Hearing rumors that Elon Musk spent 40 million dollars on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. We won't know for sure until superbowl airs tonight, but I DO know USAID would do far more good in the world with $40 million:

1. Yesterday, the Trump admin released a contract laying out more details of the "deferred resignation" offer they are using to encourage federal employees to resign.
The deal is MUCH WORSE than it seemed
Anyone who signs this contract agrees to resign and gets NOTHING guaranteed in return

Axing USAID isn’t just hurting developing countries. It hurts our economy too, because USAID pays farmers, researchers, businesses, universities, and nonprofits nationwide to provide food assistance. #USAIDRural #FarmersFirst #AmericansFirst

The President of the United States is calling for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
There are more than 2 million people in the Gaza Strip, nearly half of them are children.
Absolutely vile. He must be held accountable for his genocidal remarks.
