The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has cancelled $4 million in contracts that were designed to foster Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs within the agency.
In an interview this morning on Fox News, HUD Secretary Scott Turner stated the contracts “were supposed to be for cultural transformation and outward mindset thinking, and subscription services.” Turner said the money saved from the terminated DEI contracts “should go to serve the American people,” adding “DEI here at HUD is dead.”
Since taking office, Turner has welcomed the staff from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to his agency, reporting the new DOGE task force has already generated $260 million in savings while locating $1.9 billion in misplaced funds.
“Those funds were supposed to be used for administrative services that help us carry out the services here at HUD,” Turner continued. “And when you don’t use those funds, they don’t just go to the next year. You’re supposed to notify the Department of Treasury that these funds are now available for other federal expenditures. And that did not happen. It was great mismanagement and negligence over the past few years from the Biden administration.”
The times they are a changin
The funds will be going to a select group . The goal for Turner is to prioritize HUD. Not helping the low to moderate income citizens.
Why am I not surprised. Mismanagement under Biden/Harris. They didn’t give a damn about the American people they were supposed to serve and protect. All they cared about was filling their pockets with funds that served real purposes.
So true!
Liz seriously? Biden Harris filling their pockets? Trump and his Crypto? Trump and his Saudi ties for real estate? Musk and his 8 billion dollars in contracts with the government as he slashes the departments that are looking into his fraud? Yeah it was Biden and Harris. Hey what did you pay for eggs this week? How’s that inflation doing? Wait wasn’t your ole buddy Trump supposed to bring this down on DAY ONE?? What Biden and Harris did was care about ALL Americans not just the rich white ones. Again targeting HUD which helps low income and people of color, 2 things Trump is against. Hey wait was Turner a DEI hire?? His skin doesn’t match Trump’s. He must have just licked his boots extra hard.
Just so surprising to me the people here who don’t care or have any compassion for their fellow citizens. UNITED States of America remember? but next thing is Trump will be trying to change it to DIVIDED States of America because that is what he is doing. If we have a country in 4 years after this swamp keeper and all of his swamp monsters are done it will be a miracle.
You are spot on.
DITTO!!!!!
They killed those birds before Trump took office. It takes up to 8 months for hatchlings to be able to lay eggs to make up all those chickens. Egg prices need about 8-10 months.
I’m pretty sure that Biden had already accomplished the change to DIVIDED STATES OF AMERICA on his watch, otherwise we wouldn’t have Trump in the White House.
And just exactly what do these biased, polarized comments accomplish, besides doing more to divide the people of this Country..?
Chickens pay absolutely no attention to the scarcity, or the price of eggs, and apparently certain people can’t understand this…
Deb, thanks for telling it the way it is.
The world is healing
