A new report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37 billion in potential legal liability from 11 federal agencies on inauguration day. Many are now on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped their investigations into Musk's corporations. "Conflict of interest" is an understatement.

This is incredibly important, please share. You the American taxpayer paid for this data and you have the right to access it. Thank you @justsecurity.org #transparency #accountability www.justsecurity.org/110255/serie...

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

We wonder if there were many others on the chat ? Ruth Ben-Ghiat ‪@ruthbenghiat.bsky.social‬ When you are aligned with those foreign powers that is by design. It is sabotage of our country.

Our hearts are with Myanmar today. Also filled with tremendous sorrow and shame for our country that USAID isn't there to help.

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

This is how our government has been corrupted:  1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.  2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.  3) Donors make a huge profit.  4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

CALL CHUCK SCHUMER TONIGHT. We hear he is caving and will sell us out. #NotOneVote for cloture! All his office nos here (212) 486-4430‬ ‭(518) 431-4070‬ ‭(202) 224-6542‬ ‭(914) 734-1532‬ ‭(631) 753-0978

The cover-up… USAID officials were ordered to destroy classified documents, raising concerns about compliance with federal law. An internal email sent to remaining bureau leaders at the agency’s Washington headquarters provided guidance on “clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”

🕯️💔Heartbreaking. A Ukrainian mother in 1993, full of hope and joy, and the same mother in 2025, holding a framed photo of her fallen son. Russia is a terrorist state!

Holy shit!! Trump just slipped on live TV that he lost the 2020 presidential election. Trump would HATE it if this goes viral:

We skipped the non-SOTU last night but heard that once again the Putin Administration went after one of #USAID 's best, most impactful and beautiful programs educating refugee children. Read the results for yourself and ask why they hate this so much. sesameworkshop.org/our-work/wha...

More than 700 current US foreign policy officers and officials have signed a dissent cable to Marco Rubio urging him to stop the dismantling of USAID. An extraordinary step. www.thebulwark.com/p/hundreds-s...

OPINION: "Attacks on disabled Americans and the policies we rely on lie at the core of so much of MAGA culture." @lollardfish.bsky.social, whose son is autistic and has Down syndrome, on how Trump admin. policies will affect people like his son.

📣 DC Join us Monday to RALLY FOR WORKERS! Everyone is invited to come out and show solidarity as we fight to #SaveOurServices and defend CFPB! There will be food + fun + a fighting spirit before NTEU heads to federal court Monday to fight this administration’s attempts to illegally destroy CFPB!

We need to learn and adapt. Every single Senate Dem vote for Rubio. It got us nothing. "Rollover and play dead" got us nothing. Fight back or lose the democracy. Full stop.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Really excited to join this call. Also very excited to hear more from Mr. Kenyatta, who has done lots of good work for our state.

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

Friends, May we never forget that while negotiations,statements, addresses and the rest of the (undoubtedly important) diplomacy track are happening,exhausted #Ukrainian men &women in military uniform are holding back evil on the frontlines. Without them,there would be no diplomacy track at all.

It’s not difficult to make the argument that Elon Musk personally killed Pe Kha Lau and multiple other people by shutting down USAID. She would be alive had Musk picked literally any other agency as his target. As Elon himself might put it, “Concerning.” www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

A Republican Prayer.

In #Serbia, #USAID invests in independent media companies to become better businesses. They counter propaganda and amplify democratic, Western-aligned voices in countries where the Kremlin and China maintain strong networks. Attacks on USAID make us less safe. www.usaidstopwork.com/individuals

@mcuban.bsky.social as a young USAID employee…let me know if you want to talk. I’d be happy to tell you about the real work we’ve been doing, the impacts and why it is so important for our country. We don’t need to help people around the world but we should want to — it helps Americans stay safe.

Cost of saving the lives of 12 million children suffering from malaria: $20 million. #TeamUSAID #saveforeignaid

🏈Saved the lives of 25 million children suffering from severe malaria. We think this one has value on its own but maybe Musk would disagree This Superbowl Sunday, tell Congress to #saveforeignaid and #standwithUSAID
