One of the best things I learned how to do is acknowledge & accept incompatibility. Sometimes somebody not right for you. Sometimes you not right for them. Nobody has to be the villain. It's 8.2 billion people on this rock. If you lookin for 1, that means 8,206,239,945 won't be your match. Thats ok.

How corporate interests have co-opted right wing talking points to disinfranchise and exploit the working class for profit, keeping them ignorant and distracted with culture and identity politics that don't actually impact the prosperity of the American people.

Can the President Dissolve USAID by Executive Order?
Congress established USAID in statute, and the president may not unilaterally override a statute by executive order.
