The Lever reported Tuesday that USAID’s inspector general was in the process of investigating its own public-private partnership between Musk’s Starlink and the Ukrainian government at the time that the billionaire’s DOGE crippled the agency. Publicly available information about that probe is still online. An announcement from last May reads: “The USAID Office of Inspector General, Inspections and Evaluations Division, is initiating an inspection of USAID’s oversight of Starlink satellite terminals provided to the Government of Ukraine. Our objectives are to determine how (1) the Government of Ukraine used the USAID-provided Starlink terminals, and (2) USAID monitored the Government of Ukraine’s use of USAID-provided Starlink terminals.”

      And that trump’s team of minions legally cheated and then probably did some fuckery behind the scenes. It’s not black and white. He was very confident he was going to win months before the election and Biden showing how old he is.

          Yeah, unfortunately you absolutely need it now. The trolls aren’t as bad as the old place, but they’re still here and they’re smarter.
