>There isn't really much waste in federal spending. Most programs are important to somebody for good reasons.

"[Pushing MAGA initiatives] is important to somebody for good reasons." Yes, zealots love pushing their ideology.

In about 15 seconds I found the following:

Culture Change for Inclusion of Indigenous Voices in Biology

Strengthening Inclusion by Change in Building Equity, Diversity and Understanding (SICBEDU) in Integrative Biology

An Equitable, Justice-Focused Ecosystem for Pacific Northwest Secondary CS [Computer Science] Teaching

These are pure waste pushed by religious zealots.
