    Critics question lack of transparency and fund reallocation

    Social media users raised concerns about the administration's failure to disclose where the blocked funding would go, and questioned whether the money would be redirected to political allies or other administration priorities.

    “The "most transparent" admin. never says where the money goes every time it cancels a contract.”

    • Yesterday, Trump blocked $25 million already approved for national parks like Yellowstone, Yosemite, Zion, and Joshua Tree, over 130 projects, rejected, with no warning. Interior's excuse? These groups are supposedly "working against the best interests of the American people."

      The “most transparent” admin. never says where the money goes every time it cancels a contract. This time - $25 million. If we could follow the money, how much would go to Trumpers who can’t even install a pool liner? To Hegseth’s bombs? To jet Bobby Junior to campaign rallies? Answer? All of it. https://www. washingtonpost.com/climate-env…
