Radicals have overthrown the government you know and love Americans.
Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Think of Trump as Nero. Not interested in the minutae of Government, he has ceded his job to radical Project 25 functionaries who just keep putting executive orders in front of him to sign .

#Pentagon seeks $80 billion from #Congress for #IranWar
The Pentagon has told senators it needs roughly $80 billion, mostly to cover the cost of the #US war against #Iran, adding to what is already a sizable #military spending boost being sought by #Trump.
The White House #OMB has yet to make a formal request to Congress. But #Defense Secy Pete #Hegseth has been making the rounds on Capitol Hill, including Monday evening.

The Pentagon has told lawmakers it needs roughly $80 billion, mostly to cover the cost of the war in Iran. The proposal would add to what is already a sizable defense spending boost being sought by President Donald Trump. Senate Majority Leader John Thune said senators would review the proposal when it was formally submitted. But Democrats and some Republicans have been highly critical of Trump's military actions against Iran and skeptical of the deal the president made to end the war. The money, largely to replenish stockpiles, comes as Trump is seeking $1.5 trillion this year for the Defense Department, a 50% increase.
As pointed out by @weatherwest the #UnitedStates government is attacking scientific research. The Office of Management and Budget #OMB have proposed changes for funding scientific research. If you find research into disease prevention, agricultural production or our worsening #ClimateEmergency important, we have until July 13, 2026 to provide public comment.
Here are two links describing the issue so you can submit your thoughts.

"...because it is a congressionally created agency, President Donald Trump needed lawmakers’ permission to do so. So this year, Trump officials asked Congress for permission to shutter the U.S. Agency for International Development and dramatically reduce federal spending on food, medicine and lifesaving work around the world."

Lawmakers gave specific orders to Trump officials on foreign aid spending, but officials have refused to follow many of them — likely in violation of the law, experts say. In doing so, they’re escalating a constitutional crisis.
