I don't think most people who are wailing and gnashing their teeth at DOGE's government cuts realize that most Americans don't see any value to a group like the Institute of Museum and Library Services. So its planned decommissioning seems very reasonable in an age when every dollar could be spent in myriad ways. 

I mean--where would Dems prefer the money to go? To elections and matching funds, or to a small group that isn't directly helping Dems get elected? (And do we know if any graft has been located in this group?)

Minitrue is a real thing. Yet nobody wants to believe it because Minitrue says it's a conspiracy theory.

You never hear about the tariffs other countries put on US goods. Minitrue makes it seem Trump is putting tariffs on just to be mean and not that they are reciprocal.

Coffee and Covid had a good summary on it too.
