Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”

There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

From a guy who used to work there: Rachel is a remarkable person and the best TV news talent there is. If she says something is fucked up, it is. Getting rid of Joy, who dared to see through this fascism bullshit years ago and had the gall of occasionally being funny about it, is dumb.
Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

There's no hierarchy in Jesus' words. None. Love God, love your neighbor as yourself.

Also, there's the earliest Christians, like Paul: "There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus."

NO HIERARCHY.

Since Monday, Trump has: Halted civil rights investigations, suspended public health advisories, frozen infrastructure spending, rescinded an executive order prohibiting discrimination by federal contractors and another one aimed at lowering drug prices.

How does this help working people?

Remember that Trump promised to be a dictator on day one?

It may be the first and only promise he's ever kept in his entire life.

Egg prices hit record highs this week.

Much of the increase is the result of egg shortages brought on by avian flu.

How has Trump responded? By ordering public health agencies to cease communications with the public.

His presidency is a threat to our health and our wallets.

“I’ve been on the bench for four decades. I can’t remember another case where the question presented was as clear as this one is. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order. Where were the lawyers when this decision was being made?”

PS: The judge blocking Trump's order? Appointed by Ronald Reagan.

You’ve certainly seen the controversy and cruelty over the last three minutes of this sermon.

But watch the entire thing. It is less than 15 minutes. You'll be inspired and strengthened for theological and spiritual resistance.

President Trump moved quickly on Monday to withdraw the U.S. from the World Health Organization, a move that public health experts say will undermine the nation’s standing as a global health leader and make it harder to fight the next pandemic. nyti.ms/4hilymo

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive.

Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Trump wants to cut the corporate tax rate to 15%. This would give...

-The 5 largest banks a $4.1B tax cut
-The 5 largest drug makers a $3.1B tax cut
-The 5 largest US oil companies a $2.5B tax cut
-The 5 largest grocery stores a $1.7B tax cut

Some populist, huh?
