Elon Musk’s Revolutionary Terror The evisceration of U.S.A.I.D. isn’t a policy fightβ€”it’s an execution designed to strike fear in our own government.

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

β€œPausing” grants means people don’t eat.
