Is Donald Trump going to respond to Musk’s email and report on what he did last week?

To help, I’ve gone ahead and done it for him. A thread:

If this ignorant clown had read the Federalist Papers he would know the founders specifically warned against the dangers of passive-aggressive emails from the executive.

[Jamie Schler @lifesafeast]

That’s it.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

[Popular Liberal 🇺🇸 @PopularLiberal]

WOW! Congressman Greg Casar from Texas, an emerging Democratic figure, exposed corruption and tyranny within the Trump and Musk administrations by revealing that five inspector generals were fired to prevent impartial investigations into Musk’s companies to reduce waste and increase transparency and accountability for taxpayers.

Musk is pocketing a jaw-dropping $8 MILLION DAILY from taxpayers! How much longer will we turn a blind eye to this injustice?

Thank you, Breggy for the moments, memories and leadership. We wish you all the best in Boston.

After demanding to meet with the puppets Elon sent to take over USAID, we were turned away & told they wouldn’t talk with us or defend the legality of what is going on right now.

This is a constitutional crisis. Elon is stealing taxpayer money. We are fighting back. We will win.

Live at USAID to fight back against billionaires stealing taxpayer money for another tax cut for themselves. https://t.co/UM6TREBTo4

Atul Gawande confirms 50 top USAID officials removed. DOGE teams forced their way into USAID offices this weekend, he confirmed to Fox News.

“This is a gift to our enemies and competitors. This pause is not a pause. It’s the destruction of the agency.”

“Two weeks ago I was combatting diseases. We had 21 serious outbreaks at the time worldwide. Three are serious now: an Ebola outbreak in the capital of Uganda. Bird flu has broken out in 49 countries. Our efforts to contain them have all been shut down.”

In terms of HIV treatment and prevention: USAID was funding the treatment for 20 million people with HIV worldwide including 6.5 million orphans and their care givers.

“We were on the verge of ending HIV, TB, and malaria. That has all ended with this pause. It is a gift to our enemies and competitors,” Gawande said.

“We were funding demining operations in Vietnam to allow farmers to get back to their fields so people can farm.”

“The insanity and cruelty to break this independent agency…they (DOGE teams) took down the USAID Memorial Wall which honored employees killed in the line of duty overseas…Lebanon in the 1980s, USAID personnel killed during the bombing of the U.S. Embassy. Their Memorial torn down.
These attacks are spurious and dangerous.”

Those who have worked for USAID now and in the past: “They are being treated with enormous disrespect and fear. The top 3 layers of experienced employees have been removed. All contract employees have been or will be terminated…2/3 of the malaria staff, child immunization experts. This kills our capacity. It’s insane to break this. It’s cruel and it does our country enormous damage.”

“If you want to end foreign aid, let’s have that discussion, but this is a Congressionally statutorily created agency that President Kennedy signed into law. What is happening now is an unlawful shutdown and purge,” Gawande told Fox News.

“800 people work for USAID’s Global Health, 400 have been terminated. It’s not legal.”
“It’s an unlawful shutdown, purge and dismantling of the agency.”

“John Voorhees, our experienced security expert, was put on administrative leave for not letting unauthorized people from DOGE into classified systems. He was just following the law.”

“They have turned into a shell overnight an organization that reaches 100s of millions of people around the world. Our health programs added 6 extra years of life to children by eradicating diseases. That is all being decimated with spurious charges of corruption and mismanagement. It is a playbook coming to an agency near you.”

“Every administration does a top to bottom review of programs and whether they are working or wasteful. There is no need to shut down the agency to do a review. It’s like pausing a hospital or stopping a plane mid flight. You are pausing funding to hospitals where 100 malnourished children are being given life saving support. Teams have been hollowed out. You can’t just switch that back on. There will be large scale layoffs at U.S. companies that we have worked with for years to provide these services overseas. It is very dangerous and cruel.”

[Jennifer Griffin @JenGriffinFNC]

Atul Gawande, former USAID head of Global Health on purge at USAID tells Fox “it’s insane and cruel to break this agency” “it’s a gift to our enemies” 21 serious outbreaks of disease no longer being addressed. MORE

Donald Trump’s big weakness just came front and center

Trump’s 2024 inauguration saw far fewer viewers than President Biden’s inauguration. It’s fun to see the narcissistically ratings-obsessed Trump get clobbered in humiliating fashion. But it also points to something else...

Bob Uecker taught me something about broadcasting long before I was ever a broadcaster. Let me explain. 🧵

[MLB @MLB]

We are saddened to learn of the passing of Bob Uecker, a legendary ambassador for our game.

After a six-year playing career with the Braves, Cardinals and Phillies from 1962-67, Uecker spent more than half a century as “Voice of the Brewers” beginning in 1971.

Uecker’s self-deprecating humor endeared him to a national audience. He appeared in popular movies, commercials, talk shows, and even starred in his own TV sitcom. As a broadcaster, he worked national telecasts, All-Star Games, and the World Series. His dry style and wit belied a deep knowledge and passion for baseball, all of which made him one of the game’s finest broadcasters.

Uecker, a member of the 1964 World Series champion Cardinals, was the 2003 Ford C. Frick Award winner and a five-time Wisconsin Sportscaster of the Year. He was 90 years old.
