“The Biden administration’s lack of action and its emphasis on priorities outside of buildings has created an unprecedented backlog of grants. We give them the right to look closer,” a department spokesperson told callers.
“Americans want to see less taxes that subsidize awakened day ideology, a radical Green New Deal project, or other wasteful programs. Grants focused on easing grants and strengthening safety will be a priority for President Trump and Secretary Duffy,” the spokesman added.
Other agencies have started eradicating the DEI program following Trump’s first day executive order targeting such initiatives in the federal government. In February, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Federal Investigation Agency (FBI), and the National Security Agency (NSA) began to start cleaning such programs from their agencies.
