"Getting rid of USAID is a very easy way of winning headlines... But if your one accomplishment in government is to rip funds away from the neediest, so that they can die, so they can be unmedicated, so that they can starve, that is a moral stain that I hope will haunt you 'til the day you die."

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

Lawrence O’Donnell: one of the last honest voices in journalism—smart, sharp, and always right about the law. While others were busy sane-washing Trump, Lawrence said it for ages: those tariffs were illegal. The U.S. Court of International Trade proved him right. Again. Truth matters.

Rightfully, the cuts to Medicaid (over 10M people will lose their health care) and the tax cuts for the rich have been the story of the disastrous Republican budget bill.

But I read the whole thing. And there are some hidden rats in there you need to know about.

For <0.1% of the federal budget, Peace Corps volunteers build America's strongest assets: relationships & trust.

DOGE's threat to cut 50-70% of staff betrays bipartisan support and endangers our nat’l security.

Congress must act.

Bone chilling.

A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

F&@king insecure men and the GOP disgusting women who support them!!
MAGA Republicans are fast-tracking the SAVE Act, requiring a passport or birth certificate with a DL or State ID to register. Names on documents must match exactly.

It will block millions of married women who changed their names—and marriage certificates won’t count.

When Musk's minions forced their way into USAID's servers, they made themselves "super administrators" meaning they had access to workers' Social Security numbers, credit histories, and home addresses.

They may have well broken the law.

Elon Musk spent $40 million in Super Bowl ads to attack USAID.

Tell Congress that for pennies on the dollar, foreign aid is a deal we can’t afford to lose.

Call your members of Congress and demand action.

Here’s the number to call:

Please pass it on.

When a kid with ties to Russian and Nazi hackers dumps data from our most sensitive systems, we should demand the New York Times screams about it.

NYT knows how to make computer server security an issue. They did that to get Trump elected in 2016. They choose not to now.
I suppose we're supposed to assume that when guys like BigBalls Coristine (who, according to Wired's reporting, has links to Russian and Nazi hackers) get access to the servers at the Dept of Energy (responsible for our nuclear program) that we should just trust they'll handle that info responsibly.
