Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

Lewis Goodall is right. Musk's power grab is enormous, and so far it's all going his way. Goodall doesn't name NYT, BBC & co but they are normalising it, because it's the US, rather than calling it the coup that it is.

Elon’s “Department of Government Efficiency” just walked into NOAA and Commerce like they owned the place. No legal authority, no transparency—just gutting climate data access while daring anyone to stop them. If you like accurate weather forecasts and ocean protections, buckle up.

You’d have to work hard to produce a front page that entirely avoids telling people that anything untoward took place this weekend in Washington. “All the News That’s Fit To Print”, eh?

State capture. Seizure by non-state actors. This is seismic. Deliberately done over the weekend when Washington is out of the office.

"From a professional negotiation point of view, Trump isn't even bringing checkers to a chess match. He's bringing a quarter that he insists of flipping for heads or tails, while everybody else is studying the chess board to decide whether its better to open with Najdorf or Grünfeld"

An astonishing amount, it seems. A photographer friend just tried this with a city street scene and was shaken by the amount of detail and inference. www.wired.com/story/websit...

Once big tech has scraped all literary content its AI sausage machines will spew out vast quantities of cheap highly processed written matter for the unwary/undiscriminating consumer, making it ever harder to find whatever it is you don't yet know you're looking for.
