What a recommendation! Thank you @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social & @rory-stewart.bsky.social both for recommending the podcast AND backing @the-citizens.bsky.social campaign for an inquiry into Russian interference in UK politics 👊👊👊
Rory Stewart and Alistair Campbell @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social spell out what needs to happen - the same demand we’ve made for years.

While the bird flu gets worse and egg prices skyrocket, Trump’s team fired employees who were working on the bird flu response.
Now, they’re frantically trying to reverse course.
This is the opposite of efficiency.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.
Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

Musk Scandal at USAID Takes Ugly Turn, Putting Starving Kids at Risk
Two U.S. nonprofits that manufacture a treatment sent by USAID to help severely malnourished children abroad say the process is in chaos. This isn’t what Marco Rubio said would happen.

I am in Cairo, where I have been visiting with health organizations, including WHO and other partners of USAID.
Trump and Musk say lifesaving assistance is not affected by the shutdown of USAID and support to WHO.
I can tell you that is 100% false. #SaveAID www.instagram.com/share/_ogGRd...

Trump, Vance, Hegseth, and Combs all said they were briefed on the collision, so they all knew about this internal FAA report when they went on TV to blame minorities for the crash.

It’s all beginning to feel a bit 1984. We’re in a battle against autocrats and oligarchs who are using money and misinformation to dismantle democracies. That’s why we’re looking for 1,984 new monthly supporters to make our biggest and boldest plans a reality (see link in bio)

I've waited a long time to see The Grit Orchestra doing the music of Martyn Bennett but it was worth it.
He was a genius, Grit is a stunning album and the orchestra gave it their all.
Also, bonus Karen Matheson.
