I am simultaneously enraged and grief-stricken. Reading this is like going through the evisceration of USAID all over again. One year+ later, it is still so painful.

[Adam Korzeniewski, White House liaison to USAID] recommended that we use the term “Super TB” instead of “drug- resistant TB” to describe the mutations that can develop when treatment is interrupted, because it might be more likely to “catch their attention.” ~excerpt from the book

Whistleblower says Trump officials thought USAID did 'just abortions,' asked for 'Barney-style' slides before gutting agency, per new book Read an exclusive excerpt from Nicholas Enrich's "Into the Wood Chipper"

One of the most enraging aspects of [waves hands] all this is that the assholes dismantling America's government *do not understand it*. They are stupid, incurious people who've spent their lives marinating in RW agitprop. They have no idea what they are destroying.

I know two Hungarian worlds: egan meaning yes and Magyar meaning Hungary. Put those two together and it’s a defeat for competitive authoritarianism. Bye Orban!

Hungary election live: Polls in Hungary close in tightly fought election after 16 years under Viktor Orbán Prime minister has been trailing in the polls to Péter Magyar in race that could have repercussions for Europe, the US and Russia

I love her music!

I feel like there’s something more not uncovered in this article.

It was a beautiful sky from here in western PA.

$160 b is roughly 4x the budget that USAID had.

I think her book would make excellent kindling for a fire pit or perhaps to use under computer monitor to raise it up. Other than that, just send all of these books to be recycled and use the recycled paper for books worth reading.

This was very difficult to listen to.

In the 70s, quicksand appeared in so many TV programs. People of a certain age, when they were kids, were scared out of their minds of accidentally encountering quick sand while walking. Excellent political cartoon!

And a huge cut to foreign assistance in the form of the evisceration of USAID.

Will she now get an ambassadorship somewhere? The T***p sycophants usually fail up.

Good!

Favorite line: “Are you even a lawyer?” Reminds me of the line from Mean Girls, “Do you even go here?” IYKYK

My daughter loved this. She should watch with you. :)

In a world of Bezoses, be a MacKenzie Scott!

$70M spent on the “documentary” of a certain first lady could really come in handy right now for those people laid off from WaPo.

For elementary school kids, the Netflix series “Who Was?” Features George Washington Carver in one episode. It’s entertaining and informative.

George Washington Carver developed 300 derivative products from peanuts among them cheese, milk, coffee, flour, ink, dyes, plastics, wood stains, soap, linoleum, medicinal oils and cosmetics. #BlackHistoryMonth

This is hilarious!! 🤣 🤣

I cry every time I read or hear those words.

Félicitations au Sénégal!

The FY26 Foreign Aid appropriations bill text is live. This bill provides $50 billion in total funding for the Department of State and other foreign affairs agencies, including the United States Institute for Peace and National Endowment for Democracy. While there are some reductions, overall the bill rejects the steep aid cuts of 2025, and restores the bipartisan consensus on international assistance. This is a very important moment, demonstrating real bipartisan momentum to support lifesaving foreign aid. Congress must pass this legislation into law, bring back USAID to ensure aid funds are programmed effectively, and the executive branch must follow the law. No more pocket rescissions or expiring funds. Advocacy has brought us to this moment, where aid funds are on the brink of restoration: please use this momentum to write congress a letter to PASS this legislation into law. Submit your letter at bit.ly/congressaidletters. This is the moment for action.

If you only can do a few posts per day on Trump (understandably), make sure to include this one.

Let it fill you with hope and strength!

We WILL get through this, together. We will NOT let democracy die at the hands of the ignorant, evil mfer that's currently occupying the White House.
