  1. Can we also take the new ebola episode as a consequence of #ElonMusk slashing #USAID?

    I wonder how deeply impacted were the services watching/fighting against #Ebola

    Maybe it is not 100% direct, maybe the teams over there were not 100% subsidized by foreign human/medical aid. I simply do not know

  2. > The aim of this study is to comprehensively evaluate the effect of all #USAID funding on adult and child mortality over the past two decades and forecast the future effect of its defunding.

    > Forecasting models predicted that the current steep funding cuts could result in more than 14 051 750 additional all-age deaths, including 4 537 157 in children younger than age 5 years, by 2030.

  4. Millions of US tax dollars sent to rightwing European thinktanks. Did any Trump supporters vote for that? | Arwa Mahdawi
    By Arwa Mahdawi

    It’s a great betrayal: poor communities neglected while multimillionaires peddle a global Maga agenda. How is that America first?

  6. I had forgotten that I grabbed Into the Woodchipper at the library the other day. I saw it in my pile of library books and decided I better get it read first as I cannot renew it.

    I am not very far into yet because... Life is a bit busy right now.

  12. Elon Musk's goons lied: "The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) massively inflated the amount of federal spending it eliminated, according to a report from the Government Accountability Office.
    The report found that DOGE’s claims of $110 billion in savings as of July 7, 2026, lacked supporting evidence or were incorrect. Many of the leases listed on the 'Wall of Receipts' were in the process of being terminated before DOGE was established":

  14. They ravaged SNAP so that the rich get richer, and now states are on the hook for more of its costs, as much as 15% of the food aid itself. Over 4.5 million Americans have lost SNAP support.

    Worldwide, USAID cuts have been estimated to cause over 500,000 deaths per year, possibly up to 22 million by 2030.

    Stop the madness. This November, vote them out.

  20. There are some days when the American government does something so embarrassing that I suffer second-hand cringe for hours. I'm not even about to suffer alone. Y'all are coming with me.

    Apparently, people in the #StateDept don't know how #maps work. And yet, we have entrusted these morons with diplomacy and ability to call in armed forces. Bob help us all.

  27. Ah, the classic "let's #blame #JavaScript for world problems" move 🎭. In a groundbreaking exposé, the article bravely tackles the complex issue of USAID's #impact on #mortality rates, only to be thwarted by the evil duo of JavaScript and #cookies 🍪. Surely, enabling them will unlock the secrets of the universe and maybe even world peace! 😂

  29. The renter-owner wealth gap is wider than ever, as many are priced out of buying - While average Americans struggle with rent, groceries, student debt, credit card debt and many are living paycheck to paycheck, the #TrumpRegime is spending $100 billion on the #IranWar and giving billions every year to #Israel while discontinuing vital #USAID designed to ease the burdens of poverty and disease. #Affordability is of no concern to #Trump and his #Republicans - they just don’t care about us, while coddling and subsidizing #billionaires and #oligarchs. npr.org/2026/07/30/nx-s1-59107 #RepublicansDidThis #RepublicansOwnThis.

  31. "The massive new #Ebola outbreak now spreading across conflict-ridden eastern Congo is a grim object lesson on just how vital #USAID was. The outbreak was declared in May after an unusually long delay in detecting and identifying the virus, by which point it had already spread at an enormous scale. It is the most worrying resurgence of Ebola since the famously huge 2014 outbreak in West Africa – and will likely match, if not exceed, that scale...

    "The destruction of USAID is a major reason why things have gotten so badly out of hand...."

    In a just world, #ElonMusk would be on trial.

  36. Both McRoberts and Reinhold oppose cuts to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), a federal program that provided foreign aid to countries in need.
