundering money back to the Democrat Party “This is why Democrats are losing their minds over Elon Musk. It's all about money” Rep Harriet Hageman “The Federal Department of Education spends it as a budget of about $280 billion a year. Less than 25% goes to educating our students. So where does the other $220 billion go? It goes to a bureaucracy, it goes to a consultant, and that consultant then donates money BACK TO DEMOCRATS, and then it goes to a different consultant, and then it goes to an NGO. I mean, IT IS MONEY LAUNDERING and money churning at its absolute best.” “Is the DOGE Program targeted at these bureaucrats?” “Yes”

"Under the bold direction of Elon Musk and the Trump administration, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has smashed yet another mound of taxpayer-funded madness. Through X, DOGE revealed this week that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has cut funding for a number of contentious, taxpayer-funded research programs, including an astounding $620,000 for a purported "pregnancy prevention program" for biological females who identify as "transgender boys."
only a Democrat could come up with something this stupid.
