MAGA lies
The volume of MAGA lies is off the charts. A few examples.
The Latin Times reports: "Elon Musk Brands Bono a 'Liar/Idiot' for Telling Joe Rogan DOGE's USAID Cuts Have Cost 300,000 Lives "Zero people have died!" -- Musk insisted, a claim that has been widely debunked by experts. .... The 300,000 figure cited by Bono comes from a model estimating the "human cost" of DOGE's cuts to USAID, developed by Brooke Nichols, a mathematician and infectious disease professor at Boston University. The Washington Post backed Nichols' findings, reporting that roughly 96,000 adults and 200,000 children have died due to foreign aid cuts under the Trump administration."
The NYT reports: "Trump and Allies Sell Domestic Policy Bill With Falsehoods -- As the Senate considers a domestic policy bill to enact the White House’s agenda, President Trump and his allies have sought to assuage some lawmakers’ concerns over its price tag and cuts to Medicaid with inaccurate claims. .... The bill passed by the House will reduce federal spending on Medicaid by at least $600 billion over a decade and reduce enrollment by about 10.3 million people, according to a preliminary estimate from the Congressional Budget Office. But most of the changes to Medicaid have little to do with waste, fraud or abuse as defined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service."
Even if the 300,000 death estimate is 80% too high, 60,000 have died, or if 90% too high, 30,000 are dead. Neither is zero. Musk is a liar.
CNN reports on the failure of DOGE to do much of anything other than cause massive damage, despite contrary claims: "How Musk and DOGE could end up costing more than they save -- Picking apart the “estimated savings” of $175 billion on the DOGE website, Tolan told me that less than half that figure is backed up with even the most basic documentation. That means it’s possible only even to start investigating about $32 billion of savings from terminated contracts, $40 billion of savings from terminated grants and $216 million of savings from terminated leases that DOGE claims. .... Max Stier, CEO of the Partnership for Public Service, has estimated in a back-of-the-envelope way that DOGE cuts could end up costing the US $135 billion simply because it will need to retrain and rehire elements of the work force that have been let go. The federal workforce is literally in trauma — something Trump’s director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russ Vought, said was an aim of his."
Musk is a liar and Vought is a cruel, corrupt sadist.
