Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Opinion: Mamdani’s proposed Department of Community Safety would be a win for New Yorkers

The proposal is well-grounded in existing best practices, and there is wide support for it among the public and City Council.

He bulldozed the White House during a government shutdown to build himself a ballroom, then sent a letter to the states saying that SNAP benefits for 42 million people may not go out in November to those who rely on it to eat.
