Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating. This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens. (Even better: Tesla will hate this)

Programs to address HIV/AIDS are being terminated, even in the face of court orders. There had been talk of waivers for life-saving aid programs, but that was untrue. Thousands will die. I'm feeling the weight this week as I received my own first "Stop Work" order on a federal research contract.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Ben Meiselas: This is a time for fearless coverage. There's so much to report about every single day—what's going on in the White House every single day.. pushing back on that every day and saying it in a way that doesn't mince words. And I think that's what's connecting with our audience.

Rep. Suozzi: 26% of the federal workforce are veterans—26%. What about their service to this country? We encouraged them to apply for these jobs, and now we’re just taking away their livelihoods? It’s not just chaotic, it’s not just cruel—it’s unconstitutional.

"The DOGE chief, who’s been gutting workers at the FAA while nabbing key contracts, appeared surprised that planes don’t always fly in a straight line" There's literally a whole self-help narrative built around the fact that planes don't always fly straight but still get to their destination
