@Momsplaining101 ✅ I grew up in VA along the WVA line. There have been disastrous floods in Appalachia as long as mtns + rivers + rain have been there— but NOTHING this widespread + all encompassing. Multiple counties’ entire infrastructure is wiped away. It will take DECADES to recover. 💔

@megynkelly Oh my why would you want to be anywhere near someone that disrespected you so thoroughly? How embarrassing. I think you need therapy.

Hey for what’s it worth I have been called a c*nt, libtard, moron, retarded, and had every swear word you can imagine for stating my opinion on this site, because my opinions are based on what I read from reputable nonpartisan sources, including science journals. And additionally for what’s it’s worth, your consistent reference to “the other side” is unproductive, IMO. Othering is a thing, and it leads to division when what we need now is unity. Have fun in Aspen. I lived there FT for a few years— long ago— and still have a place I go to whenever I can.

Tbh, you’re being a bit disingenuous. Of course USAID falls under that designation. It wouldn’t have a budget if Congress hadn’t approved it. I think you know that. I actually haven’t seen any “fraud” yet. I have seen lots of programs and agencies experience indiscriminate cuts and even wholesale elimination because what they were doing is at odds with the Project 2025 folks. Sure, elections have consequences. But the way they are going about this is pretty sus. Firing the IGs for example, when they’re literally the people who investigate fraud and corruption in their respective agencies. Putting out Orwellian lists of words that aren’t allowed to be used in research or funding will be cut off. What are these people so afraid of? And people who are cheering this on don’t seem to have an understanding of how disruptive this process is going to be if it isn’t done more thoughtfully. I recently read that the federal government accounts for 20% of the country’s economy. Those “wasteful” USAID programs? They buy the food from American farmers. The funding for research? It is paid back many times over by the benefits it provides to the computing, biotech, agriculture, pharmaceutical, construction, engineering, etc etc etc companies and sectors who profit from the results. Just unilaterally tossing this into a dumpster is nonsensical. I don’t know why the guy isn’t willing to do it in a way that would actually be helpful.

@MarthaJohn1679 @PhilMickelson @DavidSacks They aren’t “auditing” anything. You are woefully misinformed. They’re just shutting down things without having a clue if they’re wasteful or not. You’re getting conned.

@pamelab53951810 @BadFoxGraphics @Sec_Noem It’s kind of amazing that with their money they have such terrible plastic surgeons. Believe me there are surgeons out there who actually do great work.

What are you even talking about???? You went to law school at Yale and you don’t understand this basic premise of the Constitution????? And now you’re the VP of the US and you’re spouting this ridiculous drivel??? My god, man. Dig deep and find a shred of self respect for yourself and stop acting like a lunatic.

@baldridgecpa Ummmmm. It's not being "done well". It's being sledgehammered with absolutely no consideration for institutional knowledge, national security, or the Constitution. It's a fucking disgrace and I can't believe someone like yourself is falling for it. Sad.

@JeffBoyle @baldridgecpa You cannot seriously be suggesting that a guy who went bankrupt 6 times knows how to run a business? HahahahahaHA. The dude managed to bankrupt a casino ffs. He quite obviously does not know how to run a business.

@Sue66663333 @BrittNotABot @acnewsitics Lady, you gotta have customers for any business/industry sector to grow quickly. Fire a bunch of white-collar workers and watch the law of supply and demand do its thing.
