Nice visualization. Unfortunately the domain it's blocked on my work network for some reason. Hopefully others don't have the same problem.

Short summary in case you cannot access the site:
The DOGE cuts represent <1% of federal spending. They are targeted for political messaging and stoking culture wars, not for reducing the deficit or cutting the size of government. Which shouldn't be surprising to anyone.

Odd that it’s blocked. You’re right that it shouldn’t be surprising.

I thought it was novel how there are scale options to make the data more digestible for non-mathematical people.

It's likely no fault of your own with the site being blocked. As it is a new website no one has been able to take a look at it to classify it.

What's the bobby Hill meme? They would be mad if they could read?
