Trump budget chief Russ Vought testified PEPFAR sent millions of dollars to Russia to advise doctors on how to perform abortions & “gender analysis," but the global AIDS relief program has not operated in Russia since 2012.

Federal Funding for Libraries Helps Reduce Recidivism Trump is destroying Federal Funding for libraries through the elimination of the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

There is a well-established link between low literacy, dropout rates, and criminal behavior, and federal funding for libraries helps increase literacy rates in prisons across the country.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.

It is blatantly unconstitutional.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Pretty simple rule of thumb when wondering why the Trump administration does anything is to ask two questions:

1) is it racist?

Or

2) are they stupid?

Tends to cover most Trump administration stuff.
