The Save America Act must pass. It's Not That Complicated.

Memorandum for DOJ Employees on Prosecution of Fraudulent Birth Tourism Schemes from Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald ⬇️

Elon, I can give you many, many names of people who have died because of your aid cuts.: *Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because you stopped paying for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. I talked to her parents and sister in their village. *Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of your cuts in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village. *Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after you interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him. *Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when you cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to him. I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge you: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.

During one operation, Ukrainian forces quickly captured a column of Russian armored vehicles. But instead of simply blowing up the tanks and IFVs, Ukrainian crews did something the Russians never expected. They climbed into the captured Russian tanks, switched on the Russian radios, and calmly drove deep into enemy territory pretending to be Russian forces. The Russian convoy had been moving in tight formation. Ukrainian soldiers rapidly neutralized the crews, seized the vehicles, and within minutes were driving along the very road the occupiers had just used. They spoke Russian over the radio, used Russian call signs, and even copied the style of Russian communications. At checkpoints, Russian troops simply waved them through, believing they were friendly units returning from a mission. The Ukrainians then drove straight onto the grounds of a Russian brigade headquarters. Once the tanks were inside the base, Ukrainian crews suddenly turned their turrets and opened fire. Headquarters buildings, ammunition depots, and vehicle parks instantly descended into chaos. Russian troops ran between tents in panic, shouting and firing in every direction — but it was already too late. They had allowed a “Trojan horse” directly into their own base. The entire operation lasted only minutes. Ukrainian forces captured the headquarters, took Russian officers prisoner, destroyed key military targets, and withdrew without losses.
