Through our budgets, the Department of Defense will once again resource warfighting and cease unnecessary spending that set our military back under the previous administration, including through so-called "climate change" and other woke programs, as well as excessive bureaucracy. The time for preparation is over – we must act swiftly to deter current and impending threats and make the best use of taxpayers' dollars in doing so.

This is unconscionable. Apparently no one has brought a suit against the sex/gender EO yet. That needs to happen stat—anyone know anyone at ACLU? This must be challenged.

Late last week, George Washington
University (GWU) cancer researcher Mandi Pratt-Chapman received a shocking phone call. Because of an executive order by President Donald Trump that has widely disrupted research related to gender or diversity being done by federal workers or U.S.-funded scientists, she and her colleagues had been ordered to immediately stop work on a large-scale cancer study funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). The project, which explores the best ways to collect information on sexual orientation and gender identity of cancer patients, was already one-third of the way through data collection.
