And naturally Elon stays winning

It all seems to add up to something big. On a daily, sometimes hourly, basis, Elon Musk claims that his team of fiscal commandos has found yet more government fraud, terminated another wasteful contract or even scrapped an entire agency. Mr Musk's supporters believe that, through tech wizardry and sheer willpower, he is slashing the federal deficit in a way that has eluded politicians for years. But this narrative has a glaring flaw: our review of official data shows that Mr Musk's efforts have scarcely made a dent in spending.

Every working day the Treasury publishes a statement detailing withdrawals of cash from its primary deposit account, providing the best high-frequency indicator of government spending. Since Donald Trump took office a little more than three weeks ago, outlays have averaged $30bn a day. Compare that with the same period last year under Joe Biden: federal spending back then came to about $26bn a day. Outflows from the Treasury have actually risen since January 28th, when Mr Musk first claimed his "Department of Government Efficiency", or DOGE, was saving the federal government $1bn a day. Looking at the bigger picture, the government's spending trajectory in the current fiscal year, which began in October, basically resembles that of the past two years.

They don't even want freedom for themselves. What they want is the people they dislike to suffer more than they are. They know they'll lose things they love from all this, but as long as those dirty non-christian gays, or trans, or blacks, or immigrants are having a worse day than they are, then they will be happy. It's worse than you think. It's all about seeing how many people they can make more miserable than they are. (80)

It's not worse than I think, it's worse than I'm willing to admit out loud in the hopes that I'm wrong. (22)

Lmao Reddit continues to lose elections for us.Seriously, Democrats are normal people - but Reddit is such an embarrassment.Genuinely not sure you folks go outside of a space that isn't propping up your every viewpoint.Have you ever considered how the other side feels about the plethora of decisions our Democrat presidents make?Wait, let me guess:"Everything a democrat does is good - and everything a republican does is bad - that's fact!!!! Therefore they are wrong no matter what."That's literally the argument Reddit democrats use. We've lost to the "worst literally ever Hitler Nazi common male feminist bad guy orange man" twice now.It's not because of him. ITS BECAUSE OF YOU. Stop being a pathetic groveling baby and try being understanding of people who don't share your opinions (Can't wait for the "their opinions are racist and threaten my existence" bullshit).We will continue to lose elections as long as we continue to act like insufferable pestilent children.

I'm scared honestly. I knew he was a threat from the beginning but that he was too weak last time to pull it off. Not enough backing, but now, he's got so many people pulling his strings. He's not senile, he's owned. They are keeping him out of prison, he's knows his time is limited and he doesn't want to spend what he has left in prison, paying for his crimes. I'm ashamed that so many people are defending the obvious actions of a nazi sympathiser. I'm ashamed that after 2016, I learned that there were so many nasty and racist people in the world. They were just really good at hiding. After the 2016 win it was like it was ok to be hateful again and since then it's only gotten worse. I'm scared for anyone who isn't a white male, and if you're not one of those white males then once they find out, you're screwed too. There is no shame anymore, they don't hide their faces anymore. They're out, loud and proud of it. I'm scared for my daughters, and any women, me included but for the most... (1)

The people on this threads must have never had a dog or taken care of another living being in their lives. This happens when you own an animal, it completely normal. They are playing and its safe. Someone making a loud noise is not the dogs fault but the humans. The owner should have seen its just safe play and not interfered.

An east London councillor has been charged with perverting the course of justice by allegedly trying to influence a 16-year-old girl into dropping her allegation of r*pe.

Abdul Malik, 50, who represents Blackwall and Cubitt Town ward on Tower Hamlets Council, was due to appear at Thames magistrates court on Friday to face the charge for the first time.

It is said he "contacted the father of a 16-year-old complainant of r*pe and told him to get his daughter to drop the charges against the male alleged to have r*ped her and get him out of custody, which had a tendency to pervert the course of public justice".

