The New York Times reports:
President Trump on Friday unveiled his budget for the 2026 fiscal year, proposing about $163 billion in cuts to key federal education, health, housing and labor programs while still seeking to boost spending on defense. The budget proposes massive cuts at the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but it includes $500 million for Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s signature initiative: Make America Healthy Again. The C.D.C.’s budget would be cut by more than half, to $4 billion from roughly $9 billion.
Education spending would fall by $12 billion under Mr. Trump’s 2026 blueprint, with the most significant cut coming from a plan to “streamline” Title I money for high-poverty schools and other K-12 programs. The Trump budget proposed cutting more than $500 million from the F.B.I., declaring that the administration “is committed to undoing the weaponization” of the agency that it said occurred under the Biden administration. Even as many domestic programs see budget cuts, Mr. Trump’s 2026 plan proposes increasing military spending by 13 percent, to $1.01 trillion for 2026.

Donald Trump’s days of pretending to be a populist are over.
His policies are nothing short of an all out assault on hardworking Americans.
