Here’s last night’s story about USAID, why the Trump Administration has gutted it, who is being impacted, and how many nice things John can say about George W. Bush. It’s more than zero! By a very narrow margin, it is more than zero. youtu.be/tU8S13xYJNM

Spotted in Nashville this week…

Last 14 months of Biden's term: +1.74m jobs First 14 months of Trump's term: 150,000 jobs (total! for the whole 14 months!) www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors. My report:

Under Trump, the USA doesn't have money to fix our crumbling roads and bridges. We don't have money for child care or schools. The VA has eliminated over 10,000 health care positions due to lack of funding. But $1 billion a day for Trump's war of choice is no problem.

Delay = death. Trump/Rubio/Vought are sitting on a billion dollars that's meant for treatment and prevention of HIV internationally. Congress (controlled by Republicans) appropriated the funds and rejected rescissions. www.washingtonblade.com/2026/03/05/1...

NEW from ProPublica: A trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees, including former lobbyists, industry executives and at least a dozen officials who declined to identify former clients. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

The US Agency for Global Media, which is run by Kari Lake, has just failed an audit. The organization's finances are too chaotic even to assess. www.stateoig.gov/report/aud-f...

"Hanging over Monday's meeting was what Iranian state media says was an airstrike that hit a girls' school in southern Iran, killing at least 165 people." Also her complicity in the trafficking of children #EpsteinFiles

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

No article can convey how powerful it was to meet and work with young people in ways that gave them hope. And gave us hope too, as we put the possibility of a peaceful future for all of us in their hands. www.devex.com/news/usaid-m...

Rally for USAID. Feb 27 noon ET. Join AFSA AFGE Our USAID Community USAID Alumni OneAID and allies at the 14th Street entrance of the Ronald Reagan Building. Wear USAID gear bring signs stand together and fight to restore the agency. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Second senior official to resign this month. I feel so badly for everyone at CDC, including people I have deployed with and others I have had the great fortune to know and respect.

The DoD now has more money than it knows what to do with. Imagine if we spent that money on healthcare or housing instead. "A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.” -MLK

Quietly, the Trump administration is now ending even the life-saving aid that they had promised would be preserved Reporting from @hana-kiros.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/health/2026/...

They're doing this again? They did this during the felon's first administration when they separated kids from their parents after coming over the border. Thread

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

😕🇺🇸

Must be nice to live in a functioning democracy governed by the rule of law...

Well this is creative. "Soon after Trump’s tariffs were announced last fall Brandon Lutnick – no doubt in a totally, totally arms length way – started buying up the rights to tariff refunds at about 25% of their sticker value."

Totally illegal.

Does this guy get a seat on the "Board of Peace" now? www.propublica.org/article/trum...

This is what we've been saying since DOGE first attacked #USAID. The only thing that's new here is they're announcing the heist in public.

This happened because ordinary South Koreans organized and mobilized. We can do this too. #resist #NoKings

There is really a lot of trauma in our community this month. It's been a full year and people are reliving not only the destruction but the memory of the hope that someone, surely, would step in to stop the worst of it. Don't turn away from our stories. #USAID

We will be co-sponsoring the upcoming event to discuss Enrich’s “Into the Wood Chipper: A Whistleblower's Account of How the Trump Administration Shredded USAID”! 📅 4/15/2026 at 7:00pm 📍 Politics and Prose at 5015 Connecticut Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20008 🔗 politics-prose.com/nicolas-enri...

🇺🇸 One year after being told resistance was futile, we are still here. What began in fear has become collective power. We learned that public service is refusal, memory, and care held in common. Give yourself permission to believe this can be won. We are not leaving.

Ethnic cleansing is very expensive And also evil But still very expensive

Security detail provided by the US Marshals Service for budget chief and Project 2025 architect Russell Vought is being paid for by the $15M left in funding for the now gutted USAID. Cuts in USAID will contribute to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, with 2/3 of them being children.