The incident is alleged to have happened on January 23. The father and aunt of the suspected male feminist are accused of also intervening two weeks earlier.

Abdul Roqib, 45, is accused of contacting the 16-year-old on January 10 "to ask her to drop the charges against his son, which had a tendency to pervert the course of public justice".

Rahela Begum, 41, is also accused of also contacting the girl on the same day to allegedly try to convince her to withdraw from the criminal case.

All three defendants are due to appear in court to face a charge of committing an act or series of acts with intent to pervert the course of public justice.

Malik sits on Tower Hamlets council for the Aspire Party, which is led by the borough's directly-elected Mayor Lutfur Rahman.

He currently sits as chair of the Human Resources Committee, and also has a seat on the licensing committee, having first been elected to the council in 2022.

It is understood Malik, of Mercury Walk, Tower Hamlets, Roqib, of Warrior Square in Manor Park, and Begum, of Rye Road in Hoddesdon, were held in custody before their court hearing.

Sure, I've neglected everything else I'm supposed to be doing but look at that view count.

OP

USAID has pushed nearly half a billion dollars ($472.6m) through a secretive US government financed NGO, "Internews Network" (IN), which has "worked with" 4,291 media outlets, producing in one year 4,799 hours of broadcasts reaching up to 778 million people and "training" over 9000 journ*lists (2023 figures). IN has also supported social media censorship initiatives.

The operation claims "offices" in over 30 countries, including main offices in US, London, Paris and regional HQs in Kiev, Bangkok and Nairobi. It is headed up by Jeanne Bourgault, who pays herself $451k a year. Bourgault worked out of the US embassy in Moscow during the early 1990s, where she was in charge of a $250m budget, and in other revolts or conflicts at critical times, before formally rotating out of six years at USAID to IN.

Bourgault's IN bio and those of its other key people and board members have been recently scrubbed from its website but remain accessible at . Records show the board being co-chaired by Democrat securocrat Richard J. Kessler and Simone Otus Coxe, wife of NVIDIA billionaire Trench Coxe, both major Democratic donors. In 2023, supported by Hillary Clinton, Bourgault launched a $10m IN fund at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). The IN page showing a picture of Bourgault at the CGI has also been deleted.

IN has at least six captive subsidiaries under unrelated names including one based out of the Cayman Islands. Since 2008, when electronic records begin, more than 95% of IN's budget has been supplied by the US government (thread follows)

USAID-funded Internews went from funding media organizations with George Soros to overthrow governments in Eastern Europe to calling for advertising boycotts to censor free speech online.

This is a textbook example of U.S. regime change tactics being redirected against domestic populism and American citizens.

In the 1990s, Internews partnered with the Soros Foundation to fund media organizations in post-Soviet nations, playing a pivotal role in the color revolutions of the 2000s in Serbia, Georgia, and Ukraine.

During Georgia's Rose Revolution, Internews funded and trained journ*lists at Rustavi-2 TV, the leading channel driving the uprising.

"Media was very good at informing the public about what was going on, and it had a huge role in calling people onto the streets." – Marc Behrendt, former Internews director for Georgia

By 2003, in Ukraine, Internews had conducted 220 media training programs, trained over 2,800 journ*lists, and produced more than 220 television and 1,000 radio programs. It also funded Telekritika, an online outlet that played a central role in the 2004 Orange Revolution.

After Brexit and Donald Trump's election in 2016, Internews—now working with the USAID-funded World Economic Forum (WEF)—shifted its focus to pushing advertising boycotts to suppress online dissent.

What was once a U.S.-funded operation to overthrow foreign regimes is now being used to silence American citizens and dismantle Trump's populist MAGA movement.

The Price Tag?

USAID has funneled over $470 million in taxpayer dollars into Internews.

I can tell you where the bodies are buried here. Beyond funding a parallel Mockingbird Media propaganda army of US state-sponsored journ*lists and media outlets, USAGM plays a major role in the censorship industry through something called the OTF, the Open Technology Fund.
