2026-04-03 Trump made deep cuts to the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and recommended cutting it entirely while simultaneously demanding $1.5T in defense spending to support Israels war. He stated, “It’s not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual…things. They can do it on a State basis. You can’t do it on a Federal – we have to take care of one thing: military protection. We have to guard the country”.
