Check out the excellent https://ForeignAssistance.gov website describing 15k+ activities in 204 countries (before it disappears).

There is not nearly enough coverage of the destruction of US foreign aid. It isn’t just the suspension of programs. It’s the elimination of all of the organizations and personnel that carry out foreign aid.

This appears a textbook case of unconstitutional impoundment - but that will take months to sort out, not hours.

Guess where that aid will be going instead. Into trump and his family’s pockets. Into the oligarch’s pockets.

What happened to the great and powerful wizard of Oz ending the war in Ukraine on day 1?

It’s not like everyone didn’t know this was coming.
Europe should have stepped up to the plate
to fill in the shortfalls.

Of course the U.S. isn’t going to help. Russia is “denazifying” Ukraine. But clearly all the nazis are in the U.S. at this point.

Here’s a belated Christmas gift for Putin. I can’t believe 49% of Americans voted for this.
