I like reading Noah Smith, but sometimes people write things that just make me question everything I've ever believed in about them.

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB
Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.
He's a eugenicist.

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True.
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

I think a lot about failures of imagination. 5 days in I’d say we’re close to worst-case scenario.

What a disgrace
Exclusive: Trump administration canceling flights for nearly 1,660 Afghan refugees, say U.S official, advocate
Nearly 1,660 Afghans cleared by the U.S. government to resettle in the U.S., including family members of active duty U.S. military personnel, are having their flights canceled under President Donald Trump's order suspending U.S. refugee programs, a U.S. official and a leading refugee resettlement advocate said on Monday.

Agree with Sarah. The failure to file criminal complaints sooner is more responsible for the failure to bring the cases to trial before the election than any delay created by SCOTUS (and I strongly disagree with the SCOTUS immunity ruling).
I’m deleting the post about Merrick Garland and Jan 6 committee because I don’t have all day to fight w people for whom defending Garland is their whole bag. And it’s technically more complicated than I made it sound in my post. But I stand by my belief that Garland should have moved sooner.
