The SOD laid it out pretty good on I believe an X post. He said while it could be called a cut, it was more of reassigning funds from non-lethal DEI projects to lethal priorities or training and supplies. He also listed things that would not be on the table. It sounded good to me.

These people really think Elon is rolling up his sleeves and making these cuts all by himself.......and if you listen to CNN, that is the impression they are giving...... I was channel flipping last night and it is back to his first term where all CNN focuses on is negative Trump. The host and 4 guest all hate Trump, they ask each other loaded questions and complain about Trump..... They have not learned

As well as replacing tanks, vehicles and ammunition they have lost over the last 3 years in Ukraine....

Elon does not have the power to cut anything........ He makes suggestions.....the actual departments do the cutting

Not everyone, but the average salary in USA is $56,000. A single man making 56K, taking standard deduction would owe $4700 in taxes every year. If we can agree that the waste has been going on for AT LEAST 2 years, the average person would have paid $9400 in taxes, so a one time 8K refund would seem reasonable. In normal circumstances I would say no way anyone is getting a refund........but this is Trump, nothing is off the table lol

Russia never claimed to be.....see the difference? I doubt it..... 30 days in and at least there are talks.....Biden did what?

Corrections & amplifications: This article was updated to reflect Patel’s written testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, in which he said he would decline to accept stock issued by Trump Media. An earlier version of this article incorrectly said he received it.

Hey Einstein - Where are the criminal charges if it is so simple that YOU could figure it out?

A tax refund is not free money.....it's a refund UNLESS, with child credits you get back more than you paid in......that is free money

Why do they want to cut should be the question. If they want to cut building ships, tanks, boots on the ground, etc.....I disagree no matter who suggest it. If they want to cut waste AFTER an audit determining waste, then I'm for it. The never Trumpers are looking for anyway to disagree with everything this administration is doing, but when you look at just about any poll, the majority of Americans like the approach Trump and the Republicans are taking. Latest CNN poll of people who self identify as Dem vs Rep: 2017 Democrats +5 2021 Democrats +6 Feb: 2025 - Republicans +2 (that's an 8 point swing, pretty easy math)

Republicans are finally catching on to what Democrats have been promising for years - free stuff This, however, if done correctly should be given to everyone that PAID taxes as a refund for overspending. If you got back more than you paid in, you should get nothing.

All for nothing......I'm sure Elon will not have a problem answering a subpoena from Patel requesting X and Twitter records that were once public.

1. Never bite the hand that feeds you, Zelensky should be talking to trump in private not the media 2. Zelensky won't have an election, so they are not a Democracy......bad look 3. Trump is tired of paying for a war that Zelensky can't win.

This is exactly why Republicans will keep both houses in 2026 and Vance will be President in 2028. The majority of people want the waste cut, yet Democrats post articles like this......lol

Why do you dislike white people so much? You have nothing positive to say about anyone white, while claiming everyone else is uneducated. You must like the divide.

If Trump has a good term, Vance will be our next President.

You can disagree all you want, but it does not change the facts….

We are worried that the man who owned PayPal, who had unfettered access to millions of peoples personal data is somehow now going to abuse the system now…..smh

The president does not approve detailed line spending. They just approve the overall bill. If you think I’m wrong, do you think Obama read every page of the affordable health care act? Everyone seems to think he is going after the previous administration. I would bet money some of the things being spent are rollovers from the previous administrations including Trumps…. Lastly, if they wanted to call out anyone, it would be the writers of the bills that had the wasteful spending, but they have not

I'm more concerned with the topic that caused the shoving.....seems quite the escalation to file assault charges if only shoving was involved.....IMO

The first amendment protects them and lets them report what they want, but the first amendment does not grant or guarantee the AP a chair in a press briefing or in Air Force 1. Lets ne honest, it is petty on Trumps administration to exclude them, but it in no way violates the first amendment,

I bet she has really good "jeans" 😁

What is the answer? You think the USA should force Russia out by force? That may cause Russia's allies to jump in, causing our allies to jump in, and just like that we have WWIII. Russia invaded Ukraine under Obama and under Biden. It would be hard to put together an explanation of coincidence....But I'm all ears Trump is in a tough position, but he wants the war to end so the senseless killing will stop. What is done is done, and that is what he has to work with.

I can't WAIT for Kash Patel...... That's going to be fun to watch

Maybe you can explain how refusing a reporter in the white house violates any of the above?
