F-ing the farmers left and right!
When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt.
This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more.
- US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID
- $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes.
- Food stranded in Houston
- Aid stopped in transit.
The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.

Gutting USAID threatens billions of dollars for U.S. farms, businesses
U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans.

As someone who has spent MANY years working in risk and audit, I understand the need for checks, balances, and review. ANYONE who has worked in these fields know that these are just a FEW of the non-negotiables:

This. This is horrifying.
1/ ❗Really chilling.
Thanks to Sen. Mark Warner, for releasing Memo from acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove to FBI leadership ordering the purge.
-Memo is a clear abuse of power and weaponization of DOJ
-Memo bolsters FBI lawsuits filed today. VERY clear the list is for retaliatory purposes

Why do we keep referring to the fact that Elon's from Africa? What difference does that make? Feels like we're really stooping here.
Feels very much like the Obama Hussein arguments the Right side tried to make (which were lies and insanely rediculous). Who cares? He shouldnt have our data, period.

I mean... seriously.
This is a perfect example of today's congressional Republican -- she confidently repeats an idiotic lie from Trump that's already been disproven, is immediately called out for the lie, and just lets what would normally be a career-ending moment roll right off her back. No brain, no shame.
Malliotakis: We try to get to the bottom of where this money is going, $50 million for condoms in Gaza, for example. These are real things!
Phillip: We know that there was not $50 million spent for condoms in Gaza. There was $0 spent on condoms in the Middle East. That is a complete lie

My proposed title and my opening and closing lines do not leave my stance on RFK Jr remotely ambiguous. He’s dangerously ignorant, egomaniacal, and effectively a mass murderer in waiting. He has no business being anywhere near HHS.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.
