DOGE canceled research grants because they mentioned LGBTQ.
The person making the call had no experience reviewing grants and admitted no research informed the decision.
And this is the incompetence making federal funding decisions.

I don’t know who called off the Target boycott, but my wife and I haven’t been there since last January, and we have no plans to go back.
What did I miss? Because I haven’t seen an apology or any real course correction. Target spit in our faces, so we made a conscious lifestyle change.
More than 318,000 children have already benefitted from Minnesota’s nation-leading Child Tax Credit this year - with families receiving an average credit of $2,669.
The goal is simple - put money in the pockets of working families and lift children out of poverty.
Lawyer: You don't regret that people might have lost income?
Cavanaugh (DOGE): No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from two trillion dollars to close to zero.
Lawyer: Did you reduce the federal deficit?
Cavanaugh: No, we didn't.
Watch this clip.
Professors will recognize this kid as the student who didn't do the reading but still has very strong opinions about how it's all "bullshit," except this time he's not the callow student who's going to fail your course, he's the reviewer who's going to cancel your grant.
To summarize, Trump has offered asylum to Iran’s women’s soccer team and death to its men’s.
it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"
Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."
Gillibrand: "How they missed this was a girls' school is very concerning to me. If Sec. Hegseth did not cut the funding for this area of review by 90%, if he did not continually try to undermine the rules & procedures our service members & generals take - I think he should resign bc of this failure"
WICKER: Sen. Gillibrand, you did not mean to say that we targeted a school?
GILLIBRAND: That missile hit a school
This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
They’ll play this in museums in future.

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."
Sen. Kim: "The people I talk are thinking about their grocery prices, housing prices. They're not thinking about how much money American corporations are going to make off of higher oil prices, because that's just gonna raise all of our prices at home. That's where the president is just so detached"
Just the President threatening a soccer team ahead of the World Cup. No big deal.
uh… is that a threat?
This is incredible. Do the RNCC & NRSC approve of this message? 🤣
The average American is losing ground; & they see who's making a lot of 💰.
So Grandpa Chaos must feel quite confident that he can affect the midterms to put something this politically stupid in writing.

Meanwhile, Trump spent the day in Kentucky campaigning against the guy who got the Epstein files released.
Wow, Gulf shippers are in a real bind here. On one hand, Donald says everything's fine and Gulf shippers should sail on thru. On the other hand: massive boat-melting fireballs. Both sides make good points!
Everyone knows our offensive capabilities are unrivaled. No surprises there.
One thing that worries me is that we’ve failed to learn the lessons from Ukraine.
Warfare has changed, and we’re behind the eight ball. We should have been pouring money into counter-drone technology.
CARTOON OF THE DAY
(From @andertoon.bsky.social )
Democrats should demand a clawback of ICE's remaining OBBB money before agreeing to supplemental Pentagon funding.
I may be wrong, but it feels to me like reporters are giving Trump a lot more "Yeah, no, that's bullshit" responses now than they did just a few months ago.
NEW: US at fault for school strike in Iran. It was outdated maps. This undercuts Trump’s claims that Iran bombed its own school. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...
as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them
we remain firmly on track for 'republican president leaves the country an omnishambles, next democratic president is punished for not cleaning it up fast enough'
Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."
Apart from the moral repugnance, this is so revealing of how ignorant conservatives are about poverty. Poor people have to think about money ALL THE TIME. They worry constantly about what everything costs, how to substitute one purchase for another, what bill can be put off until payday, etc.
Paying Chevron more … for freedom
Seems like something we should’ve had a plan for before we started the war. bsky.app/profile/atru...
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
