💰 Mayor's Proposed $6.45 BILLION Discretionary (Unrestricted) Budget 💰

Discretionary funds or unrestricted funds can be used by the City to literally spend on ANYTHING.

These funds come from the General Fund, which is the fund that is financially in trouble and in a deficit.

Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.

They understand that Trump's policies are designed to make the wealthiest Americans even richer.

These three men have become $232 billion richer since November.

Not bad in a couple of months time!

Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.
