Have we learned nothing? The fact that a judge ordered an agency to do something doesn't mean they will do it (see e.g. USAID payments). Don't say they have been reinstated until they actually receive reactivated contracts and pay.

Exactly. USAID activities are implemented by NGOs, contractors, research institutions... For every USAID job lost there are many more lost down the line.

This applies to federal employees only. Thousands of personal service contractors and employees of contractors and ngos have lost their jobs or are furloughed without pay.

Well played

Fatally injured = killed, no? Why the euphemism?

Murdering people is bad, on its face and for its societal consequences. Just as 9/11 was used as pretext to curtail civil liberties, so this CEO assassination will be used as pretext to further control and constrain access in (formerly) public places to protect the uber-rich from everybody else.

Re all these comments saying Charlie is shocked people disagree with him... Surely the problem isn't people disagreeing, it's them doing so in an aggressive, insulting, attacking manner. That's what we fled X to avoid, no?

Dude has been fighting Trump for years. He's allowed to take a break for a day or two to address other concerns.

Those aren't starts they're cities on the moon
