Fifty years ago, ABBA donated all proceeds from the song “Chiquitita” to UNICEF. The song is still making money, and that money is now being spent exclusively in Guatemala where it’s funding health workers who work in rural areas with children on sexual health issues.

Fox’s chief national security correspondent fact-checks Trump as he again tells the lie about “turning on the water” in California The water release alarmed local farmers and had no way of getting to SoCal. A total fabrication. There is no bottom.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Elon Musk wants USAID shut down because USAID was instrumental in rebuilding post-Apartheid South Africa. He and Trump are willing to sacrifice quite literally millions of lives in the cause of a white supremacist vendetta. Please say it out loud.

The Federal Aviation Administration’s leader stepped down on Jan. 20, months after Elon Musk demanded that he quit. The move by Michael Whitaker means the FAA has no Senate-confirmed leader for one of the biggest crises in its history because he quit before Donald Trump took office.
