Trump Seeks 90% Cut for Already Underfunded Tribal Colleges
(www.commondreams.org)
The cruelty is the point
Racism is the hilt of the knife
Comicbook villain territory
nothing says America first like fucking over every last citizen you possibly can
The tribes in AZ swung AZ for Biden. He's nothing if not consistent in fucking over people who oppose him.
I don’t understand. Why don’t they just go for 100% if it’s what they want… what’s the point of leaving the 10%?
There may be intricacies regarding having to provide some funding, so it's easy to just cut it instead of jumping through hoops to remove it. It might be just for the optics of saying they didn't remove funding, they just reduced it to "prevent fraud" and then they never mention that they reduced by 90%. Maybe so that if it goes over well with their base they can cut it again for some extra bump in the news cycle. I do wish the article mentioned if there was a mandatory requirement for funding though.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!
