Are all government accounts on X just troll accounts now? This is from the official House Foreign Affairs Committee—the same committee responsible for foreign aid, global HIV/AIDS policy, security assistance, and national security. This is how they choose to represent themselves.

Friends, it's been a confusing week for all of us at #USAID as DOGE and the braintrust at State/F defy court orders, demonstrate total incompetence in handling complex systems, and issue orders that sound like they're from a Monty Python sketch. But it's not funny- here's our latest update 🧵 1/

COURAGEOUS Nicholas Enrich (of the few remaining at USAID) was put on admin leave. Why? He answered HONESTLY how many will DIE because of dismantling USAID. Musk took nutrition packets out of the mouths of children & left medicine and mosquito nets rotting in warehouses. While Rubio watched.

Musk asserted that his slash-and-burn assault on USAID had no negative impact on combating Ebola was disinformation. He was hiding the truth on a critical global health issue. @davidcorn.bsky.social spoke about Musk’s claim with Jeremy Konyndyk, president of Refugees International.

Pretty damning evidence tipping the scales on the question of whether Musk is pro-apartheid.

Musk is calling USAID “evil” and saying it must die. Trump is suddenly interested in cutting off funding to South Africa. For those wondering why the sudden focus on this, might we suggest digging into the role USAID played in ending apartheid? —> adst.org/2021/06/amer...
