In February 2025, Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, leading the Department of Government Efficiency, slashed USAID contracts worth tens of billions, paused operations, and cut 1,600 staff, folding much into the State Department. Critics cite modeled estimates of millions of deaths by 2030 from halted aid like vaccines and food, with one post by Mohamad Safa drawing 22,000 likes by comparing the toll to Gaza's 45,000 and Ukraine's 600 child deaths. Defenders call USAID wasteful, with only 10-30 cents per dollar reaching recipients, while courts have ruled parts of the cuts unconstitutional and DOGE has since disbanded.

Key Takeaway

One year after Elon Musk called USAID cuts feeding the agency into a 'woodchipper,' a post claims those moves have killed more children than in Gaza and Ukraine combined.

The Catalan club sees 26-year-old Álvarez, fresh off a €95 million move to Atleti Madrid and loaded with trophies like a World Cup and Champions League by age 23, as the perfect versatile successor to the 37-year-old Lewandowski, whose contract ends in June. Atleti demand around €200 million and say he's not for sale, while Argentine journalist Gastón Edul says Barcelona leak interest but lack the funds to act. As a cheaper alternative, they're considering 27-year-old Marmoush, who joined City for €75 million after scoring 37 goals for Frankfurt but now sits behind Haaland with just four this season.

Key Takeaway

Barcelona dream of Julián Álvarez stepping into Robert Lewandowski's big shoes, but with tight finances, they're lining up Manchester City's Omar Marmoush as a smarter option.

The Chicago Bulls two-way guard, who three-peated the Slam Dunk Contest from 2023 to 2025 with blindfolded and cupcake slams, opted out of the 2026 event after organizers shared feedback from hesitant 'big-name guys' and friends unsure about competing against him.

Now focusing on the Rising Stars game as an injury replacement, he emphasizes playmaking and daily battles over highlight dunks, while the contest features Carter Bryant, Jaxson Hayes, Keshad Johnson, and Jase Richardson at L.A.'s Intuit Dome.

Key Takeaway

In a recent interview, longtime Amorim assistant Adélio Cândido reflected on their 14-month stint at Manchester United, praising the city's vibe and fans' project focus while pinpointing the frustration of their ideas not being fully implemented.
