I would love to know how many of the friends and buddies of these liberal Representatives get to enrich themselves at the US Taxpayers expense?

Here’s just one example from the link:
According to the report, researchers would strap kittens to a table, where they are spun around in several directions and have holes drilled into their skulls to keep them in place — “and it’s all being done with your money,” Paul writes in the report. “More than one and a half million dollars of it.”

The wonders of modern science.
End sarcasm.
If there is a way to be cruel to cute cuddly little animals our government will be funding it.

Makes me wonder what they were trying to research. Cause I’m failing to think of what drilling rods through cats’ heads could possibly help you research or solve any problems?

Right. DOGE can’t come soon enough!!
Rand Paul isn’t the only one who releases a pork list each year. But in the past, about all they’ve been good for were sources for comedians.
Year after year, porking has proceeded unabated. Even though the porkers know everyone is watching. Even though they show up on lists like Rand Paul’s. Porking marches on.
My hope – my New Years Wish – is that DOGE provides the gravitas to start cutting some of these that are already in place, and the political SHAME not to bring such pork to the table in the first place.
Just the shadow of DOGE seemed to stop the pork in the Continuing Resolution. It doesn’t even exist yet, except in concept, yet that porkage was dropped like a hot potato once Vivek and Elon spoke up. The media don’t give a crap about Rand Paul, but Musk and R’wamy just have to sneeze to get media attention, And that played out perfectly with the CR. You didn’t see the media fawn over any politicians’ objections to the pork, except to suggest that they are getting in the way, or they are owned by V&M or something.
Let’s have DOGE point at things. Let the beneficiaries and supporters argue their merits. Maybe they ARE of value. With DOGE holding the spotlight, we all get to see what’s in that governmental salad.

I’ll never get over how ■■■■■■■lazy some people are. The name of the report is in the article. Take 10 seconds out of your pitiful little life and plug it in Google. Damn. Took longer to hit reply and type that post than to actually look it up.
Oh, and before you then want someone to then point to where the part you’re wanting to call ■■■■■■■■on about the kittens is for you, it’s on page 30.

More from the link:
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reportedly gave New York University (NYU) over $400,000 to study whether lonely rats seek cocaine more than rats who are in positive environments, while the Department of the Interior (DOI) allocated $12 million to fund a pickleball complex in Las Vegas, according to the report.
You can’t make this ■■■■up. How do these Dem politicians find all this way to piss away taxpayers dollars? It’s honestly ■■■■■■■bizarre.

I wouldn’t mind DOGE pointing the spotlight at THE WALL.
Let the merits and stats and details be stated in a light that the MSM cannot quench.
It might be the best $6billion this nation spends. Or $60billion if that’s what it takes. Or it may be the worst. Let it all get vetted somewhere other that internet chatrooms that are agendized toward one result or another.
Another smartest guy in the room lib exposed…
Thank you

I’ll bet there are layers upon layers of agencies between the initial allocation of some larger appropriation for “medical research”, and the final spurt to fund some minor college’s obscure research. I think it’s the same thing regarding the funding flow from the larger National Endowment for the Arts through all the tributaries that finally get it to the dancing drag queen fairies on stilts.

Gotta be a lib, read beyond the Fox News headline to know this wasn’t all Biden.
This has been going on for decades with minimal to no oversight.
It’s been published since 2016 but at least we now have DOGE to take care of what was already being done.
No.
I took “what was already being done” to mean the making of lists of wasteful spending.
And more than Rand Paul has been doing that.
Ok.
…
Thanks Elon and Vivek
