That looks like a band-it strap puller/tightener.

I forget what the actual name is, but it can latch onto a metal strip and pull it tight around some digs to keep boxes and canisters in place, or to hold a strong back repair plate on a damaged pipe

You forget that their plans for an “overhaul” of any given program amounts to nothing more than cutting funding and hoping they can pull the wool over their constituents eyes with some new atrocity long enough to make everyone forget about how worse off their lives are now.
