Summary
A leaked TSA email suggests funding for bomb-sniffing dogs has been halted under Elon Musk.
The email states that vet visits, kenneling, and food are “put on hold” until further guidance.
TSA deploys over 1,000 canine teams, with training costing $33,000 per dog.
The funding freeze contradicts Trump’s “tough on crime” stance and coincided with the White House celebrating “K9 Veterans Day.”
Just here for my daily question of: How the fuck does this man have the authority to “order” fucking anything within my government?
Executive branch controls executive things. Voters elected orange man who likes elon.
Put simple, because people wanted this.
Millions of DNC voters stayed home in the 2024 election and known pro-billionaire convicted felon Donald Trump won the presidency.
Now that still technically doesn’t give him the power to create a new office. Instead, they kicked everyone out of the digital services office and changed the sign on the door to DOGE. Now that STILL didn’t give him power over other offices and the budget, so they’ve instead been working alongside traitors in the treasury and fighting the courts over legitimacy of their firings and funding freezes.
Well i can tolerate some things but starving dogs its not one of them
Beyond animal cruelty, you NEED bomb sniffing dogs! Holy shit! Do they realize that now potential bombers would have a huge upper hand in carrying explosives into airports? Why don’t they say ‘well those metal detectors and xray machines are too fancy’ and go back to the late 60s when there was a hijacking once every 5.6 DAYS.
That’s actually really shocking. I looked it up, and you’re correct. Hijackings were extremely common in the 60s and 70s.
The last time a major terrorist attack happened, the government got expansion of powers.
This is preparing for the next 9/11, reichstag-fire style.
And the dems will approve the Enabling Act.

if the patriot act is any indication, yes.
The one person who voted no to the Patriot Act was voted out next election.
Let that be a lesson to all Americans. The one person who voted to protect the freedoms of America was voted out because it looked bad on paper.
This might blow up in his face. In more than one way.
They want chaos to justify the suspension of all civil rights. Ask me how I know.
Sounds like those dogs should start letting bombs through to me.
Just because Republicans SHOOT their Puppies and DEFUND Dogs DOESNT mean they HATE Dogs!
Having dog handlers pay for the dogs they need for work is totally in line with having teachers pay for teaching tools.
This is some unhinged shit. Is it the drugs? Is it the Putin?
Putin. Not even once kids.
Failing to feed and look after animals you are responsible of is animal abuse and illegal.

All that’s going to happen is the people who the dogs live with will end up buying them food. As if they would starve a member of their family.
That didn’t sound like the best idea ever for someone using jets so often. That could blow up in his face.

I am sure that he doesn’t fly on commercial public transport.
