1/ The people drawn to work in humanitarian assistance are the polar opposite of Elon Musk. Some were refugees or other recipients of aid when they were young & want to pay it forward.
Trump and Musk Take a Hammer to America’s Reputation

The CFPB shutdown is a flashing warning that no one in the Trump administration is interested in better or more efficient consumer financial regulation.
Trump is aiming to slam a wrecking ball into a critical oversight agency that safeguards consumers from unfair and predatory business…

Tesla’s market valuation is nuts. P/E ratio is 161, compared to 7-9 for other carmakers. That assumes *massive* profit growth b/c:
🔹 For years, sales skyrocketed in Europe, USA, & China
🔹 Musk was seen as a magician conjuring amazing products out of thin air
Neither is true anymore.

Remember, the same clowns claiming they've found widespread government fraud also claimed that they found widespread election fraud
Court case after court case proved them to be liars. Their lawyers even plead guilty, were disbarred
Their circus tent is erected on a hill of lies & conspiracies

If any other developed democracy abolished its official government aid & development agency, all Christian & other religious and secular NGOs would be apoplectic . The silence of American evangelicals & their NGOs is another example of their descent into fascism.

Let’s be clear in this.
An executive order is a directive from the president to the executive branch.
It is not a law. Places like Google and Apple do not have to comply with this nonsense.
They choose to.
Just like we can choose Android devices and engines like Duck Duck Go…

The crisis in the DRC’s eastern provinces marks the third time since the end of the Second Congo War that a group receiving significant support from Rwanda has seized DRC territory.
Events in the DRC show a new realpolitik is emerging in Africa – one that is fraught with danger
Apart from the heavy human cost, the return of hybrid warfare to the Democratic Republic of the Congo risks stability on the continent.

This administration & the GOP are completely rewriting the events of January 6. The president is doing it right here. They pretend all the evidence, footage, confessions, & documents just don't exist, that we didn't see it happen. It is an authoritarian move, and it should terrify all of us.
Reporter: You are going to meet with first responders today, but you pardoned hundreds of people who assaulted first responders.
Trump: No, I pardoned people who were assaulted themselves… by our government. What I did was a great thing for humanity.
