The Trump DOJ canceled grants for gun violence prevention, opioid addiction treatment, and victim advocacy—because saving lives doesn’t “align” with their priorities. These are the same folks claiming to make our streets safer.
The Justice Department on Tuesday canceled hundreds of grants to community organizations and local governments, including funding for gun-violence prevention programs, crime-victim advocacy and efforts to combat opioid addiction, according to an email obtained by The Post.
DOJ cancels grants for gun-violence and addiction prevention, victim advocacy
In an email to staff, the head of the Justice Department’s Office of Justice Programs said the canceled grants don’t align with Trump administration priorities.

I know some people don't like Dean Blundell, but he nails it here.
I believe this is exactly what happened.
This is precisely why you put an economist and former central banker in charge during this era.

Rand Paul: "We have to start from talking about the truth. One of the things they say with Canada is, 'Oh, there's a 270% tariffs on dairy products going from the US into Canada.' Well you know what the real tariffs is? Zero. That's a big difference between what the truth is."

Today, while the market collapsed and four soldiers who died on an exercise in Lithuania arrived at Dover, where was Donald Trump? Was he monitoring the markets? Was he there for the arrival of these heroes?
Nope: he was golfing, with the Saudis

Here's how it works:
1. DOGE fires everybody at USIP.
2. A DOGE guy from GSA gets installed USIP's acting president.
3. That guy agrees to transfer USIP's $500 million headquarters back to GSA—for free.

This is Mark Carney yesterday delivering a political throat punch to both Danielle Smith and Pierre Polievre. Danielle Smith is on recording offering Canada up on a SILVER PLATTER to Donald fucking Trump. This is nothing short of treason on her part, and Mark had something to say about that.

So let me get this straight—Trump’s nat sec adviser added a JOURNALIST to a group chat on classified Yemen strike plans?? This isn’t a group project, it’s national security.
They screamed “Lock her up” over emails, but leaking war plans is cool now? Make it make sense.
