I just got confirmation that National History Day, a program that does more to ignite K-12 students' love of history, learning, and yes, even the United States than anything else I've ever seen, had all its funding cut yesterday by the DOGE-axe at the NEH - including for this year's ongoing contest.

TRUMP DITCHES FALLEN SOLDIERS' DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR GOLF DINNER
Trump won't attend the dignified transfer of 4 U.S. soldiers at Dover AFB who died in Lithuania.
He'll be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead. The soldiers were honored by Lithuania's president.

The Trump administration abruptly laid off the entire staff running a $4.1 billion program to help low-income households across the U.S. pay their heating and cooling bills.

News Analysis: The GOP won the last election in no small part because of its new appeal with working-class voters. But the economic agenda Republicans are now putting together would by and large help rich Americans, all while teeing up cuts to programs that provide health care and food to the poor.
GOP Gambles on Budget Plan That Helps the Rich and Cuts Aid to the Poor

HELL YEAH: During my interview with Congressman Eugene Vindman, he BLASTED Trump for supporting Putin over Ukraine:
“Dangerous. Dishonorable. Disgusting.”
He then attacked Trump’s lies:
“Anybody that tells you Ukraine is responsible for starting this war, whether it’s Putin or Trump, is LYING.”
“Dangerous. Dishonorable. Disgusting.”

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.
