Elon and the Trump White House are completely full of crap. They have provided ZERO evidence that the funds are actually for the things he claims they are.

Would also say, it is some serious cherry picking. Funds for disaster relief, farming, healthcare? Those would be the big bucks. If he is truly for transparency, do not cherry pick.

Ridiculous. Suggesting that funding a trans opera in Columbia is an acceptable use of taxpayer dollars and it’s just “cherry picking” to point it out is insulting to the voters.

The country is spelled Colombia.

Are you this bigoted against Muslims and Jews too? Does a hijab make you unhappy?

Hijab is not equal to cross.

This is why the USAID money should be spent teaching critical thinking skills in US public schools rather than supporting corrupt governments in Egypt, Israel, Pakistan, Ethiopia and Colombia

As just an example, here is a link to the grant for the Ireland DEI musical fund.

https://www.usaspending.gov/award/ASST_NON_SEI30022GR0010_1900

The trans opera in a Columbia was approved by the state department’s bureau of western hemisphere affairs, backed up by the house foreign affairs chairman.

The department and chairman approved these projects should be ashamed of themselves.

Hope they get investigated and charged.

It is absolutely cherry picking. He decried the entire agency as fraud and his example is worth a couple tens of thousands of dollars.

DP to add I am insulted as a voter that he is cherry picking rather than actually being transparent. That and his illegal override of congress and more.

True. Hijab represents slavery of the woman. I’ve seen them with chains on their faces.

The country is spelled Colombia.

Is the correct spelling of the country's name based on a $1 million research grant funded by USAID?

The administration on Saturday urged the USAID staff to join the effort to transform how Washington allocates aid around the world in line with Trump's "America First" policy. It also threatened "disciplinary action" for any staff ignoring the administration's orders.
An internal memo sent to USAID employees on Monday evening said the new leadership identified several actions in the agency that "appeared to be designed to circumvent the President's Executive Orders and the mandate from the American people."
"As a result, we have placed a number of USAID employees on administrative leave with full pay and benefits until further notice while we complete our analysis of these actions," Acting Administrator Jason Gray said in the memo, reviewed by Reuters.

USAID believed it was accountable to no one.

The dollar amount of these expenditures is nothing for the Federal government. The administration is just continuing it's culture wars. If this is the best they have, they don't have anything.

And what's a cross? An execution device that Christians like to use as a symbol of their devotion by forcing people to live how they think is holy. Because Jesus forced people to live how he wanted them to, right?

American voters demand accountability.

The Republican Congress approved these budgets.

If there was questionable spending by USAID, then that’s why we have OIGs, Congressional oversight hearings, etc. This idea that Elon Musk is capable of rooting out government waste and corruption in a matter of days by personally shutting things down is a farse. He is not a check and balance on our three-branch system of government.

Per what you said, how are you feeling the performance of OIG on those grants exposed by Musk?

I could ask the IGs but they've all been illegally fired.

Hmm.

Nothing illegal about their firing.
