Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.

#Measles spreads easily when an infected person breathes, coughs or sneezes.
Measles can affect anyone, but is most common in children.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Sorry... why are we still referring to Cassidy as a doctor?

Surely he lost that honorific today?

After knowingly aiding and abetting a man whose anti-science quackery killed Samoan kids and will kill more in the years ahead?

How is anything Cassidy did today acceptable under the Hippocratic Oath?

Musk is calling USAID “evil” and saying it must die.

Trump is suddenly interested in cutting off funding to South Africa.

For those wondering why the sudden focus on this, might we suggest digging into the role USAID played in ending apartheid? —> adst.org/2021/06/amer...

The real story after the tariffs are imposed is to watch who Trump gives waivers to, and what they did to get them.

Again: Trump just ordered 2 dams open to levels that would’ve flooded areas and farms, without warning, all to back up the lies he told about the fires — and the rivers don’t even flow to LA.

Locals panicked and they backed off.
