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

@pianow.bsky.social no table waiver pod this week?

@pianow.bsky.social @michaelsalfino.bsky.social David Justice and Halle Berry was one you guys missed (although not in the 70s)

@pianow.bsky.social @michaelsalfino.bsky.social What do you guys think about Luther Burden this week now that Odunze is out? I’ve got Wicks on the other side to choose from. I much rather go against the Chicago D but lot of mouths to feed on GB…

@pianow.bsky.social @michaelsalfino.bsky.social really enjoyed this week’s Table. Laughed out loud multiple times. Thanks guys.

@explosiveoutput.bsky.social @scottfish.bsky.social going to miss you guys on FFW. One of the first fantasy pods I ever listened to over 15 years ago. Like losing a friend. Hope to hear you on other stuff soon!

@michaelsalfino.bsky.social @pianow.bsky.social hi guys - doesn’t seem like this week’s Table pod recording was published? Unless my podcast app is the problem…

We still have very little idea what is happening with foreign aid. We have very very imperfect information, the State Department hardly communicates. But last, best estimate is that the Trump regime was on track to spend about half of the foreign aid budget (2025 compared to 2024).

I’m inspired by hundreds of former USAID federal workers still fighting for democracy, development and community action. Trump and DOGE may have snuffed out USAID, and sacrificed hundreds of thousands of former beneficiaries, but the spirit and solidarity of its staff persist.

@michaelsalfino.bsky.social @pianow.bsky.social great pod this week guys!

@wxmets.bsky.social any delay tonight?

Me daily

The rich libs need to give a billion dollars to ProPublica

@michaelsalfino.bsky.social Mike what’d you think of Shohei’s first game back?

@wxmets.bsky.social any issues for tonight’s game? Saw there’s some rain

A few points with regard to Secretary Rubio's testimony about US foreign assistance on the Hill the last couple of days... a thread.

Hello Bluesky! I will start posting my Mets Weather updates from Twitter here as well going forward. #LGM

Rob Manfred: so much to say, so I’ll just say this: I’ll be allocating more of my time to watching the few MLB teams that actually have made it here to Bluesky like: @mets.com @pirates.com @redsox.com @royals.com Being on here says a lot. Not being here says a lot too.

@normeisen.bsky.social it looks like you amended the complaint to include USAID in the MDD case vs DOGE. Is that correct? Hopefully we will finally get a ruling on the unconstitutional dismantling of USAID!

@jolly-olive.bsky.social jolly when are we getting Jomboy posting on here??

@markwarner.bsky.social as your constituent, vote NO on cloture and NO on the CR bill today!

@stevevladeck.bsky.social Steve, any change in your thinking on the USAID case now that SCOTUS didn’t reply on Fri?

@schatz.bsky.social will the senate foreign opps subcmte be having a hearing on USAID? What are the next steps in the Senate to save USAID?

@schatz.bsky.social Brian, congrats on getting picked to lead the State approps subcommittee. I hope you can convince your GOP colleagues to lift the foreign aid freeze and protect USAID ASAP.

@kaine.senate.gov Tim you’re my senator. Why haven’t you spoken out against the foreign assistance freeze? Thousands of your constituents are affected, not to mention the lawful appropriations of Congress.

@pianow.bsky.social you were totally right on the table pod about the horrible patriots drafting. Even the broadcast pointed it out. McConkey would’ve been nice in a pats uniform

@michaelsalfino.bsky.social @pianow.bsky.social long time Table listener and in the playoffs in a few leagues thanks to you guys. Which QB would you start out of the 3: Kyler, Goff, or Baker? Also, Kendre Miller, McMillan, or Deebo in the flex?

@pianow.bsky.social @michaelsalfino.bsky.social loved this week’s WW pod. Great info and the Sirianni comps had me lol’ing
