Understanding Musks fascination with USAID also requires you to recall its role in dissembling apartheid South Africa.
Yashar Ali 🐘@yashar
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.

I repeat from yesterday: all of that information was freely accessible online up until the current administration took control and removed that database from being publicly available

I’m actually excited to find out what USAID was actually funding, in 2023 their budget was $40,000,000,000

It is illegal for people without clearances to handle classified material and these stupid fuckers just handed it to Musk's little minions. Where the fuck is @HawleyMO and @TomCottonAR? You fucking pussies talk about this shit constantly. Too fucking scared to speak up now?

Breaking: WASHINGTON (AP) — USAID security chiefs on leave after trying to prevent Musk's DOGE from accessing classified material, officials say.

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you.

Some of the most talented and selfless people I’ve met in my career have been USAID personnel who work themselves to the bone to help the world’s most vulnerable people.
They are true Americans. This man is a grotesque fraudster who hates everything that makes our country great.

President Trump on USAID: "It has been run by a bunch of RADICAL LUNATICS and we're getting them out ... and then we'll make a decision"

The last time America increased tariffs like this, it was 1930 — and it triggered the Great Depression.

Absolutely correct @AdamKinzinger. I keep waiting for elected Democrats to realize that they need to completely change their approach. This would be a great way to start and today would be a great time to do so.

A lot of people seem to not realize that some students are more expensive to educate because they have higher levels of need that require additional staffing.
Private schools simply do not accept those students in the first place.
Jeremy Wayne Tate@JeremyTate41
The average cost to educate a public school student is $20,000 per year, the average Catholic school elementary tuition is about $4,500. In other words, Catholic schools get better results with 1/4th the money.

.@SenatorAndyKim at USAID: "I talked to the security guard just in there. He said he has been given specific orders to prevent employees of USAID from entering the building today. I just find that to be absolutely ridiculous. This is no way to govern."

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: please take notes.

To all federal employees:
DO NOT RESIGN!!!!
It’s a trap laid by people who HATE YOU, and who want to exact vengeance on you.
MAKE THEM FIRE YOU and explain their shit to a judge.
that is all

This is a wildly unhinged thing to say about people who have dedicated their lives to:
-preventing famine
-reducing conflict
-combatting terrorism
-promoting democracy
The admins obsession with personal power and grievance is making Americans significantly less safe.

President Elon Musk and DOGE are reportedly also looking at ways to get rid of the FDIC.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation protects bank deposits up to $250,000 per account, ensuring customers don’t lose their money if a bank fails.
But sure, let’s ditch the FDIC—because bank runs and financial ruin sound like fun!
Who needs deposit insurance when we can just cross our fingers and hope our life savings don’t vanish overnight?
Nothing says “economic stability” like a full-blown financial apocalypse.

If this operation is so legit, why can’t those involved get a proper security clearance? Offer transparency to the American people?
This is a plutocratic coup. If you want the power, run for office and be chosen by the people.
Short of that, this is an exercise in vigilantism.
Chamath Palihapitiya@chamath
You are wrong. The five alarm fire will happen AFTER the WH reveals some of the waste, fraud and corruption this team uncovers. This will be Iran Contra on steroids. I’d buckle up.

Not a single person in the Executive Branch — not Donald Trump, not Elon Musk, and not any of their cronies — has the authority to shut down USAID. Congress created the agency by statute.
We ask a lot of our civil servants. Today, we ask of them another task — show up to work. Continue to serve.

Elon Musk is NOT:
- An elected official
- An appointee confirmed by the Senate
- Or even a legit fed
So why the hell has he been given access to fire federal employees, sensitive gov data, and federal payment systems.
He must be stopped.
