@UnrealizedPains @carlatcole @Scott_Wiener LoL- no politicians ever build housing. Realise that.

Saturday, Silicon Valley Congressman Ro Khanna sat down with left-wing podcaster Jennifer Welch — who previously cheered on those celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk — to discuss the future of “progressive” governance. In a now viral clip, Khanna claimed Elon Musk “possibly sentenced to death” 4.5 million children by dismantling USAID, and demanded he be subpoenaed once Democrats retake power.

The number traces back to a Lancet study published last summer projecting 14 million deaths by 2030 from USAID cuts.

But the study assumes a fake world: one where DOGE’s cuts stay frozen through 2030, where the State Department’s lifesaving waiver doesn’t exist (it does), where Congress never refunds AIDS relief (it did), where two decades of clinics and supply chains vanish the second a grant lapses. It also conveniently ignores some former USAID functions (like funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology).

Meanwhile, NYU statistician Aaron Brown notes the study credits USAID with preventing 11 million more deaths than the entire global mortality decline over two decades.

@planetmaxwell interrogates the claim that Elon and DOGE single-handedly killed millions of children, and explains why Silicon Valley’s congressman is now laundering this as settled fact (when it’s really just propaganda).

Full story 👇

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

All DOGE required was contact information of the recipients to confirm that funding was not fraudulent. No validated medical funding was stopped.

Anything that appeared to be legitimate lifesaving funding continued and is now administered by the State Department.

If anyone had actually died as a result of DOGE, their names would be worldwide headline news!

On the other hand, USAID did help fund the Wuhan Virology Institute, which caused the deaths of millions, and the revolution that started the Russia-Ukraine war.

I wonder many “lives saved” USAID counted for these fake HIV prevention workshops that USAID’s own internal memos called “the perfect excuse” to set up as a front for regime change work.

[Mike Benz @MikeBenzCyber]

More riddles for @RoKhanna. The President of El Salvador came to the same conclusion as DOGE and celebrated the shutdown of USAID. Are you accusing the President who reduced his country’s murder rate by 95% of supporting the murder of children?

“Robber” Khanna!

My mom passed away last night with 10 family members by her side.

She was the first in our family to escape the Soviet Union. She arrived in California with nothing, hustled as a single mom of 4, and achieved the American dream in every respect.

She was crafty, resourceful, and could make humor out of any situation.

Here’s a photo of us when money was tight: I asked to be Aladdin for Halloween, so she dressed me up as a Russian gypsy and thought I wouldn’t notice.

BREAKING: Elon Musk calls for the arrest of Ro 'the Robber' Khanna.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced that a USAID official and several executives pleaded guilty in a bribery scheme involving more than $550 million in contracts.

Yet Ro Khanna is claiming Elon should be investigated over DOGE spending cuts.

The standard applied by DOGE was very simple: if taxpayer money is being sent as aid, there should be a way to verify who received it and make sure the money isn’t being stolen or misused.

The DOJ is uncovering corruption connected to USAID contracts, Ro Khanna is attacking the person who pushed for transparency.

Elon simply asked where taxpayer money was going and whether it was actually reaching the people it was meant to help.

Ro “the Robber” Khanna should be in prison.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Wow

It’s a very simple concept, really.

If @SenWarren shared her $67M and lived on the $285K (itself a great salary) every public school teacher in her state could receive a $900 bonus and she would still make more than 3x the average salary of those teachers.

@elonmusk That is true and it’s despicable since they know exactly what they are doing. It’s not a matter of excessive political rhetoric. They just want to reach that one or two psychopaths under 350 million just as they did with Charlie.

[jay plemons @jayplemons]

The great lie is that society is divided between rich and poor.
The great truth, as David Friedberg puts it, is makers vs takers.

Makers build, create, and deliver real value: houses, software, art, businesses, and everything that moves civilization forward.

Takers watch, criticize, analyze, and politic. They push the lie that the rich hoard unfairly so the poor must seize it… all while positioning themselves to rule the chaos.

As @friedberg tells his kids: “At the end of the day, if you made something and someone else valued it, you were a maker. That was an amazing achievement. That is a great day.”

Takers thrive on division. Makers drive progress.

Time to choose your side.
