DOGE “Wall of Receipts” data downloaded using the DOGE API found here: [https://api.doge.gov/docs](https://api.doge.gov/docs)
Location/additional grant information accessed using the USA Spending API, documentation found here: [https://api.usaspending.gov/](https://api.usaspending.gov/)
**Process:**
When downloading the DOGE data, most of the grant information is removed, including the location of the recipient and the place of performance. DOGE does provide a permalink to the corresponding grant in USA Spending. I used R to download all the DOGE cancelled grants with the DOGE API, then I used the USA Spending API and the permalink provided by DOGE to match each individual DOGE cancellation with its extended information, like place of performance or recipient type. Map was made in ArcGIS Pro. This map includes only cancelled grants, not cancelled leases or contracts.
The colors are too similar to distinguish all the gradations.
DOGE has managed to make a congressional district out of the Great Lakes.
As a Michigander, can I ask wtf is that?
These always need to be “per-capita”

what did Michigan ever do to you?!?
It looks like UNC(?) lost some major research funding. Any idea what that is?
A few suggestions:
1. Make the “no data” color something very different as it is currently difficult to distinguish between the lowest bracket and the no data counties. You have the entire rainbow to work with.
2. Is there a particular point you are trying to make with this? My mind is trying to make some geographical or political story out of this. If that is what you’re trying to do, perhaps a companion plot showing partisan lean or current house representation. Or maybe a scatter plot of partisan lean vs DOGE cuts. I could come up with a dozen more, but you get the picture- show us what you’re trying to show us.
3. I am curious about base rates here. The absolute monetary value matters, but there may be some skew if there is an underlying unbalance in grant funding. It would be interesting to see this same plot as a percentage of funding cut.
I was worried this would be extremely partisan. it actually isn’t.
Research triangle park getting gutted cause science is for losers
I live in Michigan and excuse me whaaaaaat
Swing populations in swing states.
Yes. Fuck my district in NC in particular. RTI, Duke, UNC, EPA, NC State, NC Central, hospitals, NIOSH… and those are just the ones I know about.
So maybe it was a bad time to buy a house in RTP?
Did I miss something, or did Hawai’i add a bunch of new islands?
I think the MN CD7 cuts of planned Parenthood is more than a million. It was $250k just to set up the one in Alexandria. This data seems very conservative. (Small c conservative)
Lmaooo
Imagine promising 2 trillion in savings… and WASTE, FRAUD, and ABUSE.
Then only coming up 30 billion in cuts if that?
I live next to UCSD. It’s a bloodbath up there.
It’s crazy living in a manufacturing state and having to sign a petition to ask the government not to cut our funding.
What is going on in northern Nevada… what got cut up there?
I live in NC district 4 AMA. ☠️
Super interesting map! Are you taking the DOGE “data” at face value? If so, a better title would probably be “claimed DOGE cuts,” given how many have been shown to be bogus or overstated.
So fuck Alaska I guess.
This seemed to hit Republican strongholds the hardest.
My county had a grant to remove dying trees and replace them. They made decent progress until the grant was revoked. Additionally, they had a grant to replace a lot of the dated technology used in the police department and that grant was revoked.
