Before USAID was gutted, transport contracts sent U.S. search-and-rescue crews abroad within 24 hours for major disasters like Myanmar's earthquake. The once-effective system lies in ruins as DOGE cut disaster crews, dog search teams, and heavy equipment needed for rescue operations.

This happened today in a U.S. courtroom on the Alien Enemies Act: Judge "Boasberg asked hypothetically whether the president could declare Chinese fishing vessels were 'invading' the U.S. — and then proceed to detain and deport all the Chinese fishermen. [DOJ's] Ensign affirmed that he could."

Porter: I think what we should be asking Elon Musk and pressing him on is: what makes this change efficient? Imagine a clinical trial that is near completion, only to unravel and lose all that progress—just because Elon Musk decides to pull the plug. That’s not efficient. It’s just destructive.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

What’s to stop the Trump regime from arresting American citizens who support any cause the regime doesn’t like? Where, may I ask, are the “First Amendment absolutists” these days? Where are all the Republicans who for years have accused liberals of “cancelling” their views?

Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days. That is beyond unacceptable.
