U.S. funding halted Africa’s HIV crisis in the small African country of Eswatini. But the Trump administration’s abrupt withdrawal of U.S. foreign aid has exposed a devastating downside of American hand-holding.

This. 1000x this.

1/2 @kateriga.bsky.social boils down today’s SCOTUS args, where the conservative justices looked poised to use Trump’s blatantly unconstitutional birthright citizenship EO to do something they’ve long wanted to do anyway: limit nationwide injunctions talkingpointsmemo.com/news/birthri...

Carter's passing marks the end of America's golden age. Decency, integrity, morality, dedication, humanity, and compassion are being replaced by the vulgarity, ignorance, corruption, deceit, selfishness, and disdain for rules embodied by Trump. The beacon has gone dark, and an era is fading away.

President Donald Trump says peace talks between Russia and Ukraine won’t progress until he and Russian President Vladimir Putin are in attendance.

Confusion swirled around high-stakes peace talks called for by Russian President Putin, as the Kremlin says that Putin himself would be skipping the negotiations with Ukraine.

"What I would say is that my opinions about vaccines are irrelevant ... I don’t think people should be taking advice, medical advice from me," Kennedy said at a House budget hearing. This admission is concerning given HHS’s role in providing health recommendations to the public.

NEW: Up until last November, Kash Patel was a paid consultant for Qatar. But he and the FBI still refuse to say what he did for this Arab monarchy or how much he was paid. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

What’s the ultimate goal behind Trump's tariff chaos? What will happen over the next 90 days? Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-tariff-hoax

Here’s the truth: - Drug prices won’t be cut because his EO is not legal. He tried the same basic thing in 2020. It didn’t work. - Gasoline prices are NOT down since he took office. - Groceries are up since he took office. - All other costs are definitely NOT down since. Ed Krassenstein.

BREAKING: CORRUPTION IN PLAIN SITE! President Trump is reportedly accepting a gift (a bribe?) of a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar that he will use as the new Air Force One. THIS IS BRIBERY IN PLAIN SITE! Corruption never stops with Trump. Ed Krassenstein

Hey MAGA, Trump doesn’t care if you kid plays with a hazardous toy.

President Trump’s special envoy did not employ his own interpreter during three meetings with Russian President Putin, opting instead to rely on translators from the Kremlin, a U.S official and two Western officials tell NBC News.

Andrew Cuomo, who leads in the mayoral polls, has a Trumpian belief in his own spurious talents and triumphs. His election would likewise be a disaster for everyone subject to his rule.

Empty shelves because Tariffs are great. I make the best deals.
