This is some *wild* backpedaling bullshit from Elon
DOGE didn’t check with aid recipients…they didn’t check with *anyone*
DOGE clear-cut >80% of USAID programs without assessing what harms would ensue
And when USAID staff tried to flag those harms, they were forced out
Yesterday Trump falsely claimed that Obama and Biden spent a total of $147 million on renovations for the reflecting pool. Obama spent $35 million. Biden spent nothing. I provide receipts via AP and USASpending gov. In late April Trump said his renovations would cost $1.5 million
🚨 BREAKING: Close Trump advisors have been informing him the likeliest cause of any “rip” in the Reflecting Pool surface came from him insisting the full motorcade drive on the fresh surface to “inspect” it before it was refilled, which he immediately denies to blame liberals.
BREAKING: It's official — Trump's Iran war is now the MOST UNPOPULAR war in American history. And he's about to hand YOU the bill.
Donald Trump just achieved something no president in American history has ever managed: he started the single most unpopular war the country has ever fought — and now he's sending YOU an $80 BILLION invoice for it.
According to a detailed analysis of 153 public opinion surveys across SEVEN major U.S. conflicts, Trump's Iran war is the most unpopular war in American history — in not one, not two, but THREE distinct ways.
First: it's the ONLY war in U.S. history to BEGIN with negative public support. At -13% net support, Americans opposed it before it even started.
Second: at -32% net support today, it is now LESS popular than the Vietnam War was at its lowest point.
Third: at NO point — not for a single day — have more Americans supported this war than opposed it. It's the first U.S. war fought ENTIRELY underwater. World War II started at +95%. Afghanistan started at +80%. Trump's Iran war started in the negatives and only sank from there.
And now comes the bill.
The Wall Street Journal reports the Pentagon told lawmakers it needs roughly $80 BILLION to recoup its Iran war costs — money Trump will formally request from Congress this week. That's ON TOP of the $1.1 TRILLION military budget Congress already approved this year.
Even more infuriating: that $80 billion figure is NEARLY THREE TIMES the $29 billion that Pete Hegseth claimed in a Senate hearing — a number he offered with NO documentation and NO methodology, and which establishment media dutifully parroted for five weeks. Independent journalists who actually did the math estimated $72 billion. They were right. Hegseth was off by tens of billions of dollars.
So, let's tally it up:
The most unpopular war in American history? Check.
Started by a president who deliberately chose it? Confirmed.
Roughly 150 dead at a bombed Iranian school? Yep.
Gas at $6 a gallon? Absolutely.
Iran's nuclear program still intact? Check.
And an $80 billion bill landing on YOUR doorstep. Certainly, if Congress agrees to Trump’s budget request.
It’s perfectly clear that the vast majority of Americans never wanted this war. Now they're paying for it anyway.

Mosquito swarms plague displaced families in Gaza amid collapsing conditions and blocked aid, including pesticides and waste equipment.
Meanwhile, Israel continues to block the entry of pesticides and waste-treatment equipment.
Over the weekend, Trump started flying on the Flying Bribery Palace that Qatar gave him.
Today, Trump cleared the way for Iran to make $10B in oil sales, PRECISELY what he claimed was betrayal if Obama did that after they actually complied with a deal.
The far right really needs to consider what it means that Trump accepts bribes.
No declaration of war. No due process. No congressional authorization.
The UN’s top expert on counter-terrorism & human rights says the U.S. is committing extrajudicial killings at sea. 211 dead and counting.
Where is Congress?
The Trump administration just paid Invenergy $765 million to cancel four wind projects. That brings the running total to roughly $2.5 billion in taxpayer money spent to stop energy from being built.
Think about that.
At a time when electricity demand is rising, the Trump administration is spending billions to reduce the amount of power that could reach the grid.
Trump has spent years attacking wind turbines as ugly and inefficient. He is entitled to his opinions about how they look. He is not entitled to make taxpayers finance those opinions.
Seven states have already sued over earlier agreements. Federal courts have repeatedly found legal defects in this administration’s efforts to halt offshore wind development. The administration has cited national security concerns while providing little public evidence to support them, and judges have said they were not convinced.
Strip away the politics and what remains is hard to defend.
Billions in taxpayer money paid to private companies to cancel planned energy projects during a period of rising demand.
Governments usually spend money to build things.
This administration is spending billions to make sure some things never get built.
