“There is a huge liquidity crisis,” “Even if you have a waiver, there is limited money to pay for warehouses, guards or trucks. You risk a situation where thousands of bags of food can’t be distributed and will sit there, rotting or at risk of being looted.” www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

This is basically @dimension20.bsky.social's "Never Stop Blowing Up" on the big screen.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Min frustration over at så mange mennesker i kommentarfelterne ikke ved hvordan verden hænger sammen er blevet til en video hvor jeg tegner og fortæller: youtu.be/BsYRHxTiNAA

One of the funniest but also most alarming things about all this is how lazy it is.

Det er påkrævet for enhver, der tror at nedlukningen af USAID bare er lidt fjollede projekter som ikke mere får penge, at læse denne artikel: www.politico.com/news/magazin...

The Norwegian Refugee Council* has published this remarkable statement: www.nrc.no/news/2025/fe... The impact of the shutdown of USAID is immense. (*Similar to my employer, but the two are separate organizations.)

OK, time to bust another @USAID myth. Stephen Miller said on Fox today that USAID is a rogue slush fund. Trump & Elon have made the same accusation. FALSE. They're either ignorant of how USAID spends money, or willfully lying about it. Or... Anyway, caffeinate and read on. 🧵

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

@cwarzel.bsky.social and Ian Bogost both step back and dive into what Musk's minions might do in their exploration of and experimentation on federal systems. I'm quoted. I have more thoughts on this subject, and my thinking is evolving as time passes. Hint: There are ways to mitigate the risks.

Det er direkte deprimerende at søge på danida på X og se hvordan diverse "undersøgere" bevidst misforstår diverse tabeller og rapporter for at fremprovokere samme voldsomme reaktion blandt deres ligesindede som er sket med USAID. Så meget nonsens.

Here is the White House’s own justification for its sudden evisceration of the entire foreign aid agency worldwide, in secret on a Saturday night. It’s a quickie list of a few ragebait links to sites like Breitbart. They concern minuscule sums of money that could be addressed with trivial reforms.

Mind-boggling wreckage. Among the lifesaving programs now disrupted by Elon’s attack on @USAID: phase 1 trials for a possible HIV vaccine.

Cutting tens of millions of people off from the AIDS medicine that keeps them alive for no other reason than that it sounds fun. That’s who runs our country today.

"All elections are rigged and Democrats don't exist" is the kind of paranoid delusion that once got you shunned from society and maybe committed. Now it gets you retweeted by the defacto president and the adoration of thousands of other cultists.

New, from me: So much is happening, so quickly. The purpose of shock and awe is to bewilder and overwhelm. It is important not to look away, or get discouraged. Try to discern the what is a big and real threat. Here is my best effort to do so. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/meditation...

Det er så vildt at se et hjørne af dansk twitter slubre alt i sig omkring hvad Musk og ekstremt tvivlsomme X-profiler skriver om USAID. Der var helt sikkert nogle penge, som ikke er gået kun til hjælp. Men overordnet er der ret stor transparens: www.cgdev.org/blog/no-90-p...

@fireshoes.bsky.social I am breezing through Plat and Diamond right now with your take on Pixie. This is the list I should’ve brought to my RCQ of the season 😅

Elon says 90% of US aid never reaches communities. He confuses USAID's 90% reliance on intermediaries -- US companies delivering HIV drugs, WFP delivering food aid -- with waste. Comical if not so dangerous. @rachelbonnifield.bsky.social & I break down where aid goes: www.cgdev.org/blog/no-90-p...
