US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more.
- US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID
- $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes.
- Food stranded in Houston
- Aid stopped in transit.
The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.

He disbanded an aviation safety committee... he's got an OMB director who's pushing a hiring freeze & saying 'I want to traumatize the federal workforce'"... he's got an anti-safety agenda..that's why he went the race-baiting route"

A gut punch…
Two of the three crew members on the Black Hawk have been named, but the third crew member’s family asked to keep her identity private—you would too, right? Because being a woman in the military is enough to make her a target for the right’s DEI outrage.
Respect to ALL who serve.

When faced with fascism in the 1930s, Germans did not rise to the occasion. We must not make the same mistake!

While Elon Musk’s companies pay zero in federal taxes
Immigrants usually pay about $59 billion per year-plus another $37 billion in state and local taxes
Yet the US government subsidizes Musk
While hunting down, imprisoning and-ultimately-deporting immigrants
It’s not only cruel
It’s senseless

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

From @thebulwark.bsky.social Well, as if we needed a reminder that things can always get dumber, it turns out that the program to offer FAA careers to people with disabilities—the program Trump specifically decried yesterday—was a Trump administration initiative from 2019.

As bodies were being pulled from the water, he cast blame, he blamed black & brown people for the crash.
Disgusting. Racist. Monstrous.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.
He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.
It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.
