Saturday, Silicon Valley Congressman Ro Khanna sat down with left-wing podcaster Jennifer Welch — who previously cheered on those celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk — to discuss the future of “progressive” governance. In a now viral clip, Khanna claimed Elon Musk “possibly sentenced to death” 4.5 million children by dismantling USAID, and demanded he be subpoenaed once Democrats retake power. The number traces back to a Lancet study published last summer projecting 14 million deaths by 2030 from USAID cuts. But the study assumes a fake world: one where DOGE’s cuts stay frozen through 2030, where the State Department’s lifesaving waiver doesn’t exist (it does), where Congress never refunds AIDS relief (it did), where two decades of clinics and supply chains vanish the second a grant lapses. It also conveniently ignores some former USAID functions (like funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology). Meanwhile, NYU statistician Aaron Brown notes the study credits USAID with preventing 11 million more deaths than the entire global mortality decline over two decades. @planetmaxwell interrogates the claim that Elon and DOGE single-handedly killed millions of children, and explains why Silicon Valley’s congressman is now laundering this as settled fact (when it’s really just propaganda).

The money being sent from USAID wasn’t for humanitarian efforts. USAID money was being LAUNDERED TO GEORGE SOROS to pay for protests Mike Benz exposes USAID has been sending money to George Soros NGOs, he then uses that money to FUND AND TRAIN PROTESTERS USAID paying for street protest handbooks to be printed “USAID gave $5 million to Open Society Foundation — USAID is actually funding George Soros and Soros is passing those funds to the people on the ground.” “USAID paid to have Saul Alinsky Street protest handbooks printed.” “The local politicians, the local judges, the local prosecutors, the local anti-corruption NGOs, the local media outlets, the local trade labor, labor groups and unions.” This is 100% true and it’s publicly available information In 2001, the Soros foundations network was listed USAID among its “donor partners” alongside other government aid agencies. There have been many documented collaborations We funded these protests handbooks USAID provided 5+ million noted in the Government Accountability Office reports for projects involving OSF-linked groups. These trained hundreds of young Macedonians in activism

BREAKING: American Airlines has just confirmed it will begin rolling out Starlink across more than 500 narrowbody aircraft starting early next year.

Ending USAID saved lives. Fact.

“The fraud is not real” Today: 455 fraudsters charged, $6.5 billion exposed *silent* Society will never improve until people and the media can look at issues with a logical perspective of: Is this right or wrong to be happening? EXPOSE IT ALL

SpaceX has cool star names for stuff. • Starfall: Will enable access to microgravity environment for scientific research & in-space manufacturing • Stargaze: Tracks objects in orbit to prevent collisions • Starshield: Secured satellite network designed specifically for government, military, and intelligence agencies • Starbase: Official incorporated city and private spaceport located in Boca Chica, Texas • Starfactory: 1+ million-square-foot advanced manufacturing facility located at Starbase • Starship: Largest and most powerful rocket ever • Starlink: Satellite internet constellation

I used to be bothered about being called a racist. Now I do not give a flying shit. Anyone else feel the same?

The open society and its enemy, Soros. While he named his Open Society Foundations after Karl Popper’s “The Open Society and Its Enemies,” his project stands as a philosophical inversion of everything Popper defended. Popper’s open society rested on critical rationalism, the recognition that no one possesses final truth, that institutions must remain open to criticism and piecemeal reform, and that democracy functions as a method for removing rulers without bloodshed. He rejected historicism, the belief in iron laws of history that justify sacrificing present generations for a utopian future, and warned that such thinking inevitably produces closed, authoritarian societies. Soros has repurposed the label to advance a grand project of engineered demographic transformation. Through mass immigration, multiculturalism as official policy, and diversity mandates that prioritize group identity over individual merit and assimilation, his foundations actively dissolve the cultural continuity and social trust that make rational criticism and incremental change possible. Popper understood that openness requires a stable framework, a shared language of reason, basic cohesion, and institutions citizens feel they collectively own. Soros treats those foundations as obstacles to be overcome in the name of an abstract, borderless openness. The concrete results are visible. Parallel societies that operate under different norms, public spaces where debate on the scale and selection of immigration is treated as illegitimate, and the rise of identity based hierarchies that close off dissent in the name of equity. These are certainly not expansions of the open society, but new forms of closure, tribal in character, enforced through institutional capture rather than overt dictatorship, yet hostile to the very critical spirit Popper placed at the center of civilized life. Philosophically, Soros replaces Popper’s falsification and humility before reality with a new historicism, the conviction that global multiculturalism and open borders represent inevitable moral progress, and that resistance from actual existing communities constitutes the new enemy. The machinery funded in the name of openness does not test its own assumptions against evidence, it suppresses the questions. Those who still value the ideal of an open society should read Popper on their own terms. They will find that Soros has not extended the open society, but has supplied its most sophisticated contemporary enemies.

