Pam Bondi, the U.S. Attorney General, announced that the Department of Justice has initiated efforts to eliminate millions of dollars in what she described as "wasteful" grant spending. This announcement was made in a post on X.
Bondi revealed that among the millions of dollars being cut by the Department of Justice, notable examples include $2 million for "national listening sessions with individuals who have lived experience," $695,000 for "a parallel convergent mixed-methods case study on the effectiveness of police departments' LGBTQ liaison services," and $250,000 for "supporting incarcerated transgender individuals with gender-affirming care, including placement in gender-appropriate housing."
According to an April 2025 Harvard-Harris Poll, 69% of voters support "undertaking a full-scale effort to find and eliminate fraud and waste in government expenditures," while only 31% support slashing $1 trillion in federal spending. A majority also favor balancing the federal budget, reducing overall expenditures, and conducting a comprehensive review of current government spending.
