Just a quick reminder, if Russia ceased firing there would be a cease fire

Incompetence Leavened With Malignity The Trump administration’s Ukraine policy is liable to end in disaster.

"The administration seems to have a notion of the conduct of foreign affairs as being a set of deals, chiefly with America’s enemies, while administering kicks to allies. As a vision it is, in some reasonable sense of the word, evil. It is also appallingly dumb."

Us feds know they are coming for all of us. We don’t know exactly how it will unfold, but based on the experiences of our USAID colleagues, we know it won’t be dignified.

Just a guess that he resigned bc he wanted @wired.com to stop looking. Sure there is more there than a couple racist posts…

A chart shows the increasing views that a viral, false claim about USAID saw on X, as it was amplified by right-wing influencers. A headline reads: Falsehoods Fuel the Right-Wing Crusade Against USAID. A sentence reads: Nearly 15,000 posts on X over two days mentioned USAID and Politico, with many users falsely claiming that the humanitarian organization paid the news website millions of dollars. Note: Data includes posts on X between Feb. 5 at 9 a.m. Eastern Time and Feb. 6 at 10 p.m. that mention both “Politico” and “USAID.” Source: Tweet Binder by Audiense.

As the Trump administration and Elon Musk work to dismantle USAID, the government’s lead agency for delivering humanitarian aid for generations, right-wing influencers have flooded the internet with falsehoods about its work, promoting unfounded claims and conspiratorial thinking. nyti.ms/4htWHN0

The US Government Is Not a Startup Elon Musk is moving fast and breaking things that can’t afford to be broken.

Confirming what @marisakabas.bsky.social had earlier today: The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received an order this week from DOJ, its primary funder: remove references to trans people in its public materials, in accordance to Trump's anti-trans EO. NCMEC is complying.

Can wired read up on the Merit Systems Protection Board - someone needs to be watching that closely and reporting out.

Us feds know they are coming for all of us. We don’t know exactly how it will unfold, but based on the experiences of our USAID colleagues, we know it won’t be dignified.

People at the State Department report that the Federal Women's Program is "pausing activity," and coordinators have been told, via email, to cancel all events.

Of note, this is not an employee voluntary association -- the program is codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (29 CFR 1614.102).

We want to take a moment to express how proud we are of you, America. You have stood up and spoken out every step of the way—especially when Congress and the media remained silent. When we called for help, you answered.

"They don't know, these people who are trying to destroy USAID, how essential the investments in the economies overseas have been to U.S. companies' ability to find markets." - Former USAID administrator Samantha Power in her interview last night with Rachel
