from the people who gave you this https://time.com/6971773/kristi-noem-memoir-dog-kill-children-net-worth/ 🤮 🤢 🤮
Saving 3m by hurting domestic abuse victims while blowing 45m on a fucking parade. Wonderful.
Id worry more avout the fact that you live in an authoritarian state, that’s decided to make an enemy of… let me check my notes… the rest of the planet.
we’re allowed to be concerned about all of the suffering and not just the major suffering.
This is so heartbreaking
The GOP spends so much energy on ways to be even more evil than they already are.

Why the fuck are they allowing them to put shit like this into a so-called budget bill?
They all just want to be good boys for Daddy.
If we read the article, we learn:
Tucked inside the 1,200-page appendix to the White House’s budget request to Congress is a proposal to eliminate a grant program, funded by the Agriculture Department and administered by the Department of Justice, that provides domestic violence shelters with money to support survivors’ pets. Advocates say the program, known as PAWS, helps fill a critical gap despite its relatively small budget of $3 million
So we see that it actually is a budget issue, nobody’s issuing a directive saying animals are banned at these shelters – the headline is misleading.
We also see that the proposed budget cut is $3 million, which works out to almost a whopping 2¢ per taxpayer in the US.
I’ll very gladly pay my $0.02 share to help domestic abuse survivors and their pets.
That’s not the point. The Republicans are not doing this to save money. They are doing this for ideological reasons, namely that domestic violence is fine and there shouldn’t be any domestic violence shelters, because women should be subjugated to their husbands no matter what.
Same
Thanks for adding context and hard evidence to the discussion. Fuck them twice as much for doing it this way. It’s the same amount of sabotage and half the accountability.
Who do you mean by “they”? The nazi fucks are themselves the ones in charge.
I think they are referring to the Democrats.
