It’s time for people of faith, morality, and conscience to hold the people in our lives accountable for their willing partnership with this filth. We need to sever ties with our family members, friends, neighbors, and co-workers who still support him. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-may-nee...

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value. There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.

In the 80s a house was something like 3x the median income. Today a house is something like 6x median income. In 20 years a house will be like 10x median income. The public sees this. To them this means the system is failing. Of course they’re going to gamble/buy crypto/trade options. They need hope

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

DOGE’s drastic cuts to foreign aid has caused new HIV infections to surge and threaten to derail plans to eradicate AIDS as a public health threat by 2030. They’ve jeopardized the rollout of a newly developed injectable that is “the closest thing to a vaccine that we have ever had in HIV response.”

Elon Musk’s DOGE was an abject failure. Musk said the cost-cutting task force would save $2 trillion. But even its own estimate says that just $160 billion has been saved — and at tremendous cost to our country. That’s one reason why Musk is so hated by average Americans.
