Please keep reporting on this, especially the health supplies stuck in transit or “stranded in warehouses around the world” that could lead to e.g. a global MPox pandemic spreading from Congo where vaccines are urgently needed: https://www.npr.org/2025/02/12/nx-s1-5292356/mpox-outbreak-in-africa-at-critical-moment-as-u-s-halts-aid-rebel-violence-erupts

i'd call them Pond Scum, but that's giving Pond Scum a bad rep

Rubio, like all Rump acolytes, is a liar.

50% of America does not care, guess who they are?

It's not a surprise unless you fail to realize that 100% of this administration is a lie.

The humanitarian suffering Musk and The Orange Man have caused will only grow and grow. It's terrible. THEY'RE TERRIBLE. 😡

So for any who still have ?'s, yes, they are defying court orders, and yes there is zero enforcement of court orders. They're saying to the courts "Make me."
In effect, unless we come up wth something, courts are not gonna be much help.

Rubio owns so many deaths, right along with Trump and Musk.

Then Rubio should be arrested for contempt

Again: there is ZERO reason Americans should be paying federal taxes on April 15 this year. We are paying federal taxes for NOTHING. Everything is being shut down or frozen by Elon

Why would anyone want to create a global catastrophe just to prove you're a bully? The world already knows F47 is a bully and laughs at his weakness but suffers tremendously. Soullessness is a sickness from a lack of love. Being an asshole prevents love, someone tell them please.

VA-01 residents, please contact Rob Wittman about USAID:

You expected this administration to do things like listen to court rulings?

You seriously expected them to listen to court rulings?

Please tell me we’re not still at “the courts will save us.” Because THEY ARE NOT.
