Summary

A leaked TSA email suggests funding for bomb-sniffing dogs has been halted under Elon Musk.

The email states that vet visits, kenneling, and food are "put on hold" until further guidance.

TSA deploys over 1,000 canine teams, with training costing $33,000 per dog.

The funding freeze contradicts Trump’s "tough on crime" stance and coincided with the White House celebrating "K9 Veterans Day."

Millions of DNC voters stayed home in the 2024 election and known pro-billionaire convicted felon Donald Trump won the presidency.

Now that still technically doesn't give him the power to create a new office. Instead, they kicked everyone out of the digital services office and changed the sign on the door to DOGE. Now that STILL didn't give him power over other offices and the budget, so they've instead been working alongside traitors in the treasury and fighting the courts over legitimacy of their firings and funding freezes.

I heard republicans canceled many votes tirelessly looking for small mistakes

There absolutely was voter suppression, a voter deregistration campaign, and thrown out votes but sadly it wasn't anywhere near a close enough race for those votes to make a difference. Trump won by millions, and theres a much bigger difference between Harris and Biden 2020's numbers to the tune of 7 Million votes.

That's not fraud or corruption. Thats low turnout.
