When you lose a federal contract over this kind of “review” how often do you figure it’s just because you’re black?

An internal HUD email reviewed by TPM said that DOGE was moving to cancel “all awards” for eight contractors after a “DOGE review of their websites and LinkedIn profiles.”

Yeah so is every person of color considered a DEI hire now?(or woman or LGBTQ person?) 🤔 Cause that’s the direction it seems like this going… really convenient and insidious approach to infringing upon civil rights.

At what point do we as citizen have standing to sue for reckless mismanagement and waste by our government. If there is no possible way we have standing at this point our Judicial system is trash. He is doing irreparable damage. No one voted for this and this no way run a country.

How can this be happening? If someone in the Biden administration looked through social media, found info that some federal contractors were Republican leaning, and canceled their contracts, EVERYONE would be jumping down their throats.
I get why repubs are silent now, but where are the dems?!?

During the Obama administration the IRS sent information letters to groups seeking tax exempt status based on their names containing Tea Party or Patriot, to ensure they were not political groups improperly seeking to be nonprofits. This was a huge “scandal”
