Remember the DOGE assault on USAID?

BBC host Rajini Vaidyanat asks Bill Gates if it's true that he accused Elon Musk of killing children with his USAID cuts.

Gates: "These cuts will not just kill children, but MILLIONS of children. This is serious stuff!

A MORAL CRISIS

“The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored.

If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.”

Take 3 minutes. This is important.

First real warmth of the sun I’ve felt this year.

This is exactly right. Watch @raskin.house.gov explain how we can stop Trump’s coup:

Where's Fraud-o? Searching in earnest for credible evidence of voter fraud

Everyone should listen to the recent episode of Amicus (podcast by @dahlialithwick.bsky.social ). They are coming after our elections in ruinous ways.

By what constitutional authority? What is being done to stop this corruption?

Part of the chaos of this moment comes from a press failing to call illegal what's illegal, to identify when these are powers not granted to the feds. And part from people cooperating with illegal orders.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner
