Engaged by the lofty, invigorated by the fight. Student of History. Seasoned. Authentic to my own detriment.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.

Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

I started Fritskche’s “Hitler’s First One Hundred Days” last night. Excellent.
Couple of thoughts so far:
Germany was very divided in 32/33. Hitler did not command a majority.
As late as his appt as Chancellor there were those who believed they could control him.
They were wrong of course.
