Well worth a read. Not because of the content - it's total horseshit - but because it's a prime example of what happens when you mix anti-science, conspiracism, arrogance, and a total lack of expertise. Maybe one day NYT OpEds will engage with the actual science 🤷‍♂️. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/o...

Our aid is not, and has never been, about Ukraine’s security interest. It’s about our national interest. Our national security. A stoppage in aid will cause massive consequences for US national security, and will undo years of work we have completed collaboratively with our allies.

This is 100% bullshit. There are no algorithms. Musk and his incel clown posse are not forensic accountants and do not know how to audit. Discovering fraud is a labor-intensive project that can never be done by looking at payments alone. This is just a thinly-veiled rationale to gut Social Security.
