While other media accounts have detailed several key moments in the blitzkrieg on USAID, this article provides new details about what Trump and Musk’s lieutenants did, what they said and the objections that those within the government raised along the way.

Good tips here. A couple of things I'd add that I've personally found helpful:
1) write down questions you have as you go
2) read the bibliography of a paper and follow up on citations that pique your interest. Usually more efficient than using Google Scholar to find relevant reading material
