Really good article with links to resources tracking the actual impact of cuts to foreign aid and scientific research.
How many kills does DOGE have? How many scientific breakthroughs have been stifled by President Trump's administration?
Some trackers worth tracking.

It’s important to remember what actually happened. No amount of sanewashing can change the facts.
Donald Trump can’t change history, we know what we saw on this day four years ago. It was domestic terrorism and treason, plain and simple. No number of pardons or lies will change that.

This story is incredible. Excellent reporting.
THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.

It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

“To be clear, there have been instances where sketches have been rejected or revisions requested, but never because of the point of view inherent in the cartoon’s commentary. That’s a game changer…and dangerous for a free press.”
