Under the Trump administration, the U.S. agency that funds aid projects has faced layoffs, a stop action order for most aid efforts and a disruption of its website. Now Elon Musk says it should 'die.'
Why does Musk want USAID 'to die'? And why did its website disappear?

The Trump Administration’s action to suspend all federal grants & loans will have a devastating impact on the health and well-being of millions of children, seniors on fixed incomes, and the most vulnerable people in our country.

It is a dangerous move towards authoritarianism.

President Trump: You do not stand for law and order when you give a free pass to rioters who attacked the police.

In fact, you are signaling that violence is okay and attacking law enforcement is acceptable behavior.

Odd that big British and French and Irish and Israeli news organizations have already posted stories on this, but not yet the @nytimes.com or @washingtonpost.com.

We are the legacy of 15 billion years of cosmic evolution.

We have a choice: We can enhance life and come to know the universe that made us, or we can squander our 15 billion-year heritage in meaningless self-destruction.
