    In a letter to the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee, the president’s budget director, Russel Vought, laid out $163 billion in annual spending cuts coupled with “unprecedented increases” in military and border security spending. The cuts, Vought wrote, are directed at areas of spending that the administration found to be “contrary to the needs of ordinary working Americans and tilted toward funding niche non-governmental organizations and institutions of higher education committed to radical gender and climate ideologies antithetical to the American way of life.”

    That includes $33.5 billion in proposed cuts to the Housing and Urban Development department, a 44% reduction from current levels.

    So having a place to live and access to healthcare or education are “radical gender and climate ideologies antithetical to the American way of life” and “contrary to the needs of ordinary working Americans.”

    Republicans are insane. Kick these fascists out by any means necessary before it’s too late.

      That’s what the second amendment is for.
