Trump and Elon Musk destroyed most of the global H.I.V. program that saved hundreds of thousands of lives in Zambia. Now the US is threatening to cut remaining support, unless Zambia gives access to the country’s mineral resources.

tbh Elon Musk might be one of the worst people ever to live 1. He helps put an insane person in power 2. Because he wants to buy a government job from said insane person 3. Uses that government job to revoke lifesaving aid from tens of millions 4. Inflict huge institutional rot along the way

After being sworn in, anybody testifying before Congress should be asked who won the 2020 election. If they won't say "Biden," then they're dismissed. Why would we want testimony (or the confirmation of) somebody who is unwilling to state this basic fact?
