The impact counter was planned for one year from the time USAID was cut. At its closing one year later this was the tally of deaths from USAID cuts. The deaths continue to rise with estimates as high as 14 to 18 million by 2030.

This month is the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act and it reminds me that the ADA could not be passed today. It probably couldn’t get a vote in committee today.

Brian Krassenstein This photograph today deserves a Pulitzer Prize. A black girl sits in the middle of dozens of white supremacist patriot front members in Washington DC on the Fourth of July. This is so representative of the country. We’re living in under Donald Trump right now.

It seems somewhat bad that the richest man in the world can use his money to bankrupt individuals or organizations -- including officials who are tasked with holding him accountable -- that accurately point out that his actions plausibly facilitated the deaths of millions.

The extent of Trump's destruction of Washington, D.C., is truly stunning. It's the ultimate metaphor. The algae-infested Reflecting Pool. The destroyed grass from the UFC event. The bulldozed East Wing grounds. "86 47" etched into the lawn near the Reflecting Pool. REUTERS/Aaron Schwartz

The State Department Really Doesn’t Want to Talk About the Office of Remigration
The office was created a year ago and seemingly named for a far right European plan to expel minorities and immigrants from Western nations. It now works, a source says, with little to no oversight.

Donald Trump has spent his entire term trying to gut federal funds for SNAP, public schools and utilities relief. Yet he has no problem using your tax dollars to create a slush fund intended to pay out his political allies and insurrectionists who stormed the Capital. I'm angry. You should be too.

Today Trump "negotiated" with his private criminal defense lawyer—a man he made AG for this corrupt purpose—the theft of $1.8B in taxpayer money so that it could be given to far-right terrorists in open rebellion against America. It's the most corrupt act by a POTUS in history.

I don’t think it was staged. I think the regime was way too eager to use it to try to spin their narrative, long before they even had enough information to make any of their claims. I think that makes people even more skeptical. I think it bothers them though, that people are calling it a hoax.
