Summary

The Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued a memo prioritizing federal funding for communities with marriage and birth rates above the national average.

The directive, which applies to grants, loans, and contracts, also prioritizes projects benefiting families with young children.

A congressional aide criticized the policy, saying, “Considering fertility rates when prioritizing federal grants? We obviously have no idea what the full impact of that will be… It’s absolutely creepy. It’s a little ‘Chinese government.’”

The memo also blocks mask mandates and requires compliance with immigration enforcement.

    All of America is the victim here, but somehow dimwits like you think it’s the fault of individual voters instead of our shared responsibility to demand better from our politicians. The DNC is responsible for winning votes, period. And they failed miserably.

    Anyway you’re obviously rage baiting at this point. Do better, demand better, and maybe there’s a chance to turn things around.
