If Lutheran Social Services operates senior care facilities across the upper Midwest they are bound to receive a shitload of payments from Medicare and Medicaid. Nothing wrong with that. So DOGE/MAGA wants to shut this down which will kill people. This was always the danger of allowing Musk to access this data so he could breach security and weaponize innocent payments. And MAGA is generally so stupid they will believe this is corrupt and illegal payments since fElon said so.

Our board Trump voters will be on here defending this as soon as they get their talking points from their media bubble. Just watch.

I said since the election, thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, of Americans will needlessly die due to ttump, just like the first time around. Within the first few days, I'm thinking I was sanguine. The removal of USAID is another story, but will almost certainly result in hundreds of thousands (probably millions) of unnecessary international deaths. See funding of health clinics, HIV drugs, malaria, mpox, etc.

As a direct result of Musk's meddling and the malignant malice of ttump, miller, vought, et al. nursing homes and hospitals will shut down; ttump et al. are hiding information regarding communicable diseases and public health risks (i.e. they'll let corporations dump metaphorical cancer into rivers x, y, z); ttump et al. are creating barriers to care for people on Medicare and Medicaid; they're hamstringing research into cancer, genetic disorders, etc..

My healthcare system is scrambling just to fill vacant clinical roles, while also loosely communicating an ominous future, i.e. uncertain reliability of medicare and medicaid payments, planning for significant budget cuts, pairing back specialty care, etc. Mind you, this is a teaching and research institution that right now is so overloaded and understaffed that cancer patients are boarded in hallway nooks; the emergency department literally has patients lining the hallways, for 50 yards, outside the department (not to mention the waiting room chaos). An element of this is certainly the dearth of qualified clinicians vs demand; however, the money is there to fund all of the necessary care and research, but the techbroligarchs and fascists are actively consolidating power and resources for themselves and their cronies, at the expense of 99.8% of everyone else.

I’m not sure. Maybe Ramrouser will. The other Pubs seem to be getting a sense of how bad this is. HeelYeah will only engage on transphobic discussions, so I’m not sure what he thinks about the broader authoritarian takeover, but I’m pretty sure people like Callatoroy are rapidly figuring out that their predictions of a benign, mostly constructive Trump 2.0 were wildly naive.
 


“… Three of the sources said the DOGE personnel wanted to gain access to security systems and personnel files. Two of those sources said also they wanted access to classified information.

USAID Director of Security John Voorhees and his deputy are the latest officials who have been put on leave amid fears that the agency is being intentionally dismantled by the Trump administration. Rumors are swirling that President Donald Trump intends to sign an executive order to fold USAID into the US State Department – a move that Democratic lawmakers say is illegal.

… Around 60 senior USAID staff were put on leave last week on accusations of attempting to circumvent the executive order on foreign aid. Another senior official was put on leave for trying to reverse that move after finding no evidence of wrongdoing.

One source said the entire USAID public affairs office was put on leave and locked out of their systems.“

The traditional media has basically collapsed now. They have no idea what to do with this new world. Dems will have to find a messaging strategy that does not include them.

To be fair, the people that need to hear what the traditional media have to say are too busy listening to Joe Rogan interview a guy who does nothing but eat raw meat and hit on HS girls because they haven’t yet developed a sense of “being able to do better.”

Security Official at Aid Agency Put on Leave After Denying Access to Musk Team

Workers at the U.S. Agency for International Development are bracing for a loss of its independent status and sweeping layoffs as President Trump continues slashing foreign aid.

The top security official at the U.S. Agency for International Development was put on administrative leave on Saturday night after refusing to give representatives of Elon Musk access to internal systems, according to three U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter.

John Voorhees, U.S.A.I.D.’s director of security, is the latest senior official at the agency to be put on administrative leave. Last week, Trump administration appointees suspended about 60 senior officials and fired hundreds of contractors. There has been talk among current and former agency employees and lawmakers that the agency could be subsumed within the State Department in a drastically reduced form.

The deputy security official working under Mr. Voorhees was also put on leave, one U.S. official said.

U.S.A.I.D., which is funded by Congress and takes some guidance from the State Department, has otherwise operated independently. Mr. Voorhees could not immediately be reached for comment.

“USAID is a criminal organization,” Mr. Musk wrote on Sunday in a social media post that many aid workers saw as confirmation the agency would soon be absorbed into the State Department and that some viewed as a potential threat to their personal safety. “Time for it to die.”

I expected it to be far, far worse than Trump 1.0, but I didn’t expect this kind of fuckery so soon. My prognostications for where we would be in 4 years may turn out to be a best-case-scenario fantasy.
