I continue to find it amazing that we went from a late 90s/aughts run of pretty amazing WW2 hagiography and barely a generation later people are publicly retconning f'ing Nazis

It is within Donald Trump's rights to fire everyone on the Federal Reserve Board and replace them with his friends. But if a future Democratic president tries to remove Trump's friends from the Board, that will be strictly unconstitutional.

NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food.

This is horrible. Trump and his crew shut down USAID, which has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, and they had no idea what they were doing or what would be the consequences. Completely immoral.
