The sheer volume of self-inflicted harm the US is perpetrating on itself right now is staggering. If USAID was still around, I’d suggest they help out this floundering country.

Cutting back on aid isnt new, but putting the worlds largest aid program in a “wood chipper” (as Musk gleefully Xed) without warning reflects a deep cruelty, and a traffic ignorance about what makes Americans safe. Shame

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Trump’s forcing America’s name on the Gulf of Mexico. So why does it feel like its size on the world stage shrank so much in the last week?

A profoundly ignorant own-goal for the US, but in keeping with the Trump brand. I sure hope bleach works on bird-flu

Meta on their switch from third-party fact checking to X-style Community notes.
“We’ve seen this approach work on X – where they empower their community to decide when posts are potentially misleading and need more context.”
