Just Some Dude

Every American should be outraged by what Trump has done to our nation's 250th birthday celebration. What should have been a once-in-a-generation moment to unite the country has been turned into another vehicle for division, propaganda, and political gain. We uncovered how he hijacked America 250 – watch to see how.

The same study projected the cost of the cut. Under the 83% reduction the administration announced, the modeling forecasts more than 14 million additional deaths by 2030 - 4.5 million of them children under five. Hold that figure loosely. It is a projection with a wide range, and a later post in this thread will test how much of it has held up. But note the order of events: the projection was published in mid-2025. Musk's "nobody died" came a full year later - after the reporting below was already in print. [SOURCE: The Lancet, June 2025]

The richest man on Earth dismantled the organization that feeds the poorest children on earth. Elon Musk's dismantling of USAID has already killed more children than in Lebanon, Gaza and Ukraine combined. He cut lifetimes for millions and the result is a silent massacres. The definition of evil is being a trillionaire in a world where millions of children are starving. This is what Elon Musk doesn't want you to see on this platform. This is one of the reasons I am being shadow banned on X.

Starting in early 2025, Elon Musk and the Trump administration began terminating USAID's programs and firing its staff — with Musk himself boasting about "feeding it into the woodchipper." One year ago today, USAID was officially dissolved, its remaining programs haphazardly folded into the State Department. Amid all the lies and misinformation that have followed, some facts about what has actually been lost: • USAID saved more than 3 million lives a year at a cost of less than $10/month per American. That is what was destroyed. On purpose. • According to Boston University's Global Impact Counter — which tracked deaths attributable to the cuts until it stopped operations in February 2026 — an estimated 781,000 people died preventable deaths in the first year, including 518,000 children. • Global child mortality (the number of children who die before their fifth birthday) rose in 2025 for the first time in 35+ years — by 200,000 additional deaths. • USAID's 50-country disease surveillance network — the system that cut outbreak response times from 2 weeks to 48 hours — is gone. We are now watching an unprecedented Ebola outbreak unfold in real time — with the highest first-month caseload and death rate in modern history. • Programs reaching 93 million women and children were cut 92%. TB programs cut 56%. Water and sanitation cut 86%. Over 2,000 health facilities permanently closed. • 25 million fewer people received humanitarian assistance in 2025. The overall humanitarian budget was slashed 74% — from $14.1 billion to $3.7 billion. • 363 million people face acute hunger in 2026. The famine early-warning system that would have seen it coming went dark for five months. • $1.7 billion in democracy and governance funding (election monitoring, anti-corruption work, support for independent media and civil society) was terminated. • 360+ independent media outlets lost funding. Hundreds of legal clinics closed. • Far from saving money, the Trump administration itself has already said the dismantlement will cost taxpayers at least $19.2 billion in cancellation fees, severance, and penalties. That's more than half of USAID's annual budget — spent on destruction and closeout, not support for vulnerable people. • American farmers, universities, and businesses are among the casualties too. USAID partnered with more than 3,500 U.S. companies and maintained 17 university-based research labs. Its work with U.S.-based contractors and the private sector generated hundreds of thousands of American jobs and multiplied the return on every dollar spent. Those markets and partnerships are gone.

Elon used this photo to “prove” that USAID (that he defunded) funds terrorism. Except USAID was not funding terrorists or giving them tents. The photo was taken after terrorists raided a depot in Azaz, near the Syria-Turkey border. They stole the tent,along with food & weapons.

FIFA confirms there is no mechanism to appeal a World Cup red card, per The Athletic. USMNT's Folarin Balogun will miss the team's Round of 16 match vs. Belgium after being red carded in tonight's win.
