These people are committing crimes against humanity.
Remember when the WH insisted that global HIV prevention & treatment was exempt from the freeze? When it seemed MAYBE they understood that cutting off medicine could put the entire planet at risk of drug resistant HIV strains?
Wrong. Elon Musk’s interns were simply shutting payments off manually.

Declaration of Independence, Point 1: "He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good."
I had to confirm these for myself. Here are Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff and the official White House account running with Trump's earlier post referring to himself as king. Famously, the United States of America fought a war over not wanting to be ruled by a king.

Thinking everything is a distraction is classic wishful thinking to avoid doing literally anything. The fascism is the point. All the things they do are serious.
Dear media:
Please do not waste time hyperventilating about this dumb comment.
It’s intended to be a distraction from all of the damaging actions he’s taking.
Focus on those.

This is the story.
DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

I wish we could reach the average American and let them know that with Trump’s cuts to the NSF, NIH, and CDC, they will no longer have access to cutting-edge medicine. U.S. physicians won’t have access to new technology. New cancer treatments will be available in other countries but not to them.
