The Supreme Court and Congress are giving license to these actions. We cannot do a heck of a lot about the SC, but voters can vote out any congressperson up for reelection who did not speak out about these atrocities.

A sickening waste of tax payers money for the self aggrandizement of a very troubled president.

This man will now have your personal social security number and information due to a recent Supreme Court expedited decision. The man behind the man.

I guess there is nothing more important in this world going on that our government is occupied with? The only thing McMahon knows about accreditation is giving championship belts to fake wrestlers.

I am sure Pete Hegseth is right on top of this.

So besides being an economist, trump now is an accreditation authority? With all the problems in this country and globally why is he wasting his time fighting with universities when it could be better spent establishing more bitcoins.

And trump cut how many people that this program was supposed to replace? Automation works until it doesn't.

Does trump realize that these people are indigenous to the US and his family are the immigrants. Another shameless act.

And this tariff benefits who? The US steel company cannot produce anywhere what is needed in this country. And to that fact, has he given out details of the US Steel-Nippon Steel deal yet?

You would have to recall half of congress as they do not read bills before they vote and leave it up to their staff to summarize the bills and advise them. Considering who is making this statement, her staff probably have even less capacity then she does.

This whole immigration deportation movement orchestrated by trump's advisor Stephen Miller is nothing more than a neo- Nazi, White Supremacy infiltration of our government, and both Houses of Congress and the Supreme Court are allowing it to happen.

She was too busy making stock trades while monitoring the latest trump tariff pronouncements.

When you are fighting for the existence of your country you want the best officers in charge of your greatest defense weapon. Unfortunately our commander and chief picks Fox news commentators and barbie dolls.

Since Congress has given up their "power of the purse", it is gratifying to see these big companies using that power against trump and his influence.

Fox news has done more to facilitate trump and his pack of liars since he came down that escalator in trump tower. The MAGA movement feeds off of Fox and anything said on that network is taken as gospel. If any democrat operated like Fox and Truth Social they would be investigated by the FCC.

Hegseth is another in the group of liars, revisionists and hypocrites, and yet a good portion of the US population is fine with all of this.

With all do respect, rhetoric is going to get us absolutely nothing-we need to know how democrats are going to defend democracy and how we are going to restore what trump and DOGE have decimated.

Funny he is trashing this budget-we have not been made privy to how much money is included in this bill, ( from cuts he has made), that is going into contracts with "X" companies. Until then, the hypocrisy train chugs on...

The self aggrandizement of this president continues to disgust me.

I've said this a thousand times already, why haven't congressmen, (and women), been investigated for insider trading since this administration has come to power? Forget conflict of interest-that happens on both sides of the aisle.

How much farm subsidies will trump and his team also cut? Will this be enough to show farmers that they made a stupid mistake voting for him?

How many immigrants in other small towns is this happening to, and when will the people in these towns wake up and realize what they have done by electing this man as president.

A 15% budget cut is surprising since he appointed McMahon to eliminate the department. I guess when trump was shut down by the courts he opted for 15% as better than nothing. Poor, poor simple man wants to surround himself with with illiterate yes men.

The tax breaks for the rich we all know about. It is the hidden added tidbits embedded in the bill that worry me. Considering half of Congress who voted for the bill in the House probably didn't read the bill in its entirety-let us hope the Senate provides a little more scrutiny.

Another well run agency by an empty headed barbie, aka gnome.

How do you even respond to a comment like that?

Is this the United States of America? Why is this administration doing this? We used to protest things like this happening in other countries, now we are showing we are no better than them. Shame on us.

Smoke and mirrors by Bessent and Trump. His voters won't realize this until they look into their wallets to pay their bills.

The "MAGA" movement will prove to be the biggest downfall in science, health and innovation for the United States for decades to come.

What was with her "tooth fairy" comment. An apology, don't think so.

This administration is clueless as to why government exists. Unfortunately, it will be the people in hurricane prone states that will find out very soon what disruptions to these agencies have done.

This administration is heartless. But what would you expect from trump and miller.

I don't know which is worse for my health, my scotch or 4 years of trump-I hope I am lucky enough to to choose in 2028.

trump has donated to Democrats in the past, so we all know this is not the reason. We also know that Isaacman's appointment will certainly be questionable considering his relationship with Musk.

And when will we see the judiciary holding trump and his advisors in contempt for not following through with the judicial decisions.

If these quotas stay at this level, and that is questionable with trump, does he realize what it will cost to produce a new vehicle for pleasure or for one's vocation? These tariffs will devastate our current manufacturing capacity.

Glad to see that some sanity prevails and that the CDC goes against RFK JR. and advises the public what is importamt to do to keep our citizens safe.
