Here’s hoping the rest of the fucking world steps up to prevent that from happening.

I’m trying to remember if it’s USAID funding that Michael Bloomberg pledged to replace. And if so, how much of it.

I think the funding is only part of the problem, which that could be more easily replaced (this would be a good way for Bloomberg, etc, to actually help). In a recent video about the TB medicine and testing being held up in warehouses, John Green pointed out that the harder problem to crack is actually the logistics of these programs. Here it is…
Governments are often great at logistics, and that might be the larger problem other governments need to step in to help mitigate with USAID no longer providing this.

Elon Musk and DOGE are slashing the size of the federal workforce in what they say will bring big savings to taxpayers. Stephen Fowler, political reporter with NPR’s Washington desk, reports on the typos, exaggerations and shoddy math in DOGE’s receipts.

This is so stupid whenever Leon states it will “bring savings to taxpayers” because it’s not like we taxpayers get rebates or lower taxes. No reporters call him out on this shit.
You know who’s a traitor? Leon is a traitor.

But… but… Trump said he wants to do the same sort of thing Bush did with giving everyone a cut of the savings!
(Boy… remember when Republicans were in a frenzy telling us that we were paying off the national debt too fast and the Democrats were going to crash the economy because of it, so they just had to hand the surplus out as a one-time check rather than using it for anything useful?)

Musk said social media posts were sufficient documentation for agency that is changing face of government
So, hypothetically, if we were all to post something like “Elon and the DOGE-Bags are criminals!” it would be sufficient documentation to actually have them arrested and convicted? Seems worth a shot.

Clever. Nothing screams “Security!” like nuking the penetration testing team, right?
