I calculate percentages and sometimes make them add up to 100%. Or not. Rounding is hard.

In a way Trump and Mamdani are similar. They are both populists fighting against the elite, it's just who they see as "the elite" differs.
Mamdani sees the elite as the billionaires who control the economic, political, and social systems of society.
Trump sees the elite as people who read books.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Elon Musk: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect ... so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention."

We live really close to the airport, and it's weird that there's no airport noise tonight - but I guess firing government employees who keep us safe is one of the new administration's top priorities.
