My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

First craft project of the year ✅ Found this cute vintage folding sewing basket for $1.29 that I reupholstered! It looks simple but was actually a nightmare because the original was likely sewn up and then the wooden parts were slotted through the fabric. Had to hand sew some parts to reassemble it😭

Breaking News: The Biden administration will propose that Medicare and Medicaid cover obesity medications, a change President-elect Trump would need to endorse.
Obesity Drugs Would Be Covered by Medicare and Medicaid Under Biden Proposal
The proposed rule could give millions of Americans access to the new drugs; it would also put pressure on the federal budget.

President-elect Trump has mused more than once that he might like to extend his next stay at the White House. But can he run for re-election again in 2028 and seek a third term? The simple answer: No, the Constitution does not allow it.

Here’s what the law says.
No, Trump Cannot Run for Re-election Again in 2028
The Constitution sets a two-term limit for presidents. Still, Donald J. Trump has repeatedly floated the idea that he might like to stay in the White House beyond his next term.
