Shocking story! Not for me, though, because I heard @suelinwong.bsky.social tell it almost two weeks ago on one of The Economist's podcasts (which this piece fails to mention) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/m...

Great reporting from Zack! I'm curious if other democracies like France, Germany, and the UK will see what's happening in the US and take steps to shore up their own democratic systems.

I suspect USAID is first because it's "foreign aid" and fewer Americans will object. But once the precedent is established, expect unilateral dismantling of domestic institutions too

PEPFAR has so many fans because it is incredibly successful. I think if people want to save USAID there needs to be a focus on everything good that has come out of it. Right now when the electorate hears "foreign aid" they think of soccer stadiums built in a Haiti that has no clean water.

Congestion pricing isn't a "cash grab," but instead of yelling, "No, it's not!" Dems/congestion pricing supporters should come out for much-needed MTA reform. Labor costs, environmental reviews, and a disjointed system have been rife with fraud and abuse and need fixing.

Beyond this, I've talked to many philanthropy/NGO leaders who are pausing all outreach and communications for fear of the Admin's ire. These decisions are fully shutting down life-saving work and will have huge impacts down the line. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/u...

Lagarde also said during this panel that the EU should recruit "disillusioned talent from across the Atlantic." But with the White House captured by the tech mafia, I can't imagine tech workers wanting to go continental.

As much as I dislike X, especially for the algorithm, my use of it is limited by the lack of journos and other media types here. They all love X/Twitter too much

I love when people say they “can’t quit” a social media app because they gain more than they lose. Because what are you gaining? All Instagram, TikTok etc gives me are nudes and crippling body dysmorphia
