Supreme Court rejects Trump’s request to keep billions in foreign aid frozen

Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s dismantling of USAID will lead to millions of preventable deaths.

The decision of the richest person in the world to destroy an agency that delivers life-saving aid to the poorest people on the planet is unconscionable. pic.twitter.com/FacKQv4oNM

Omg. In a shocking moment, Nancy Bolan, a fired USAID worker and tonight’s guest of Rep. Ritchie Torres — reveals that Donald Trump has pulled the U.S. from the global polio eradication initiative — which threatens its spread to the U.S. Every single American should see this. pic.twitter.com/KsuH7EF24r

Fox Business interviewed the owner of a Pennsylvania auto dealership who says of Trump’s tariffs, “nobody is gonna buy the truck, because it just had $20,000 price increase … this is pretty radical.”

A tariff is a TAX.

The company pays it — then passes along the cost as a price increase to YOU.

So Donald Trump is raising YOUR taxes 25%.

Elon Musk is the richest man in the world. He could be a philanthropist, end world hunger. He could donate to hospitals, fund cancer research, build schools, start scholarships. Instead he delights in firing people and denying food to starving kids.

This is exactly the problem. You can’t take the “move fast and break things” mentality of Silicon Valley into the federal government, a place where if you break things, people die, or have their rights violated, or can’t access essential services. https://t.co/H3eTiEU1R2

The heartbreak

Trump wants us to believe that USAID is bankrupting America—when in reality, it’s less than 1% of the federal budget.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. This is a man who could end world hunger… pic.twitter.com/5h8tRu5uw0

Yesterday, Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.

Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressional mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

We are barreling toward a full blown constitutional crisis.

Trump’s announcement that he’s ending thousands of aid contracts FUNDED BY CONGRESS is unconstitutional and illegal – and horrible for our security.

This is the twitter employee Elon Musk is trying to publicly shame today, Iceland’s person of the year who was born with muscular dystrophy into a working class home and built a tech company, sold it to twitter and then paid the full tax rate:

gotta say, this thread where an employee who had access cut over a week ago with no word from hr very sincerely tries to figure out if he was fired (he was) only to get repeatedly belittled and mocked by his boss, the richest man in the world, is real fucking infuriating, man https://t.co/Htt8xrFnv0

Halli is an award winning designer whose company was acquired by Twitter.

Halli was born with muscular dystrophy in a working class family. He chose a higher tax rate for the sale to pay back into the Icelandic social system.

Hi again @elonmusk 👋

I hope you are well.

I’m fine too. I’m thankful for your interest in my health.

But since you mentioned it, I wanted to give you more info.

I have muscular dystrophy. It has many effects on my body.

Let me tell you what they are: https://t.co/2vb16kP6Yv

Wait, is this a joke. I tweeted my Post & Mastodon social media links to @HC_Richardson to also connect with her there, and Twitter labeled them “sensitive content.”

No idea if this is Twitter breaking down or new ownership discouraging people from leaving Twitter. Smh pic.twitter.com/ma6KV0RNaF

Any post with a link to a Mastodon profile is being deemed “unsafe” by Twitter, and prominent technology journalists who write about Twitter have just been banned.

That’s one way to deal with critics (& competing platforms) I guess.

But it sure as hell isn’t freedom of speech
