Columbia University has handed over its undergraduate admissions process to Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, who will now decide at their sole discretion whether the university has admitted enough white people. It's no longer an independent institution.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard politicized intelligence to fake a case against Obama and his aides. Now AG Pam Bondi is going to investigate. When an autocrat uses his intelligence services and law enforcement to concoct a sham prosecution and a show trial, that's a dangerous moment.

The Trump administration has chosen to burn almost $10 million worth of contraceptives rather than send them to poor nations. Sources say they rejected offers from the United Nations and aid groups to help distribute the supplies, which include contraceptive implants, pills and intrauterine devices.

Craft breweries offer more than local beer. They provide a “third place” for community members and are oftentimes helmed by the very neighbor who handcrafted those brews.

Just last week someone told me Trump would never shut down USAID because it buys so much US grain and I said, "I wonder if he knows that"
If only experts existed who could warn Americans repeatedly that foreign aid is money spent to pay Americans and buy things from Americans but no one's ever said it out loud so who can blame people for not understanding
U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans purchased as food aid.
