I have been talking (IRL) about the growing empathy gap between the two parties. The conservative people I’ve talked to about this have always found it suspect.

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

That system mentioned here is the Famine Early Warning System. One man decided to take this from us. One man.
“USAID-backed studies have been shuttered, data streams have dried up, researchers and technical staff have been fired or put on leave, a system to predict food crises has been muzzled, and a USAID-supported global health journal has stopped reviewing manuscripts.”

USAID funding for 2025 prioritized countering China by offering strategic infrastructure alternatives to PRC-led initiatives and by strengthening alliances through economic, diplomatic, and security investments. It's not near enough, but it's something.

They’re why dems lost. Each of these moments—the people want to see the dems stand up like they did today in front of the treasury. Dems need to protest in front of every building when trump tries to dismantle an institution. Dems might not win all battles but we need/want to see them try!
