I’ve been putting out questionably large amounts of birdseed outside for the birds (and a lovely, fat pair of raccoons) because caring for things gives me a small measure of peace when the world is on fire.

There are now 955 cases & 60 deaths from an unknown illness in DRC (links below). As this outbreak is growing, CDC is not permitted to exchange information with WHO and USAID outbreak response support is banned. Yesterday the Supreme court “paused” a federal judge order for USAID payments to resume.

Many folks are on Medicaid but don’t know it because their state calls it something else. Hoosiercare in IN. Peach care in GA. Badgercare in WI.
They don’t realize their medical care is on the chopping block. What does your state call it? Let’s get replies going and the word out!

Musk is also leveraging his clout to further embed his own products into federal agencies.
The FAA, for instance, has agreed to use Musk's Starlink system for IT networks that manage our airspace and air traffic control — at a time when flyers are already anxious about airline safety.
