Elon Musk said DOGE made a mistake by cutting USAID’s Ebola prevention but it had been “restored.” That’s not true, current and former officials told me and @johnphudson.bsky.social. “There have been no efforts to ‘turn on’” Ebola prevention, said Nidhi Bouri, who oversaw team until January.

Once more, Farage is claiming that he stood up in the European Parliament in early 2014 and predicted the Ukraine war. In fact, he stood up in September 2014, AFTER the annexation of Crimea, and blamed Europe for Putin's actions. I kept the receipts. Listen here 👇🏽 open.spotify.com/episode/77cz...

My warmest greetings go out to the wonderful people who built their careers sniffing out “Ukrainian Nazis” under every stone in Ukraine for tasty headlines that fueled Russian war propaganda on this-is-why-Ukraine-must-be-dealt-with, only to get Nazi salutes normalized in their own country.

Yes indeed! Hitler wanted peace in May 1940 and blamed Britain for the war because it wouldn't agree that he should keep all Western Europe he had just conquered. And a lot of US politicians then made EXACTLY the same points as Trump and Hegseth are making now. Ah, the cycles of history...

These guys don’t even have security clearances yet, but are wading their way deep into govt systems, controlling budgets, personnel, processes, payments etc, locking out or firing the people responsible for ensuring probity.
