I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

A proposal: Academic researchers and folks in similar positions, consider writing an op-Ed, or at least a letter to the editor, in your local paper about what these horrific decisions will do to jobs and services *in your local community*. I train scientists to write op-Ed’s and I can help.

They're trying to use the "big numbers don't mean anything" defense here, so let me contextualize: that's the whole budget (over some time period).

Just checked the CDC website and Lo! The info on bullying is there, dated October 2024. HIV info is also now showing. Both pages noted, however, that the pages were being updated pursuant to FELONs EOs.
