The funniest ad was the Fox News one that ended with the tagline:

“Fox News: For All America”.

Damn near busted a gut when I saw that.

Elon Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here’s how
we would’ve spent that $$:
🏈 Slowed the flow of migrants to our borders by providing job training to 50K people in
Central America

Elon Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful.

Here’s how USAID would’ve spent that $$:

🏈 Bought 66,000 metric tons of crops from American farmers and shipped them overseas to feed 8 million people on the brink of famine

I can’t imagine why Musk went after USAID (and their servers) 🤔

I wonder why Elon Musk would target a humanitarian agency like USAID and move so quickly to take over their servers? 🤔

And DOGE can’t do what they’re doing but here we are.

They’re just radical ideas, but that’s what we’re left with.

Congress has a constitutional obligation to act as they control the purse, yet the GOP is sitting around letting this coup happen.

It’s time to fight back using unconventional means.

dneuner.bsky.social @dneuner.bsky.social · Feb 7

I appreciate what #Democrats are doing, but it’s not enough. Why continue to play by the rules when your peers have thrown out the rulebook?

There has to be a way to fight back.
