US is saving money from funds that is used for education and science, instead of war. they're spending a lot of money for Israel and its war in Gaza. No one questions that money. it is insane

Kinda interesting to watch. US is actively choosing the "anti-literacy" path forward, compared to all the other big guys in the game. Is there any other proper reason other than potentially bumping up the birth rates? It's not 1900s anymore, where the sheer manpower wins big wars anymore, as manufacturing, science and tech can sway it one way or another. I just don't get the endgame.

The party that claims to support the constitution seems to not support the constitution. They also seem to not support education, health and sciences.<p>Talk about going back decades.

That agency was created by an act of congress. These people hate America and our constitution.

Meanwhile Trump&#x27;s golfing so far this term has cost the country more than $26 million dollars (on his own golf courses).<p>If DOGE was serious about saving money there&#x27;s some excess spending they could get rid of.

It&#x27;s the last place you will ever see MAGA&#x2F;Trump Supporters.<p>Today, I received an email from Brandon Gill about his mission to defund NPR, a radical left-leaning outlet poisoning America&#x27;s minds. There were some additional things in that email that made no difference in Americans&#x27; lives.<p>JC, it&#x27;s a radio station that Republicans don&#x27;t even listen to. It&#x27;s like he thinks 50% of Americans don&#x27;t deserve any representation. I&#x27;m not even a Democrat, and I find it insane. I can only imagine it is an attempt to deflect attention away from his constituents&#x27; real issues. Show them something shiny, and maybe they will forget what matters.<p>The Republican folks in Congress are pathetic. They&#x27;re a bunch of freaks.<p>Disclaimer: Republican turned Independent.

All this is illegal:<p>The Impoundment Control Act<p>The Administrative Procedure Act<p>The Civil Service Reform Act<p>The Museum and Library Services Act<p>The Appointments clause of Article II of the Constitution<p>The Take Care clauses of Article II of the Constitution.<p>Executive orders are not laws and cannot override laws.

This should not have been flagged.

Jesus. I remember libertarians saying “I want to get rid of X and Y, but obviously not libraries.”<p>In other words we are now living in the most extremist libertarian fantasy.
