💸 Finally, My Tax Dollars Are Being Used to Uncover Publicly Available Government Information /// McSweeney’s

I’ve long wondered where my tax dollars are going but haven’t bothered to do the five minutes of research it would take to learn that all that information is already meticulously documented and tracked in numerous publiclyavailable reports and websites.

Thankfully, that straightforward accountability is ending, as the new administration is taking down the USAID and other government websites. Instead, they are posting snippets of decontextualized, often purposely mischaracterized information about a few of the thousands of government-funded efforts, which are intended to turn Americans against their own government and stage a hostile takeover–the best use of my tax dollars.

Basically quoting have the piece here and it’s one that isn’t really trying to hard to hide its disdain or even pretend—its just stating facts.
