Last night, King Donald issued orders gutting seven agencies, including Voice of America’s parent.

In addition to Voice of America, the Agency for Global Media funds Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Radio Free Asia -- the media outlets provide unbiased news to audiences around the world -- the other agencies Mr. Trump targeted Friday are the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, which works to prevent and resolve work stoppages and labor disputes; the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, a nonpartisan think tank; the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which funds and supports museums, libraries and archives; the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, which works to prevent and end homelessness; the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, which provides financial assistance to struggling communities; and the Minority Business Development Agency, which aims to bolster minority-owned businesses.

Well, you gotta' offset those billionaires' tax cuts somewhere and where better than on the backs of the homeless, minority-owned businesses, libraries, and labor, amirite?
