Both sides of my family have farmed rice in Louisiana since the late 1800’s.

I have sent this far and wide so all of the family understands everyone is affected by any threat to USAID funding. Trump doesn’t care about the farmers, just taking all aid money.

For anyone who suddenly claims concern about the national debt -- and claims Trump and Musk are doing something about it:

REMINDER #4

4. Don’t grade on a curve

Do not hold Republicans to a lower standard and do not hold Democrats to a higher one. When a Republican does something normal, recognize it is normal not exceptional. When a Democrat does something normal, recognize it is normal and not terrible.

Anyone know what happens to the thousands, ten of thousands of US citizens employed by USAID abroad? Are they still getting paid? Do they come home? Who pays for them to move back to the US? Are they now persona non grata in their host countries?
Anyone notice how our new “working class” President is treating the workers who work for him?

We need to be calling all of our electeds, at all levels of government and insist they fight Trump/Musk's savage attack on US govt, the reckless tariffs, his unacceptable nominees. This has become a national fight, a true all hands on deck moment...👇

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
