What better way to save the kids than to cancel Elmo and Big Bird while championing assault rifles? Also, why give kids more toys and pencils when we can give rich people more tax cuts?
Surely, this is how we win the children and educate our next generation to be competitive and informed, especially as we gut public schools, ban novels, and cancel DEI initiatives. The “pro-life” party is perfectly fine sacrificing our young and vulnerable if it means advancing their never-ending culture war and obtaining tax cuts for the most privileged on Earth.
Some Americans have been made aware that the Trump Administration’s gutting of USAID will result in the deaths of thousands of children around the world. The Republican assault on the Department of Education and culling of federal jobs has also been in the news. Unfortunately, there are now hundreds of recorded cases of measles thanks to MAGA’s attacks on science and vaccines, courtesy of RFK JR., our new Director of Health and Human Services.
However, this only touches the surface. Digging a bit deeper, investigative reporter Eli Hager of Pro Publica has uncovered how the GOP has been quietly and effectively cutting funds that directly protect our children, including weakening services that investigate child abuse, enforce child support payments, provide fresh food and clean water to students, and offer child care for working parents.
In this Chai Tak, which was equally horrifying and infuriating for me as a parent, Hager joins The Left Hook to unpack his reporting and explain in detail how DOGE’s cuts are harming American children.
