DOGE froze USAID payments and locked out personnel in February 2025, Elon Musk announced dismantling of the Agency and Marco Rubio terminated 83% of Agency programs. By January 2026, it was estimated that 762,000 people had died as a result, including 500,000 children, according to CIDRAP. This model-based toll primarily consists of children and adults who died from interrupted access to malnutrition care, HIV/AIDS treatments, and malaria prevention.
A peer reviewed study published in The Lancet forecasted that there will be 14,051, 750 global deaths by 2030, including 4,537,157 children under 5. This is 2.34 times as many deaths as the 6,000,000 deaths in the Holocaust, though it is about 30% less than the 20,000,000 deaths estimated to have occurred in the COVID-19 pandemic.
DOGE originally promised to cut the $1.9 trillion Federal deficit in half. In the end, verified cuts amounted to less than one half of one percent of the deficit. “In Fiscal Year 2024, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) managed an estimated $35 billion in combined appropriations. Accounting for roughly 0.3% of total federal spending in FY2024.
77,302,580 voted for Donald Trump for President. Their votes led to the shutdown of USAID and an estimated 14 million global deaths.
@Mi_halb@FindleysFinance You can get this info from multiple published sources. Or - ask your favorite AI agent...
70s and 80s - Extreme Swings: The 1,300%+ net rise over the decade was not a straight line; gold experienced multiple pullbacks exceeding 15% to 20%, including a brutal 50% crash in 1974.
Another Trump potential self-enrichment scheme, in plain sight.
Step 1: Trump buys upwards of $5 million in Axon stock, a company that makes tasers, at ~$440 a share.
Step 2: ICE seeks to buy $220 million worth of Axon tasers 2 weeks later. The stock jumps to $520/share.
Step 3: Trump profits, again.
Not surprised to see Acting DNI Bill Pulte bring in a chief of staff who has even less national security experience than he has — and he has none.
What could possibly go wrong?

I see paid MCF sweepers constantly sweeping around all this garbage - dust on and off the roads.
Why not equip these sweepers with a few trash bags, so the trash can be collected at the same time?
Open to other solutions...but this is just a disaster waiting for the rainy season. All this plastic, trash will end up in sewage drains, clogging already clogged sewage drains. Happy to help in any way. We are constantly picking up plastic cups and bottles...
Also, people hosting free lunches/daan seva - have to make arrangements for the waste disposal. Too often, these daan sevas are the worst pile-ups of plastic and paper.
@elonmusk This thread is full of actual names. Maybe you're just not willing to hear or accept any of it.
You've directly killed thousands if not millions of at-risk children and mothers.
There's no two sides to it - there's just dead bodies to prove it.
.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.
Not true. There were plenty of buyers before Saylor and will remain post Saylor. The demand spans across corporations and countries. Yes - one (BIG) corporation is Strategy. So is Blackrock (has roughly the same amount of bitcoin as Strategy). Several corporations and countries continue stacking...this is the best time to buy.
4 years ago to this day, BTC was below$20,000 ($19,500).
So yes, it has served extremely well as a store of value, over just the last 4 years. Zoom out more, and it's even more impressive.
With the exception of a few AI stocks, nothing has come close to that performance. But to each his own!
@sue_xbt The regret of selling is real...don't sell. Not your BTC. Not your ETH. Sell the rest of crypto (convert them to BTC or ETH) - and don't look back...
I genuinely don't understand how anyone could vote for Trump three times. The evidence against him being blatantly corrupt, surrounding himself with incompetent worshippers - and crapping on our constitution is overwhelming. I find that choice deeply troubling. #TrumpVotersHateDemocracy
well - Trump lies all the time to his people, yet they worship him
1. Covid is a hoax (half a million Americans died)
2. I won the 2020 election (he lost by the biggest margin in US history)
3. I deserve the peace prize. For what ? Starving Palestinian children or blowing up a school full of girls?
#NeverSeenALoserLikeTrump
My own BTC bullish / bearish indicator - based on current worldwide liquidity, current Fear-Greed Index and recent momentum.
Liquidity has the highest weighting, followed by FGI and momentum.
The indicator's current output is 'mildly bullish'.
