A good sign. Unfortunately no one knows where the data was already spread to, no one can fully control whether it will be indeed completely destructed, and no one knows what codes, spyware, or whatsoever were implemented in the system.
NEW: The N.I.H. will cut about $4 Billion from federal research grants that support cancer, virus and heart disease research.
#Project2025 called for the cuts to end subsidies to "leftist" university agendas.

I seriously don’t know this country anymore.
Trump’s America: Where diplomacy gets evicted.
"Vance had a chance to defend his OWN family, and he opted to defend the Indian-hating bigot instead. Where are the balls on these Republican men? ... Elon wants his DOGE kid who hates Indians back and Vance does his bidding... Do they castrate these guys at the door of the RNC?"

Putinist celebrates Musk’s war on USAID. It’s kind of all you need to know.
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”
"Targets" but the new DC Attorney is telling Elon he will prosecute people that reveal the names of his minions that are actively dismantling our government.
Donald Trump ran on getting us out of wars and stopping American dollars from fueling other people’s conflicts. Now he wants us to seize Gaza, displace millions of Palestinians, and turn it into his personal Middle Eastern Riviera—and he’s willing to send U.S. troops to make it happen.

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people
“Should this information fall into the wrong hands, the national security of the United States would be severely compromised”
Nine FBI employees/agents sue over Justice Dept acting leadership’s order that the Bureau hand over a list of employees who worked on Jan 6 cases
The FBI has a massive opportunity to be the hero of this American story.

There is still beauty in this world
The irony is that new IRS agents were hired specifically to audit high income earners - NOT like "YOU," but like ELON. He uses regular people as a shield to protect himself and his pals from clawing back what we lose to tax cheats. Elon's fans are useful idiots as he consolidates wealth for himself.
I think @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com just said, Democrats in Congress are trying to fix stupid. 😂
“Every rational thing the opposition is saying to Donald Trump and to Elon Musk is just bouncing off that solid wall of stupidity.”
And we need to keep asking them—what are you going to do about it?!
Our United Airlines pilot made sure to emphasize *Mexico* when he said we'd be flying over the Gulf of *Mexico* today.
It's the little things. Microdose hope.

WHO comments on United States announcement of intent to withdraw The World Health Organization regrets the announcement that the United States of America intends to withdraw from the Organization. WHO plays a crucial role in protecting the health and security of the world’s people, including Americans, by addressing the root causes of disease, building stronger health systems, and detecting, preventing and responding to health emergencies, including disease outbreaks, often in dangerous places where others cannot go. The United States was a founding member of WHO in 1948 and has participated in shaping and governing WHO’s work ever since, alongside 193 other Member States, including through its active participation in the World Health Assembly and Executive Board. For over seven decades, WHO and the USA have saved countless lives and protected Americans and all people from health threats. Together, we ended smallpox, and together we have brought polio to the brink of eradication. American institutions have contributed to and benefited from membership in WHO. With the participation of the United States and other Member States, WHO has over the past 7 years implemented the largest set of reforms in its history, to transform our accountability, cost-effectiveness, and impact in countries. This work continues. We hope the United States will reconsider and we look forward to engaging in constructive dialogue to maintain the partnership between the USA and WHO, for the benefit of the health and well-being of millions of people around the globe.
