The rural health transformation fund is quintessential Susan Collins. She wants credit for an inadequate fix to a problem she helped to create. And then that inadequate fix becomes even worse because of the Trump officials she voted for #mepolitics

Shocker. The Trump admin’s story doesn’t match reality. not even close. Trump on Mesabi Metallics’ proposed $15 BILLION steel plant in Lee County, Iowa: “They’ve already started building.” REALITY: No permits, disclosed site, or major land purchase. Financial incentives still unresolved.

What @gtconway.bsky.social is describing in this thread is the process of formation of a pathocracy. A pathocracy is a form of government where power is seized and held by a minority of people with severe personality disorders, particularly psychopathy, narcissism, sadism, and Machiavellianism.

Things may have changed in the intervening months, but here’s a VZ oil data point: Did a congressional briefing in January on VZ, war powers, oil, etc. One of the other briefers (an expert on VZ oil sector) said it would take 10 years and $100 billion to get VZ back to peak production.

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”

This is a really good explainer about the mortality estimates around USAID. One big point is that dismantling USAID also dismantled one of the main sources of mortality data in some of these regions. Early indicators of mortality are very worrying.
I met with, first of all, a woman named Angelina David, who is the clinical manager in Panyijiar for the International Rescue Committee clinics. She was overseeing the clinics that were shut down and could tell me exactly what happened. It was a complete shutdown, and a scramble, because there were medicines and other things on the shelves they didn’t want looted, so they had to get out to these places—and they’re very far away. You have to travel, in some cases, seven or eight hours in order to get to the extent of what’s there.

I then went and visited some of those facilities, and I connected, with her help, to the subcounty chiefs—they’re called the payam administrators—who keep their own records of deaths. So one of the things I found was that their own records showed that they are measuring an over-all tenfold increase in child and adult deaths.

Wait. A tenfold increase?

Yes.
