Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, September 26, 2025

Billions in taxpayer dollars have become virtually untraceable -- a level of opaqueness in government funds that's raising questions around the legality of the administration's actions. Some of these taxpayer funds expire on Sept. 30. If they're not spent by then, like all funds Congress appropriated specifically for 2025, they disappear. NOTUS attempted to trace the money appropriated for more than 100 government programs to understand where taxpayer dollars are going, only to hit dead ends repeatedly.

More from the cited article ...

... It was mid-September when Sen. Lisa Murkowski discovered that the Trump administration had pulled education funding for institutions serving Alaskan and Hawaiian Natives.

It was close to $350 million, "that we just found out about," she told NOTUS last week, as Congress sat in a stalemate over how to prevent a government shutdown.

The Department of Education announced the change on Sept. 10, stating that the funding intended for those programs would be repurposed for other unspecified education programs.

Murkowski said she has no idea where the money is going.

Across federal agencies, the Trump administration's aggressive slash-and-burn approach to federal programs, grants and contracts has repeatedly challenged Congress' power of the purse.

The administration has claimed it has the discretion to redirect funds to programs aligned with Trump's agenda -- and Republican congressional leaders have largely let them do it.

The outcome: Billions in taxpayer dollars have become virtually untraceable -- a level of opaqueness in government funds that's raising questions around the legality of the administration's actions. ...

You are an idiot and posts like this one solidify it.

Here's the break down on fundraising prior to the 2024 election.

"The Harris campaign, including the preceding Biden operation and allied groups, raised approximately $2.9 billion, compared to about $1.8 billion for Trump and his allied groups, for a total of $4.7 billion across both sides. This marked a significant fundraising advantage for Democrats, with Harris personally raising over $1 billion in under four months after entering the race in July 2024, setting records like the largest quarterly haul ever at $1 billion from July to September"
