"To get congressionally approved dollars out the door, all HHS funding opportunities must first clear an AI screening which flags certain keywords that the sinister Trumpf junta finds unacceptable, such as culture, harm reduction, gender and transgender. Then they're sent to an HHS apparatchik for financial review for approval before going to good-for-nothing Robert F. Kennedy's office.

The final step is outside HHS altogether: The White House's Office of Management and Budget must give a final sign-off before all funding opportunities are approved."

The US government has billions and billions of dollars to waste on war, a White House ballroom, underground bunker, refurbishing a 747 jumbo-jet, DHS and ICE, but pennies towards our healthcare. And this austerity is hurting Americans now, before the ominous effects of the Big Beautiful Bill' sink in later this year.
