Many are pointing out that authoritarians and US rivals will celebrate this attempt to kill VOA. That may be true. But all I've ever wanted to do is shoot straight and tell the truth, no matter what government I was covering. If that's a threat to anyone, so be it.

It seems I've also been placed on leave, just like the rest of my VOA colleagues.

Truth is, I can't know for sure, because when I woke up this morning in Seoul, I'd already been locked out of all VOA-related systems and accounts.
My colleagues and our broadcasts, devoted to telling America’s story to the world — honestly, fairly and with an unwavering commitment to the truth​, are being silenced this weekend. open.substack.com/pub/newsguy/...

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Trump added $7 trillion to the deficit in his first term.

Let’s go back to the tax rates of the 1950’s when balancing the budget was more than a campaign promise and we managed to feed the military industrial complex without going in the red.

In a world that feels like it’s shaking, finding balance requires deep stillness.

Yoga teaches me that true strength and steadiness come not from force, but from presence.

In the simplicity of practice, distractions fade, leaving space for clarity and centered awareness in a turbulent world.

They did a mass firing of staff at the National Nuclear Safety Administration. These are the people who handle the safety of our nuclear stockpile. This is so catastrophically bad.
