Donald Trump lying about Ukraine starting the war with Russia makes me ashamed to be an American. I have done a 2 man patrol at night through Fallujah to extract and intubated COVID patients long before a vaccine. I've killed people for America and I've saved people for America. I am ashamed.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

The American right has turned to Hungary to learn how authoritarians consolidate power. The American left should look to Poland to see how a big-tent coalition can defeat authoritarianism. It involves multiple parties appealing to different voters.

So Elon Musk says he’s looking for waste and fraud but the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau costs less than $1B/year and has returned $20B and counting to consumers in roughly a decade. prospect.org/economy/2025...

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment. I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face. And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.

All government agencies submit audited financial every single year. So, the last time USAID was audited was ... this past December! oig.usaid.gov/sites/defaul... Who does the audits? The Inspectors General. Who are presently under attack, so that future crimes won't be seen.

Both USAID and the Dept of Education together account for less than 2% of the federal budget. Starting to think this has nothing to do with saving money. If it was you'd look at the corruption and waste in the Defense Dept budget but it’s probably too much to expect someone to defund themselves.

Why target USAID when it’s <1% of budget? “USAID funds democracy-promotion programs around the world, including in European countries where right-wing populist movements are thriving. Musk has become an ally of those movements, some of whose leaders have specifically targeted the agency…” Gift link

You say: they shutdown USAID. You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.

Arguing with so called basketball fans who don't know or watch the game is exhausting and I don't recommend it. If you watch the game then you should know Sabonis is having a better season than JJJ, Sengün, AD, and Williams.
