@cspanwj @DemocracyFwd Kim, you do a great job. You are far and away the best host. The only good one, actually. But this woman's organization is absolutely rotten with USAID money. You really should have grilled her about that. There's only one degree of indirection for most of it.

@cspanwj @DemocracyFwd Holy cow! I wish I'd had this info to start the show. Not many will see this, I'm sure. Another "notable" donor to this gal's organization is The Sixteen Thirty Fund. The Sixteen Thirty Fund is funded by... <drumroll> (my drummer's arms are getting tired)... George Soros.

@cspanwj @DemocracyFwd !!!TIME ZONE EXCLUSIVE!!! A "notable" Democracy Forward donor is Open Society Foundation. Open Society Foundation receives money from <drumroll> USAID. Like Elon said, it's a bowl of worms.

@cspanwj @DemocracyFwd “The Trump administration’s attack on USAID is part of a coordinated campaign to undermine the will of Congress and isolate America in the world,” said Skye Perryman, President and CEO of Democracy Forward.

@aztekman @cspanwj @DemocracyFwd Yes, the specific donors. When they say obscure things like "grassroots supporters" and "business" it tells us nothing.

@cspanwj @DemocracyFwd Tell the truth. Don't you laugh when you hear an organization called something like "Democracy Forward"? An inane name that stands for absolutely nothing. "Lawfare 'R' Us" would be more descriptive and honest.

@cspanwj We will fight for our right to feed at the trough of taxpayer money!!! We will fight for out right to leech money from the backs of the producers!!! We will fight for inefficiency and waste!!! We will fight to continue Pretend Land!!!

@cspanwj @ThomasASchatz Great guest.

@cspanwj @ThomasASchatz "Why rely on an outside entity to inspect government waste instead of the government?" Come on, do you really need to ask that question...

@cspanwj @ThomasASchatz It's just breaking, but I hope this guy has a few words about USAID's $500 million to Internews. VERY shady. The corruption is at unimaginable levels.

@cspanwj Kim has the patience of a saint. She gave the belligerent caller a chance to cite his source, of which there are many, and he got defensive. That list of his has been going around since the story broke, so it was a bit stale anyway. I understand his distrust, but Kim is okay.

@cspanwj Wait, what you call a "dramatic" and "substantial" change in way GOP voters support Musk was really just moving from "a tremendous amount of influence" to "a lot of influence." Not much of a change.

@cspanwj When the left is reduced to attacking Elon and calling those who support him unintelligent, you know they are stuck with trying to defend the indefensible. They must smear, they must stoke fear. It's all they have. Tens of millions caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

@cspanwj Democrats: "It's alarming that DOGE is using very high IQ people with no ties to the government." That's like saying "It's alarming Elliot Ness is hiring super-smart agents with no ties to organized crime."

@cspanwj @ThomasASchatz I hope WJ opens show with Internews. Half a billion from USAID to Internews. Matt Taibbi is working on a piece about it. It's huge. Biggest scandal in our nation's history?

@cspanwj @DemocracyFwd I'm sorry, Skye, but it hasn't been 90 days since your last appearance. So it's Open Forum callers, have at it!

@cspanwj @ThomasASchatz "waste in federal spending" seems about five orders of magnitude below what we're learning about USAID. Unimaginable corruption.

@cspanwj @MarkSZaidEsq We know the names of the young DOGE programmers, so I don't see why you want to hide the name of the corrupt FBI agents. Reminds one of how they hid the name of Ashli Babbitt's shooter.

@ConnieJobrewer2 @cspanwj @MarkSZaidEsq Here ya go. Buy one and charge it to USAID.
