NEW: Trump says he's letting "lifesaving" foreign aid continue, but sources tell WIRED that DOGE is still blocking HIV/AIDS relief.

Musk brags he's "feeding USAID into the wood chipper."

A USAID worker tell us: “At a minimum, 300 babies that wouldn’t have had HIV now do."

Elon Musk's DOGE Is Still Blocking HIV/AIDS Relief Exempted From Foreign Aid Cuts
The Trump Administration claims it is allowing "lifesaving" foreign aid to continue, but in reality, DOGE is preventing vital work on HIV and AIDS from saving lives.

The right has convinced the public that immigration & immigrants are bad.

It is telling that not a single solitary Dem pol or strategist even bothers proposing *convincing them otherwise*.

It's all, "how do we fudge our rhetoric to accommodate the opinion landscape the right gave us."

"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie."

My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie - and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:
Donald Trump didn’t win by a historic landslide. It’s time to nip that lie in the bud | Mehdi Hasan
In 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide. That’s false

If any parent in this country saw a rapist say he was going after their kid with the power of the justice department, that parent would pardon their kid. Full stop.

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

The Hunter Biden story is a perfect encapsulation of what’s wrong with American media:

Is it a story? Sure.

But every newspaper in America devoting front page headlines to Hunter fucking Biden while Trump appoints a cabal of rapists, racists and con-men to positions of enormous power is MADNESS.

I pray the pardon of Hunter Biden, which was the right thing to do, will be followed in short order by the commutation of the death sentences of every person on federal death row, and that Leonard Peltier will at long last be released.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential.

Riddle me this, did any of you vote for Elon? Why does this guy get a say in any of our affairs. I'm so sick of this guy can't we just deport him back to South Africa. Let's get this package done for Ukraine so they can keep fighting for their precious Democracy.

Otherwise smart people: Trump won’t carry through with his tariff threats. He lies about everything

That thinking is why the media refused to cover him fairly, and contributed to his election victory

Experts say Biden's diplomacy is what secured Mexico's cooperation. As one tells me:

“If Trump wants Mexico to crack down on unauthorized migration, then Biden has already gotten Mexico to do that to a greater extent than ever before without tariffs.” 4/

It's funny that Sheinbaum would cite US statistics to make the case that border apprehensions have dropped due in part to Mexico's enforcement, because Trump pretends none of this is happening at all.

The chart below illustrates what Trump won't tell you. 3/

Democrats had a great message on Project 2025. It was so deeply unpopular that Trump had to deny any connection.

Now that Trump has said he plans to hire key figures from Project 2025 for his administration, Democrats need to sound the alarm. It will still be unpopular.
