Horrific: One of the USAID programs Trump just terminated was set to deliver lifesaving treatment to hundreds of thousands of starving kids abroad. Much of it is now sitting in a Georgia warehouse.
Rubio's promise to preserve urgent assistance was a lie.

This is one of hundreds of terminated USAID contracts. The full list is appalling: There's tons of the "lifesaving humanitarian assistance" that Rubio promised to protect.
Former USAID official Atul Gawande tells me we'll see a "a massive loss of life overall."

Important to be super clear: this is not just "we decided not to help other people any more" which would be bad enough. this is "we're cutting off support that was promised, paid for, organized, staffed; we're throwing away all that work and money because the cruelty is the point"
There's no longer any way to pretend any of this is about "efficiency" or "good management." It's actually horrible management! The admin had also claimed these programs are being "reviewed." What we're seeing now lays waste to that story, too.

At this point I think it's a fair heuristic to simply assume that MAGA dudes are pedophiles, until they can demonstrate otherwise.

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

Smith is not making the claim a jury would have convicted. He is restating the standard prosecutors must meet before they can indict, that he believed there was sufficient evidence to obtain & sustain a conviction. The decision is left up to the jury. Justice is done when they have that opportunity.
