NEWSY: The White House confirms tonight that Elon Musk is NOT the administrator of DOGE and is not even technically part of it.

He's a "senior adviser to the president" like Anita Dunn, they say. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

From 2003 to 2006 UNOPS in Afghanistan was headed by an American who was billing for projects and pocketing millions. USAID was informed so they sent an investigator around the country and produced a report. He wasn't prosecuted by US because of bad publicity. It was USAID that ended the corruption.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Focus on the "why" when it comes to the closing of USAID.

It's all about corruption.

Trump gets to pretend he's saving money to justify his giant tax giveaway to his corporate friends.

Musk takes control of foreign policy so he can do favors for China - where he makes his $$.
