And it's not just goods and services sold to USAID, but all goods and services sold via the Development-Industrial Complex. A thing I learned via various consultancies over the years is how much "foreign aid" is actually spent in the US and/or on American workers and goods.

More people speak English today than any other language in human history. But what do we lose, psychologically and culturally, as a result? For this week's @newyorker.com, I explore how English shapes thought—from our conception of time to how we talk about the senses.

I've seen so many great starter packs, but I've yet to encounter one on int'l organizations and cooperation. So, I made one. It is no doubt incomplete, but I hope you find it helpful nonetheless.

I think this is the biggest fallacy in mainstream reporting—the idea that Trump is super popular. He lost the popular vote 2x. He never had approval ratings over 50% during his presidency. He is the leader of the MAGA movement, but that that doesn’t mean he has mass appeal.

really can't be overstated that a core pillar of MAGAism is to steal your tax dollars and give them to Donald Trump
