1. defund

   Funding is the act of providing resources to finance a need, program, or project. While this is usually in the form of money, it can also take the form of effort or time from an organization or company. Generally, this word is used when a firm uses its internal reserves to satisfy its necessity for cash, while the term financing is used when the firm acquires capital from external sources.Sources of funding include credit, venture capital, donations, grants, savings, subsidies, and taxes. Fundings such as donations, subsidies, and grants that have no direct requirement for return of investment are described as "soft funding" or "crowdfunding". Funding that facilitates the exchange of equity ownership in a company for capital investment via an online funding portal per the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (alternately, the "JOBS Act of 2012") (U.S.) is known as equity crowdfunding. Funds can be allocated for either short-term or long-term purposes.

Examples of DEFUND in a Sentence

1. James Carville:

   Don't just look at Virginia and New Jersey, look at Long Island, look at Buffalo, look at Minneapolis, even look at Seattle, Washington. I mean, this' defund the police' lunacy, this take Abraham Lincoln's name off of schools. I mean that — people see that.

2. Mitch McConnell:

   This far-left Black Lives Matter activist and defund-the-police cheerleader walked into a Jewish Democrat’s campaign headquarters and opened fire, but guess what: He’s already been let out of jail. He's already been let out of jail.

3. Don Samuels:

   When the announcement was made to defund the police … that just opened the doors to a level of mayhem where taboos were erased, standards were no longer acknowledged because only the cops could be wrong – a citizen couldn’t be wrong, and so, the naivete of the leadership to not understand how the lawless community would exploit their announcement was maddening.

4. Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images:

   It's very telling that the Democrats will pay lip service to police but when it comes time to back the blue, they walk away because they don't support the police, they embrace the defund the police movement, and they can't stand up to the radical left who really wants to undermine police all across America. I think it's disgraceful.

5. Ted Cruz:

   Not only has she made her disgust for law enforcement clear by her repeated calls to defund the police, she has a history of not only excusing, but celebrating criminals who have murdered police officers, the Department of Justice has a long history of being apolitical, of exercising fidelity to the law, of not using the law as a partisan weapon to target enemies of whatever administration is in power. The Obama-Biden administration corrupted that practice, and now the Biden-Harris administration is continuing that pattern.
