— More public servants lose the ability to hold America hostage
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/sep/5/editorial-public-servants-lose-ability-hold-america-hostage/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump is uprooting the mechanisms Democrats deployed to enhance their political power with taxpayer funds. In a recent presidential memorandum, the president asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate the misuse of federal grants for political purposes. A sophisticated inquiry is required because non-governmental organizations often employ complex structures that launder through subgrantees the ultimate destination of Uncle Sam’s cash. With public sector unions, however, the politicization is overt.)
