A new report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37 billion in potential legal liability from 11 federal agencies on inauguration day.

Many are now on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped their investigations into Musk's corporations.

"Conflict of interest" is an understatement.

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️

Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines.

He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

Our hearts are with Myanmar today. Also filled with tremendous sorrow and shame for our country that USAID isn't there to help.
Myanmar Is in Ruins. And America Isn’t Coming.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 
3) Donors make a huge profit. 
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

The cover-up…

USAID officials were ordered to destroy classified documents, raising concerns about compliance with federal law. An internal email sent to remaining bureau leaders at the agency’s Washington headquarters provided guidance on “clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”

We skipped the non-SOTU last night but heard that once again the Putin Administration went after one of #USAID 's best, most impactful and beautiful programs educating refugee children. Read the results for yourself and ask why they hate this so much.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.

This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.

What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
Elon Musk: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect ... so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention."
