DODG, an illegal "agency" but de facto part of the Executive Branch, has neither Constitutional (The "Take Care" clause, US Const Art II sed 4) nor legal authority (The Impoundment Act of 1974) to "cancel funding" for *anything*
That power belongs solely to Congress, who hold the Power of the Purse

When Musk talks about destroying the "deep state," what he really means is he wants to scoop in billions in federal contracts and remain deeply intertwined w/national security bureaucracy without facing oversight constraints. This is untenable. 8/

You have some twisted logic there. So I was following President Joe Biden, his page was copied and renamed to “archived” and they copied over the follows. The original President Joe Biden page was renamed to President Trump and they deleted all of the posts prior to yesterday but kept the follows.

I’m old enough to remember when Michelle Obama was roundly condemned by republicans for planting a garden and suggesting kids exercise and eat healthy foods. I’m mean if Deadbear McBrainworm can convince the right to put down the fast food, good on him I guess?

The epiphany when you realize you shouldn’t be treated the way you won’t let your kids be treated is life-changing.

Greenies are cat crack. We made the mistake of giving them to the orange son whenever he asked because it was cute. Now he’s limited to once in the evening. I’m not getting up a 3am to give you a treat.
