There's something so deeply special about how the #ThePitt acknowledges Mel's softness and emphasizes how we need people like her in the world. No one's asking her to change or taking her sensitivity as a weakness, and it's so lovely to see.

Per sources experiencing this, hundreds of contractors have been laid off this past week.
Estimates range from 700 to 1000. So far.
We do not know b/c there has been no public notice. This has been done quickly and in the dark.
This is unprecedented, I am told.

"USAID" signs have been taken down at agency HQ.
Those in and who follow the agency closely believe - rumors widely circulating - the agency may be folded into the State Department.
There are understandable fears that the aim here is to shutter USAID entirely.

US AID has been an independent agency. That may have just changed.
On the web it has now been moved into the State Department.
This is w/out notice from the Trump administration as to how it is operating the agency, nor its legal ability to do this.

If you were impacted by the LA wildfires, please don’t go home without proper PPE.
Make sure you’re wearing an N95. If possible get a P100 with gas cartridge to filter VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
There are innumerable carcinogens in the air, many of which you can’t smell or see.
