“there is certainly no shortage of us who are attorneys or at least former attorneys on this floor. One of the things, of course, is when we hear information, we want to run it down and sometimes correct the record. My good friend from Maryland pointed out about some sort of cuts from DOGE that would affect law enforcement, so I immediately wanted to look and see what he possibly could be talking about. I think what the gentleman was talking about were a couple things. One was getting rid of a $250,000 grant, funding for jailed trans inmates working with incarcerated transgender individuals providing gender-affirming care to include housing in gender-appropriate facilities. Actually, I think that is a pretty good thing to get rid of so we can put more resources in to helping law enforcement. Next is $2 million for some sort of national listening session for, as I understand it, criminal defendants. Then we have $695,000 for a parallel convergent mixed-methods case study. I don't even know what that means, a parallel convergent mixed-methods case study research designed to assess the efficacy of police departments' LGBTQ liaison services. I think one of the things with this reconciliation bill and with the actions of President Trump is to get rid of the waste and to put the resources to helping our men and women in law enforcement.”
