Fact-Checking Claims About USAID Funding Trump administration officials have misled about how the aid agency is spending its funding, in an effort to cite widespread “waste.”

The White House cited eight examples of objectionable spending by USAID to justify dismantling the agency. But Leavitt’s descriptions of the awards were largely inaccurate for five of the eight examples she listed. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/u...

Vladimir Kara-Murza: U.S. tech companies are ‘acting as accomplices to dictatorships’ Vladimir Kara-Murza knows a thing or two about the dangers of government-sponsored, tech industry-supported censorship. As a Russian opposition activist, he was found guilty of treason for speaking out against Putin’s crackdown on dissidents. And now, in the context of Trump’s government overhaul, U.S. tech companies are “essentially acting as accomplices to dictatorships.” “Those companies that declare their adherence to principles such as the rule of law, respect for human rights, respect for democracy, they have to actually follow these principles, as opposed to helping dictatorships overcome them.”

Former political prisoner @vkaramurza.bsky.social exposes big tech’s betrayal: aiding dictators instead of defending democracy. His warning is clear:

“The future belongs to democracies. It does not belong to one man.” #Velshi

Big update! There were 5 separate bills having to do with pediatric cancer in the original CR. All got stripped out. BUT - the provision reauthorizing NIH pediatric cancer research already passed the house earlier this year. So Senate just put it into their bill and it no will get signed!

ONLY AN ABSOLUTE HORROR OF A HUMAN BEING WOULD DO THIS…

Republicans slashed $200 million for childhood cancer research—a program created with bipartisan support under Obama—from the CR bill.

Why? Because Elon Musk told them to.

😂 Riding high until he fills his Depends

Easily the best description of him I’ve ever read.

Land doesn’t vote. Stop pretending it does.

Never forget this. The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

“I can’t believe you’re willing to cut people off because of who they voted for,” said a family member.

Sweetie, I’m cutting you off because of 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 you voted for.

You voted against my daughter, my career, this country, the climate crisis, and for fascism.

Believe it.

You know what?
