Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use.
Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t.
Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID!

Let's be VERY clear here.
Trump does *not* have the authority to withhold federal funding from public schools for what they teach. The 2015 Every Student Succeeds Act is very explicitly clear on this. #EduSky

Deeply disturbing comments about children with disabilities. The problems with special education are certainly not with “fake diagnoses.” Ideas like this are a threat to the millions of kids with very real disabilities who already barely get their needs met.
I thought this interview with tech-leader-turned-Trump-backer Marc Andreesen was both fascinating and deeply disturbing. One of his assertions is that voters will support eviscerating special ed funding a la DOGE when they realize what a scam it is. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/17/o...
