If he had phrased it as “aren’t an example of waste, fraud, or abuse” then your long point might have some substance. That’s not what he said - he specifically and only says that protecting kids isn’t wasteful. You might want to step back and consider you might be trying to see more than what’s there for your own biases.
And all the sentences matter. Without context few would understand what he was talking about. The first describes the problem initially as presented to the CDC. The second is the CDC’s response in light of admin cuts to every damn thing they can. The last is simply stating that once again money is favored over public safety, even kids’ safety.
Btw, there always has been waste, fraud, and abuse in lots of places, including the government. How you determine what is and isn’t such things and do something about them is key to whether it improves or worsens things. And DOGE is neither of these, it’s an absolute money grabbing with no plan or structure. Hence the point of this tweet.
So it’s framing if he doesn’t include in a tweet specific about the CDC and leave a side note that all of the efforts to find waste and such is a sham. Which would remove the focus on the topic about the kids, and isn’t necessary because most anyone is going to know he’s talking about the subject of the CDC being cut and how it affects this singular issue.
Not everything can include all subjects, that’s almost a form of Gish Galloping where everything is mentioned but nothing is talked about enough to matter.

so you wrote all that to just jerk off instead of simply answer the plainly asked question. you are part of the problem.
edit: you know i made a point when they go and downvote things i’ve said in complete other locations.

Congratulations, that was the most insufferable comment I’ve seen all week.

Same. In a good way. Lots of jargon(god I hope that was jargon) and was a challenge.
