The Department of Labor (DOL) and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cut 25 diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) grants, saving $8.4 million that would have been spent on fostering inclusive environments for “gender-expansive people” and other “woke” initiatives.
The DOL and DOGE on Tuesday announced that they had canceled $13.6 million in DEI grants, which DOGE said included:
*!$716k for “DEIA materials, training modules, and support networks” * $398k for “gender equity awareness training” * $350k to “migrant sending or receiving communities”
A source familiar said that the grants included funding other controversial programs, including:
* An equity summit to foster inclusive working environments that are safe for women and “gender-expansive people,” particularly those of color, those with disabilities or neurodivergence, transgender people, and those underrepresented in tech.
* A program for underrepresented communities through Greater Houston, Texas, including women of color, those with disabilities, justice-involved women, immigrant women, transgender women, and more.
* A pre-apprentice program and “nontraditional job training program” in Biloxi, Mississippi for women, transgender women, and non-binary individuals in the Gulf Coast region.
* A DEI program to expand recruitment to historically underrepresented communities in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and southwestern Pennsylvania, including women of color, women with disabilities, justice-involved women, the LGBTQI+, and immigrant women.
* A program to address climate change and a means to mitigate the impacts of racial, social, and economic justices on vulnerable communities.

Gender expansive people?????
Those poor transgenders. They may have to go F-themselves.
I wonder throughout the years how much of our tax dollars have been wasted on similar “grants.”
Shucks. I will go and praise God!
My 92.5-year-old heart may not be able to stand many more of these MAGA orgasms...
PURE GOBBELDYGOOK
DOGE needs to randomly select 50 grants under $100,000 and see IF ANY of the goals were reached among the high sounding ones used to get the grant in the first place.
Many ‘grants’ are slush fund rewards for political favors.
Don’t know what “gender-expansive” means but saving that money is always a win for the taxpayers.
Winning
Ok...
Enough...
Let’s put a per taxpayer price on this crap instead of lump sum, to let us know how much WE actually pay...
Like, 6.39 per taxpayer...
Make it so we know how much WE contribute to this nonsense
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Is a “justice-involved woman” just a woman who has committed a crime? Or does it have some other meaning?
It means a female criminal.
In other words, just another euphemism.
GOOD!
