Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

Infuriating! 😡 My son has a plethora of specialists in other cities. The majority of his medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! Not just because of Critter’s car anxiety, but wear and tear on our car. 🤬

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation. "The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]." This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities. nanoscale.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-...

Whether in the courts or by way of pressure on the Trump Administration, DEMAND evidence of these claims of fraud and waste. You’d think Trump would be running to Congress & to court to show what they’ve found, and yet…crickets 🦗
