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 blueprint showcased Mr. Trump’s conservative vision for Washington while formalizing his disruptive reorganization already underway, as he shutters entire offices and dismisses scores of federal workers without the explicit approval of Congress.

Here’s what else to know:
  • Major health cutbacks: 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.
  • Significant reduction in education: 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.
  • Major changes to the F.B.I.: 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
  • A boost in defense: 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.
  • Safety net cuts: Mr. Trump proposed slashing some federal safety net programs, confirming early budget documents reviewed last week by The New York Times. Those recommended cuts include trimming more than $26 billion in federal rental assistance.
Cutting this, cutting that, cutting all of it... but spending more on Military and surprisingly one of the things they apparently don't wanna touch is police force budgets? I wonder what that could mean...

Greenland would be a war of attrition and a very mountainous region. Natives of Greenland not only have more extensive knowledge of the terrain, but in a strategic sense, they have the advantage in terms of being able to pick their battles very carefully if push comes to shove.

The Trump administration announced Monday it would give migrants a $1,000 payment if they “self-deport” using a government app.

The announcement from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) called the funds a way to “facilitate travel back to their home country” that will be paid once their return has been confirmed through the CBP Home app.

It’s an unusual strategy but one the Trump administration argues could save money, pegging the current cost of arrest, detention and removal of migrants at more than $17,000.
