... "Future committee activities will be focused solely on advancing our critical mission to protect the homeland and support DHS's strategic priorities." ...

Wait, what?

That looks like the usual government mambo-jumbo that Pres Trump seemed to have railed against.

 
And now his administration is spouting it?

Homeland Security was BushJr's gift to America.

Now Trump is shutting it down.

Why?

Possibly as a favor to Putin.

Perhaps to help pass his tax cut.

Why?

I'll take "Lewzer has no idea what he's doing" for $100.

Pretty sure he's just green lighting whatever project 2025 tells him to.

Without question. His only concern with any issue is whether or not it will get his name in the news if he signs off on it.

I know this is newer but in all honest the work of the committees is actually kind of a big deal. What was just shut down was doing EXACTLY what they stated the future activities would be. IMHO they were doing good work for all Americans. This came into being because China. Because Russia. Because North Korea. Because Iran. etc.

He's deliberately undermining our nation. The reasons aren't completely clear.. yet.
