We must correct wrong assessments that lead to wrong decisions. We in Lithuania understand clearly that Russia threatens not only the frontier nations – its aggression has no limits, argues FM Kęstutis Budrys.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.
There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP
Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Donald Trump lying about Ukraine starting the war with Russia makes me ashamed to be an American.
I have done a 2 man patrol at night through Fallujah to extract and intubated COVID patients long before a vaccine. I've killed people for America and I've saved people for America.
I am ashamed.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at.
You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters.
Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

The American right has turned to Hungary to learn how authoritarians consolidate power.
The American left should look to Poland to see how a big-tent coalition can defeat authoritarianism. It involves multiple parties appealing to different voters.

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment.
I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face.
And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.

*All* government agencies submit audited financial every single year. So, the last time USAID was audited was ... this past December! oig.usaid.gov/sites/defaul...
Who does the audits? The Inspectors General. Who are presently under attack, so that future crimes won't be seen.

Both USAID and the Dept of Education together account for less than 2% of the federal budget. Starting to think this has nothing to do with saving money. If it was you'd look at the corruption and waste in the Defense Dept budget but it’s probably too much to expect someone to defund themselves.
