again, it's all Russell Vought

most people know who Stephen Miller is but the real monster is Russell Vought

Heritage Foundation's #1 enforcer, the destruction of science and academia is their top 10

if Vance, their prized successor, somehow gets the reins in 2029 country is absolutely cooked

They say they care about spending but ignore DOD financial shenanigans, which implies it's not about spending and only about what they like.

has nothing to do with money, it's about destroying science and medicine

president burns $2 million in federal funds almost every weekend golfing https://DidTrumpGolfToday.com

he took $100 million from park funds for his own birthday party

he just ransacked the nuclear missile maintenance program for almost a BILLION dollars to refurbish a half-billion dollar plane which he intends to keep somehow despite wildly illegal under emoluments clause

Iran War spent a BILLION dollars a day and has to be restocked

US funds and supplies Israel 2/3rd of their entire weapons supply (while they have universal healthcare)

again, not about savings, about destruction of science and medicine

This is misleading.

Israel’s annual budget is $270 Billion, of which $45 Billion is military. US aid is around $3.8 Billion a year.

		I don't know the numbers, but you and the parent are saying different things. The US could still be supplying 2/3s of Israel's weapons while only subsidising about 10% of that supply.

Preach, brother. I'm saying that the GOP frames the cuts as "saving taxpayer money" vs the obvious "we hate science because it consistently proves that we're lying to you".
