Honestly how are pharma companies not allowed to sue these people into the ground. I'm really asking.

Christianity Today is an influential magazine in Evangelical circles, and it's a noteworthy signpost that they're doing stories like this because it's the kind of story that pops bubbles.

If I was running for Congress, I would promise to appropriate money for USAID, b/c as far as I am concerned it remains an agency as no-one repealed the statute that created it in 1998. It blew my mind at the time that we were like, yep, sure, we will just close an agency without authorization.
The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

This is from the same party that complains that if you provide low-cost healthcare, people will abuse the system to get treatments they don’t even need. Go to the doctor, don’t go to the doctor, either way, the GOP hates that you have health coverage.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Don't talk to the NYT. They've betrayed families' trust before.
They will lie to you and use you and then turn around and tell you it was their job.

That is who I am
Emperor supreme
In an antique land
I was king of kings
Greatest in the world
But all my statues have crumbled (ah ha)
I am posthumously humbled (ah ha)

There once was a king, Ozymand
Who bragged about all he’d command.
Trying to fill his foes with fright he
Said “Look on my works, ye mighty!”
But now it’s all trunkless legs and sand.

I heard there was a statue tall
That sneered at folk and commanded all
But you don't really care for symbols do ya
It goes like this the feet the fist
The head that fell the aim that missed
