Andrew Natsios, who ran USAID under President George W. Bush and is a lifelong conservative Republican, calls such moves “illegal” and “outrageous.” What Musk and Rubio are doing “is criminal. They can’t abolish the aid program without a vote of Congress.” www.politico.com/news/magazin...

I am rooting, God help me, for the Eagles, because it will piss off Trump more. Also because I have good friends who are big fans. But if you could beat the Chiefs, say, 30-21, or 19-12, it would soften the blow of rooting for you. Thanks! #eagles #chiefs #superbowllix

We need to change the language we're using to describe this administration and use it everywhere. Moving NTSB announcements exclusively to X and replacing news orgs with pro-Trump "news" orgs in the Pentagon is "moving towards a a state media, similar to Nazi Germany and Cold War Soviet Union."

Are you trying to call your senators and reps but you can’t get a human and the mailboxes are full? I used faxzero.com today to send a letter. Max 3 pages, 5 times/day. They require name/email/phone. You have to click on a link in an email to send, but randomness in other fields might work?
