Tens of thousands relied on 300+ USAID-funded soup kitchens to stay alive in besieged Khartoum. Cuts to USAID means they've been shuttered, and now children are dying each day, as civil war intensifies Grim stats: 600k in famine; 8+ million "on the cliff." USAID staff reduced from 10,000 to 15

An innocent man was “mistakenly” taken and sent to a foreign prison. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 he must be brought home — yet he’s still there. Every day this administration shows just how vile and lawless it remains. Bring him home!

Any traders with inside information that Trump was going to walk back his tariffs — some of them, presumably, Trump family members and cronies — just made a fortune. It all feels like chaos until you look more closely at who is winning.

pro tip: if your government claims to have no money for children's heathcare but will eagerly waste millions on a gaudy military parade to stroke the fragile ego of a broken-inside president, you just might live in a shithole country

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

The tariff policy changes every ten minutes. What a joke. It’s nuclear grade incompetence that would be laughable except they’re ruining people’s lives for sport. Just shameful.

Everyone is acting like the sell off of US Treasuries is a surprise. What was going to be the response to blowing up alliances, threatening invasions and destroying all trade relationships? I guess the surprise is that the enablers haven’t caved to reality.

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?

This new White House executive order says that the US Attorney General is going to prevent states from implementing democratically passed laws regarding climate change and clean energy. It scarcely needs stating at this point that this is wildly, unambiguously unconstitutional. Dictator shit.

If Oct. 7 had never happened, Trump would right now be pulling funding from Columbia and Harvard because of DEI policies or admissions requirements or what research they were doing or all of the above. The right hates universities and that’s it.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

This was the fundamental folly of Senate Democrats refusing to block Trump's spending bill because the plan was to wait for the courts to save us. I don't need John Roberts or Bret Kavanaugh to tell me what my Constitution says. I know what it says. We need some politicians who will fight for it.
