Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : "This is just the beginning," Trump continued in that speech, putting other federal agencies on notice.
62% : "Good working with you," Musk wrote on X. "The important parts of USAID should always have been with Dept. of State.
59% : Trump highlighted many of the federal spending projects uncovered by DOGE during his joint address to Congress last week.
38% : " Many of his critiques drew laughter from attendees, such as when he pointed to federal spending of "$40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants," quipping that "Nobody knows what that is." While not all of Trump's examples were U.S. tax dollars going overseas, many were, such as "$8 million to promote LGBTQI+ in the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of," another laugh line, or "$60 million for Indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment in Central America.
36% : (The Center Square) - Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday that 83% of contracts at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) have been officially cancelled.
31% : "Just listen to some of the appalling waste we have already identified," Trump told lawmakers on both sides of the aisle during the televised address.
16% : Trump went on to rattle off more than a dozen examples from "$22 billion from HHS to provide free housing and cars for illegal aliens" to "$45 million for diversity, equity, and inclusion scholarships in Burma.
