BREAKING: CNN just aired this devastating montage of all the times Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham said that USAID was vital to America’s national security interests. Just another example showing how spineless Rubio and Graham really are.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

BREAKING NEWS: Republican Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas has split with his party to admonish the reckless and illegal shutdown on USAID: Moran says the aggressive change at the USAID office shut down left $340 million in lifesaving food grown in the United States sitting at domestic ports, waiting to be delivered to various destinations where people are STARVING. "Time is running out before this lifesaving aid perishes," Moran said. "Food stability is essential to political stability, and our food aid programs help feed the hungry, bolster our national security and provide an important market for our farmers, especially when commodity prices are low." This is not a democratic vs. republican issue. This is a humanitarian issue! Thank you Senator Moran for speaking out!

China and Russia are very happy right now!

"This is the “no more wars account” and “beat China account” yet we are unilaterally ceding the stage to our rivals by cutting off programs that are .4% of the entire budget..." Tragic - USAID is investment in US future - building allies, markets, peace (vs military expenses.)

Dmitry Medvedev, the former President of Russia and the Deputy Chair of the Security Council, endorses Elon Musk’s plans for USAID. The Russian government has long hated USAID, accusing it of, among other things, interfering in internal matters by supporting group that support free elections, transparency, and human rights. And funding NGO’s that have been critical of the Russian government.

NEW: Musk just said on X broadcast that he asked Trump for buy-in on shutting down USAID and Trump agreed to “shut it down”

Calling all Members of Congress: Reform, Don’t Retreat! China, Russia and our other rivals are gleeful right now. Travel anywhere in the world and our rivals are everywhere! Yet we just shut down @USAID, one our premier tools of national security, not to mention humanitarian assistance and support of allies. This is the “no more wars account” and “beat China account” yet we are unilaterally ceding the stage to our rivals by cutting off programs that are .4% of the entire budget and delivering for the 🇺🇸 people. #ReformDONTRetreat
