Meet Evan Anzoo, a five-year-old boy in South Sudan who died when Elon Musk shut down USAID and the boy lost access to his HIV meds. Musk says no one has died because of the aid shutdown, but that's because he didn't look. RIP, Evan, you deserved better. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I'm old enough to remember when Americans weren't terrified of flying airplanes due to preventable collisions. That was 2024 when Trump wasn't President and Musk wasn't running the show.

U.S. Attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers. You didn’t pledge an oath to a President, you pledged it to the constitution. This statement alone is reason enough to resign.

Well, considering the blue collar worker's job is likely tied to global stability and trade then they should.
Michael Rulli: "These insane projects they have helping other countries -- it's America first. When Trump says 'America first,' that's all we have to worry about. We have to worry about the blue collar worker... the blue collar worker doesn't care what's happening in Europe or the rest of the world"

Has anyone done a count of how many Trump’s appointees have been credibly accused of assaulting women? Apart from Trump himself, I mean.
