The more things change...

USAID terminates nearly all its remaining 900 employees "Virtually no one will be spared, not even political appointees," according to two senior USAID officials, as the remnants of USAID are folded into State

hissing at a cybertruck

I think about this meme a lot.

democratic collapse, etc

The stay of the injunction preventing AID’s dismantling expired at 5pm yesterday. This is an express violation of the court’s order

🚨 ALL #USAID personnel worldwide just received a global blanket RIF notice. 1/🧵

When this presidency ends—and it will end—we need a Rooseveltian plan to not only undo the damage he did, but build bigger than we’ve ever built before. Big universal programs and mandates. Pack the SCOTUS. Kill Buckley v. Valeo and Citizens United v. FEC. New anti-trust laws aimed at Amazon. Etc.

I keep watching this clip with something approaching yearning and I’m realizing it’s because we don’t hear this level of strategic realism—that the old world is gone and the old rules don’t apply—from anyone in leadership in the Democratic Party.

weird racist freaks

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Using the Blockchain to Reform USAID is a dark joke I would have made to other humanitarian technology specialists in 2017 www.thestreet.com/crypto/polic...

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.

What do people think the Democratic Party is going to look like once the median staffer is a college graduate who saw one of their peers snatched up by the crypto-gestapo for opposing the mass murder of children in Palestine

The World Food Programme says it has just five days left of flour and two weeks left of other food supplies in Gaza.

Dua Lipa announces ‘Physical’ featuring Troye Sivan will be released at Midnight.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Breaking: Top Trump officials’ private data and passwords have surfaced online, including Pete Hegseth, Mike Waltz, and Tulsi Gabbard. This data could potentially be used by America’s enemies to hack into the unsecured Signal chat where they discussed war plans.

Botox Barbie visits concentration camp

SCOOP: Court filings show that from the earliest days of the second Trump administration, Elon Musk's DOGE had a plan to infiltrate US Treasury payment systems—and turn them against USAID.

This keeps happening

I don't care what side of the Israel-Palestine conflict your sympathies lie on, snatching up people with a valid student visa for the crime of writing an OpEd is naked fascism and if you don't oppose this you are a threat to this country's most basic values

INBOX: Bert Ellis has been removed from the UVA Board of Visitors.

The founder of Signal releases a response to SignalGate: “There are so many great reasons to be on Signal. Now including the opportunity for the vice president of the United States of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations.”

“The loss of U.S. support may mean 75 million children do not receive routine vaccinations in the next five years, with more than 1.2 million children dying as a result.” 1.2 million children dying. Abhorrent. Evil. Indefensible.

Another disgusting part of all of this is the proof a blatant war crime to which the Vice President of the United States responded: Excellent.

“We are currently clean on OPSEC” accidentally sent to a journalist is an all time classic.

The Atlantic: "There is a clear public interest in disclosing the sort of information that Trump advisers included in nonsecure communications channels, especially because senior administration figures are attempting to downplay the significance of the messages that were shared."

BREAKING from The Atlantic: Editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg has released the Signal war plans text thread: Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump's Advisers Shared on Signal. tinyurl.com/f4f6mnb8

A SEVENTEEN-POINT SWING IN AMISH COUNTRY

Julia Louis Dreyfus: “So they just ADD him on the chat?…no…too stupid. Rewrite it.”

GET HIS ASS!!!

i’m losing it

Elon Musk would now be in charge of the databases determining voter eligibility.

Trump just signed an executive order banning vote by mail and ordering the defunding of any state that does not follow through with it as well as engage in massive voter roll purges. There won't be free and fair elections ever again. If you're waiting for 2026, it's already too late.

Schumer 21 points behind Elon?? L O L

A lot of media are rightly pointing out that this administration can't keep America safe but I think it would be better to point out that they also have no interest in doing that. It's not just ineptitude, it's 'who gives a fuck' because our lives are just as meaningless to them as anyone overseas.

The acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration admits he retaliated against the entire population of Maine—mostly newborn babies and their parents—because he thought the state’s governor had been rude to Trump in a White House meeting. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/u...

Fired? Chelsea Manning was sentenced to THIRTY FIVE YEARS in prison

Text STOP to stop receiving classified military operations.

insane time for uva to be asking me for money

this is great and gets to what might be the defining attribute of this administration which is that trump himself is barely aware of what is happening

Members of the general public tracked these flights on public websites. At bottom, there’s no actual secret at stake; it is solely a contest of wills between the branches, conducted entirely in bad faith by the executive.

BREAKING: After a federal judge issued an injunction ending the refugee resettlement funding freeze, Rubio just started terminating all of the contracts. Judge Jamal Whitehead issues a follow-on injunction tonight ordering the terminated agreements reinstated unless Rubio actually follows the law.

Our statement on the Trump administration making war plans via group chat.

Zero harm and ample upside in Democrats calling for impeachments and a special prosecutor. The VP, the Secretaries of State, Defense, and Treasury, the DNI, and the NSC were all involved in the grossly negligent disclosure of specifics on combat operations.
