How Russian influence campaigns sold lies about USAID on this platform and Elon Musk and others embraced them. nytimes.com/2025/02/07/bus…

Rinse. Repeat. Nobody elected Elon Musk. He is a rogue actor, lawless. They are trying to illegally cut programs in government which were established by Congress because they don't have the votes to do this legal means.

In a handful of weeks, Elon Musk who no one elected has done permanent damage to America's national interest and our partners around the world. He has betrayed American patriots who have served America honorably. politico.com/news/magazine/…

Incompetence and malice by Elon Musk and company against our foreign aid workers, abandoning them and the communities they serve. politico.com/news/magazine/…

I guess 𝖦𝗋𝗂𝗆𝖾𝗌 ⏳ is okay with her son being used an Elon prop in the White House for Trump to sign more racist and dangerous Executive Orders. forbes.com/sites/mollyboh…

The humanitarian waivers to enable life saving medical care and food to go through are a farce. Accounts can't be accessed. It's all theater. Many will die. nytimes.com/2025/02/12/us/…

I hope you have a presence on BlueSky soon. AAU Also, what are you doing to defend your members from Trump's attacks on higher education?

My new piece with my former DOD colleague Greg Pollock on what rollback of Inflation Reduction Act incentives would mean for national security and economic primacy. We argue that it would be akin to an act of surrender to China. nationalinterest.org/blog/energy-wo…

I hope some Senate aides read our new briefer on China battery and mineral supply chain dependencies before altering IRA rules on Section 30D or 45X. Losing local content incentives and overly restrictive FEOC rules would be a huge mistake. councilonstrategicrisks.org/2025/05/30/the…

Before the Senate alters the language of the Inflation Reduction Act, they should know how important the consumer and manufacturing incentives are to building up domestic and alternative battery supply chains to China.
