Guillfoyle was pretty clearly trading on her connection with Trump to solicit payments in order to help a Republican donor get the IRS to quash a tax dispute. Massively corrupt! We used to take this sort of shit seriously!

The Trump admin (specifically Russell Vought) violated the Impoundment Control Act when it decimated AHRQ last year, leaving $78M in Congressionally appropriated funds on the table. Vought did it again last month. As we look toward new leadership in 2027, we need accountability. impeachvought.com

Small addendum: It's tricky to see what precisely SBE did fund in FY26 because almost everything was relabeled as 'cross-directorate activities'—a catch-all for directorate-wide funding. This plot, though, gives a sense of how many program areas (30+) SBE had previously funded and how they were cut.
Plot shows new grants in basically every area of SBE going to zero in 2026. Note that there is some double counting as some grants are in multiple areas. (e.g. Sociology and Economics)
