This is the second time USAID/State is punishing people revealing the truth that Marco is killing children. They're quite desperate to hide this fact, as if the reporters in Africa or court declarations are making it up.
NEW: USAID's acting asst administrator, Nick Enrich, has been placed on leave after sharing a memo detailing how political appointees have "wholly prevented" staff from continuing life saving aid.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau protects regular folks against corporate special interests trying to rip them off.
Which has made it, naturally, a target for Musk, MAGA, and now Russell Vought. But their strategy to gut it suggests a way to fight back. 🧵

also, blaming autism for the fact that you’re an ahole is insulting to actual autistic people everywhere
I don't care that Elon Musk is apparently autistic. He is still a terrible human being. Same with Kanye West (if you take what he said at face value.)

maga increasing everyone’s risk of dying of cancer to own the libs 🥴
All of Musk's and Trump's actions center down on cutting as much funding for cancer research as possible. Whether it's the research grants, gutting the places that do the research. The biggest moves Musk & Co have made are about cutting research for cancer cures.
