USAID, founded in 1961 as the primary U.S. foreign aid agency, is now under threat of being dismantled by President Trump. Signs outside the USAID building have been removed, the agency’s website went offline, and its X account disappeared.

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

I’m so glad my two WW2 veteran grandfathers aren’t alive to see this horse shit world we live in. RIP

China appears set to become the world's first clean tech hegemon, their global influence & domestic economy secured through a network of minerals, batteries, EVs, solar, wind & nuclear production & exports. Meanwhile, the US under Trump tries to hang on to its role as 20th century petro-hegemon. 🔌💡

Trump is now attacking Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde who admonished him to recognize the dignity of all people. Here is a portion of the admonition from Tuesday’s National Prayer Service that Trump took issue with.

Trump can’t stand a message that is essentially “love thy neighbor.”

I've programmed my computer to auto-replace "Trump" with "convicted felon Donald Trump" when I type because I don't have the guts to call him "the rapist Donald Trump."
