Welcome to the big news for February 20th, 2025. These are the stories you’ll want to have your eyes on. Consider this both a public service as well as a way for me to not freak out. I take comfort in know other people are aware of these things. So, let’s commence with the big news. A Stacy Abrams, Doge scandal and some startling update on the Jab.
Let’s start with DOGE uncovering 2 billion Dollars that was headed towards Stacy Abrams non-profit.
This seems to be one of the more typical recipes for this kind of thing. Set up a non-profit with a righteous sounding name and mission statement and back up the trucks for the money. Sadly, I’m guessing this is all legal. We all know it’s really fraud and theft, but in court? Gonna be hard to win the case against Stacy. We’ll keep an eye on this one.
Now here’s a disturbing story about the jab. Had to pass this along.
Not a good day for the ‘trust the government to do the right thing’ peeps.
Lastly? Doge discovered the Dept of the Treasury failed to trace 4.7 trillion dollars in payments. They have no receipts. It’s just… gone.
That’s the big news for today. It’s such a downer. Hopefully it also serves as a motivator. Keeps us all on the path to a better tomorrow. But just in case you’re bummed out? Enjoy this!
So Trump fully siding with Putin and claiming that Ukraine started the war didn’t make the cut for important news stories?
Nope. Did that happen? Feels like that didn’t happen.
