Just finished Nicholas Enrich's new book, "Into the Wood Chipper," about Doge's destruction of USAID. It's a window into an asylum in which clueless zealots around Elon Musk were killing aid recipients worldwide without having a clue what they were even doing. Original post

Looking for a Mothers Day present? Sure, flowers and brunch are great. But also consider a donation to , which celebrates moms by trying to keep them alive worldwide. This year it is supporting @TrickleUp, a great global grassroots organization. Original post

Good to see that the White House Correspondents Association ordered an Oregon Pinot. Always the best, whether or not guns are blazing. The price seems high, though. @KristofFarms could have given you a better deal for a fantastic Pinot! Repost of @gothburz: Original post

Excellent piece by @snolen about increasing deaths from AIDS in Zambia because of Trump’s cuts in humanitarian aid. PEPFAR was one of America’s policy triumphs, reversing the tide of AIDS, but now we are retreating. Original post

Unbelievable London Marathon result! TWO men break the two-hour barrier. Sebastian Sawe won in 1:59:30. That's a 4:33 mile pace, sustained for more than 26 miles. And, unlike Pheidippides, he didn't drop dead at the end. Repost of @ChrisChavez: Original post

Aside from @Timodc’s woefully poor judgment about Pinot Noir, we had a great discussion about the world’s woes and how to fix them. Original post

Journalists worldwide should stand up for colleagues who are murdered. Original post

Great discussion with @Timodc on the @BulwarkOnline about the messed-up Iran War; Israel, the West Bank and Lebanon; Democrats needing to fix blue places; and how journalism can be part of the solution. Not to mention a plane crash in Congo. Listen up: Original post

Such an important piece about the importance of encouraging measles vaccinations to provide herd immunity for those who can't be vaccinated, by a mom who lost her daughter to measles: in @nytopinion Hope RFKJr. reads this. Original post

With just the cost of Trump's Iran war so far, we could have: 1.) introduced national day care for all 3- and 4-year-olds; and 2.) introduced free college education for all families earning less than $125,000 a year. Just a reminder of opportunity cost. Original post

Also troubling that Trump, frustrated by the failure of his war on Iran so far, is still thinking of ways to deepen it. Repost of @firasmodad: Original post

Trump's war on Iran has so depleted munitions stockpiles that some officials note that it would be more difficult to defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese attack: by the @wsj. More than 3/4 of Thaad and Patriot interceptors appear to have been used up. Original post

In Oregon we're full of good, liberal intentions and supposedly understand the importance of education. Yet we have some of the worst educational outcomes in the country: awful NAEP scores and graduation rates, high absenteeism -- and now this: Original post

Some 600,000 fewer lives will be saved because of shortfalls in funding @gavi, the international Vaccine Alliance: Who was the biggest funder? The US. And although Congress approved money for GAVI, Trump froze funding for it in January. Original post

So much admiration for journalists in Lebanon, trying to cover the news and sometimes dying for it. Journalists should never be targets. Repost of @Alihashem: Original post

USAID employees represented some of the best of the US, advancing our interests and saving a life on average every six seconds. Now? Most were laid off, and this heartbreaking piece says half are still jobless. Original post

The Republicans' gerrymandering fiasco underscores Trump's scorn for democratic norms -- but also as we see tonight (thanks, Virginia!) his incompetence at implementing his undemocratic vision. And in general I prefer authoritarians who are incompetent. Original post

Title X is a superb US program, traditionally bipartisan, to support contraception, cervical cancer screenings etc. But as @JillFilipovic writes in @nytopinion, Trump is now trying to redirect it to address things like erectile dysfunction. Original post

It's very good that the strait is reopened, albeit apparently on a route that goes through Iranian territorial waters. But Trump's reference to the "Strait of Iran" is telling: Because of this war, I fear that the Strait of Hormuz has become the Strait of Iran. Repost of @StateDept: Original post

.@IgnatiusPost raises the risk that a frustrated Russia attacks Europe, say a Baltic country, and Trump fails to back a NATO response. Frightening. Original post

Good grief! Pete Hegseth purports to quote Holy Scripture. Instead, it turns out he's quoting from the "Pulp Fiction" movie. When our leaders mix up God and a movie, in trying to suggest that God is behind them, that suggests the muddle we're all in. Original post

So petty. The Trump administration doesn't like the Pope's comments about war and peace, so first it lectures the Pope on Catholic doctrine, and then it punishes migrant children who get help from a Catholic charity? This is not WWJD. Original post
