Yes, this is true DOGE knew *exactly* what USAID resources were used for & where those resources went to: health & humanitarian assistance to women & children in low- & middle-income countries Here are 20 projects that Musk killed He knew exactly what he was doing apnews.com/article/usai...

USAID cuts are already hitting countries around the world. Here are 20 projects that have closed
Countries around the world already are feeling the impact of the Trump administration’s decision to eliminate more than 90% of foreign aid contracts and cut some $60 billion in funding.

Love voting early. Love voting by mail. Love voting at my kitchen table. Love that I get a little "I voted" sticker with my ballot, even when voting at home.
A hand holds an “I voted” sticker next to a ballot envelope. The sticker is round. The top half is green, and says, “I voted!” in white letters, chunky font, all caps. The bottom half is blue, and says “Ann Arbor, MI” in a similarly chunky font. The center of the sticker has a large green tree with a blue trunk, which mimics the city flag.

Not pictured: the delighted owner of the sticker, who thinks voting is the coolest thing ever.

When Musk AND Rubio said “not a single person” died as a result of shutting down USAID, I wanted to vomit An estimated 700,000 people died (500,000 were kids) within a year of USAID being “put in the wood-chipper” Studies by Brooke Nichols at BU and by CGD researchers estimated a similar number

Far right Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his cabinet have voted to designate the U.S.’s leading Muslim civil rights group as a “domestic terrorist organization,” threatening to shutter and impose severe penalties on the group and its state affiliate.

Another way of making this point: The wheels may be coming off the Trump administration and the authoritarian movement energizing it. But a large tractor-trailer barreling down a highway at full speed whose wheels come loose is very dangerous to innocent people in the vicinity.

The only path forward is an openly antagonistic press. No more delicately navigating access. No more attending press conferences or avails. All investigation. All amplifying Trump admin defectors and detractors. Call out the bullshit. Stop being polite.
Trump truth social post: I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW (who recently changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility!), and Politico (The recipients of an illegal and ridiculous $8 Million Dollar subscription, an All Time Record, directly from the United States Government, under Crooked Joe Biden, in order to keep them “alive.” Seems like corruption to me!), from the White House as a result of their constant “reporting” FAKE NEWS! Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America. Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
