Make no mistake — by doing this, Trump is helping Putin cover up terrible war crimes in Ukraine.
This has nothing to do with government efficiency and everything to do with bending the knee to a murderous dictator who Trump views as a role model. What a disgrace.

Kash Patel wants to criminally charge groups who received EPA grants for climate change projects. You know, like those greedy bastards at Habitat for Humanity.
He thinks climate change isn't real, so he thinks these groups have committed fraud.
Which of course is fucking crazy.

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence
National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety.
This won’t go well—we love our parks.
