    This is so surprising since I live under a rock and assumed that Republicans were serious about promoting mental health to prevent school shootings

    Mental health didn't mean mental health, apparently.

    But they used the money for woke. The Deputy Assistant Secretary to the Regional Manager said so.

    I was hoping this was a billion dollar program to get kids off psych meds.

    Trump could not care less if a bunch of rural blacks get sick and die. One step closer to the Master Race, Part Deux.

    Can't be sure, but I'm guessing that MAGA won't care too much either. I guess we'll see how many of them express their deep lament that these people will suffer.

    They were pretty silent about the probably millions of people who will die due to the relatively paltry annual sum of $30B in net US foreign aid being cancelled, and without even a phase-out at that.

    On the bright side, at least, rich people should soon get another tax cut.
