The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation.

Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

I'm not worried: Once ICE rounds up all the illegals, they'll stop.

Update: ABC says this is the first time #DWTS has shown three weeks of consecutive growth at the start of a new season since 2005-- i.e., when the show launched in American in June 2005. This would be the *first* time this has happened at the start of a regular Sept-May Nielsen season.

TVMoJoe @tvmojoe.bsky.social · 5d

DANCING WITH THE STARS is on 🔥, Nielsen-wise

The show has now added viewers every week since launching its new season on Sept. 16, per Nielsen L+Big Data ratings

Tuesday's ep brought in 5.82M same-day viewers--more than any episode since 2020, save last year's finale

Demos bigger than SURVIVOR

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

A DWTS fan accused me of making fun of Christians because I made a joke about the rapture, and I wanted to tell them that if I made fun of someone who bet 10 grand on the White Sox to win the World Series you couldn’t really say that I was making fun of baseball fans
