Trump paused US Foreign Aid. These are the types of programs affected:

➡️ Food to children and lactating women in Haiti
➡️ Clean water to tens of thousands of people in Colombia
➡️ Protection from violence to women in Yemen.
➡️ Clinics treating severely malnourished children in Yemen

Rep Tom Suozzi: “Very simple. Putin is a dictator. Zelenskyy is not.” What’s so hard to understand about that?

We are just about at the point where a court orders the government do something & the government refuses to do it, which is practically what this amounts to. Either the courts find an effective mechanism to force compliance, or Trump steamrolls right over them.
HAPPENING NOW: A federal judge who ordered the unfreezing of USAID contract spending is voicing frustration as a Trump administration lawyer repeatedly refuses to say whether they have actually taken any steps to implement his 12-day-old order.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

Kash Patel, Trump's pick to head the FBI, revealed that he previously worked for the Embassy of Qatar.

He never registered as a foreign agent.

This is a serious national security concern.

The Senate Judiciary committee must call him back for further questioning.

Looks like Kash Patel lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee when he tried to distance himself from the J6 Prison Choir he promoted—a group of January 6 rioters that included violent offenders. GOP senators are backing as FBI chief a guy who hailed cop-beaters.

This is so wrong. Resist
This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Irony is dead in this moment along with common sense. Trump who squawked “but her emails” incessantly, let Musk (unelected/not a govt employee) send his crew of kids in to review classified information & plug devices of unknown origin into the government computer system, compromising everything.

Understand that Trump was certain to lose this lawsuit; that Trump directly threatened Mark Zuckerberg at Mar-a-Lago to the effect that he would never be allowed into Trumpworld unless he paid him; and that the result was this $25 million gift to Trump that in any other era would be called a bribe.

I am heartbroken by the tragedy in D.C. tonight.

There is little meaningful that any of us can do online to honor those who died, but calling attention to the fact that Trump is now trying to make aviation less safe at a time we are having lots of mid-air collisions and near misses is not nothing.

The committee will technically continue to exist, but it won't have any members to carry out the work of examining safety issues at airlines and airports.

Trump fired the heads of TSA, the Coast Guard and key aviation safety advisors. Trump needs to be held accountable for the DC airplane/helicopter crash.

Donald Trump is the most unpopular president at the start of his term in modern American political history.

Don't let anyone talk to you about a mandate.

Don't let anyone talk to you about there being support for his agenda.

Don't let anyone tell you that anything about this presidency is normal.
