The funniest ad was the Fox News one that ended with the tagline:

“Fox News: For All America”.

Damn near busted a gut when I saw that.

Elon Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here’s how
we would’ve spent that $$:
🏈 Slowed the flow of migrants to our borders by providing job training to 50K people in
Central America

Elon Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful.

Here’s how USAID would’ve spent that $$:

🏈 Bought 66,000 metric tons of crops from American farmers and shipped them overseas to feed 8 million people on the brink of famine

Alleged USAID probe into Starlink raises Elon Musk conflict concerns In 2022, USAID and Starlink collaborated to provide 5,000 Starlink terminals to Ukraine amid its ongoing war against Russia.

I can’t imagine why Musk went after USAID (and their servers) 🤔

Alleged USAID probe into Starlink raises Elon Musk conflict concerns In 2022, USAID and Starlink collaborated to provide 5,000 Starlink terminals to Ukraine amid its ongoing war against Russia.

I wonder why Elon Musk would target a humanitarian agency like USAID and move so quickly to take over their servers? 🤔

And DOGE can’t do what they’re doing but here we are.

They’re just radical ideas, but that’s what we’re left with.

Congress has a constitutional obligation to act as they control the purse, yet the GOP is sitting around letting this coup happen.

It’s time to fight back using unconventional means.

I appreciate what #Democrats are doing, but it’s not enough. Why continue to play by the rules when your peers have thrown out the rulebook?

There has to be a way to fight back.
