Can we all agree never to book Larry Summers on another news show, ever again? Unless the topic is "What Did You Know and When Did You Know It?"

We don’t have to imagine
I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

And for everyone rushing to tell me it can’t happen, yes it can, and indeed, somewhere on this BlueSky is a clip of Bannon explaining President Trump is weak because none of what he is doing is codified. He is right and I am right. I would just appropriate money to USAID and direct OPM to hire.

If I was running for Congress, I would promise to appropriate money for USAID, b/c as far as I am concerned it remains an agency as no-one repealed the statute that created it in 1998. It blew my mind at the time that we were like, yep, sure, we will just close an agency without authorization.
The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
