Another smirking, shitweasel kid appointed to decide what "DEI" is

He can't stop smirking. He thinks cancelling billions in lifesaving grants based on his pea-brained, smartass assessment is all a joke.

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

Part of a lawsuit by @acls1919.bsky.social, @modernlanguage.bsky.social + @historians.org

Lawyer: Did you have any idea of what you were doing?

Cavanaugh: Not a clue.
