Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts
Imagine struggling when the Trolley Problem is framed as “there’s no one on your current track, but if you flip the switch the trolley will run over a bunch of kids.”
Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · 4w agoFuck you, Ian Bremmer, you abject ghoul.
interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”
tony romm@tonyromm.bsky.social · last mo.NEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...