Can confirm. 🇺🇸

Democrats aren’t going after Elon Musk because of “dying children.” They are pissed off that DOGE cut their USAID slush fund used to manipulate information and tilt elections in our country and foreign countries. Notice the pattern? Since the 2025 USAID cuts, 7 conservative candidates swept presidential elections across Latin America: Ecuador, Bolivia, Honduras, Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Peru. If USAID was still in place, Lula most likely wouldn’t have won in Brazil. Here, Samantha Power, the former administrator of USAID, proudly highlighted the agency’s role in influencing what she called “strategically important elections” through the Democratic Elections Fund. She also discussed how USAID funded journalists not only to report the news, but also to “fact-check” incoming information. USAID directed nearly $500 million to the Internews Network, a little-known NGO funded by the U.S. government. The organization worked with 4,291 media outlets, produced 4,799 hours of broadcasts in a single year, reached as many as 778 million people, and trained more than 9,000 journalists by 2023. Internews also supported social media censorship initiatives. USAID also funded and trained thousands of lawyers, judges, and election workers, conducted polls that questioned election legitimacy, published reports alleging fraud, and participated in overseeing new elections both in the United States and abroad, among many other activities. On the contrary, Elon Musk and DOGE actually saved millions of children. By cutting USAID influence, they let parents freely reject leftist failures on crime, economy, and socialism at the polls without manipulation.

How many people has Elon Musk personally murdered via his work helping defund USAID? I've run the numbers. USAID, as people outside of CNN's viewership already know, operates largely as a CIA cutout, placing assets on the ground in countries where the U.S. govt is intervening politically. USAID was instrumental is helping seed the following revolutions/coup d'états/civil wars: Serbia — Bulldozer Revolution (Oct. 2000) Venezuela — coup attempt + sustained OTI funding (April 2002) Georgia — Rose Revolution (Nov. 2003) Ukraine — Orange Revolution (2004) Haiti — Ouster of Aristide (Feb. 2004) Lebanon — Cedar Revolution (2005) Belarus — opposition funding, "Jeans Revolution" and after — attempted, failed (2006) Honduras — Coup against Zelaya (Jun. 2009) Cuba — ZunZuneo / "Cuban Twitter" — attempted, failed (2010–12) Tunisia — "Arab Spring" (2011) Egypt — "Arab Spring" (2011–12) Ukraine — Euromaidan / Revolution of Dignity (2014) Bolivia — anti-Morales funding; 2013 expulsion; 2019 ouster Kyrgyzstan — Tulip Revolution (March 2005) Without U.S. intervention, it's hard to see how any of these would have gotten off the ground. Some back-of-the-envelope math on these conflicts' bodycount: Venezuela (2002): 19 Haiti (2004): ~300 Maidan event (2014): ~100+ killed. Bolivia (2019): 36 Donbas war (2014–2022): 14,200–14,400 military & civilian deaths. Ukraine full-scale war (2022–present), deaths, both sides, mil + civ: roughly 350,000–500,000 killed. So far we're up to somewhere north of 365,000 deaths, more likely north of 500K. What else do we have? USAID also helped fund poppy (heroin) farmers in Afghanistan. Unfortunately I haven't seen estimates of how many have died as a result of this taxpayer funded drug dealing, but I'm assuming they're not small numbers. USAID also worked with groups sexually abusing/trafficking children in Kenya (2021), and the Central African Republic (2013). Much earlier, during Vietnam, USAID helped the CIA arm & feed Hmong guerrillas fighting communist forces (not the worst thing). USAID also helped the Hmong militia & other warlords smuggle opium (a far less forgivable thing). While the final tally is hard to properly calculate, if past is predicate, in helping shutdown USAID, @elonmusk could be saving hundreds of thousands of lives, thousands of African children, & millions of people around the world susceptible to opiate addiction. Get this man a Peace Prize, @NobelPrize
