The USAID Memorial Wall is a wall of plaques with the names of humanitarian workers killed in the line of duty in the lobby of USAID. Musk's doge goons defaced it and tried to tear it down as part of their effort to destroy USAID. Shawn Siochain isn't going to forget. @altusaid.bsky.social

The ability to manipulate the core data in federal systems is so much more dangerous than the traditional methods of censorship, political pressure, or simply lying about what the data say. To say nothing of cutting off payments.

Holy Shit. They're burning through people pretty fast now. After Sassoon refused/resigned, the next two people - heads of Public Integrity Section (DC) and the Criminal Division also refused/resigned. This all JUST happened. And these are all 'actings', so they're people the Trump crew chose.

Despite this being extremely stupid and self defeating, it is also not required under any EO. And, while they still exist, this also violates the agency scientific integrity guidelines.

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law." Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Last year, Vance told the (probably apocryphal) story about Andrew Jackson saying “John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!” on a podcast — and framed it as an aspirational tale. It’s worth noting that the end result Vance found so inspiring was the Trail of Tears.
