This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Just a reminder that Elon Musk's company, SpaceX, was the recipient of $3B of taxpayer money.

We told you it was about whiteness. If it was clear enough before, it’s clear now. Trump paused the refugee program, but when it comes back online, it will focus on resettling white South Africans (Afrikaners) who are “victims of racial discrimination.” (Camilo/CBS) America has gone off the rails.

Palestine is not a symbol. Not a metaphor. Not a trending topic. It is a land with a people who sing, grieve, love, and fight for a future they are told they do not deserve. And yet, they exist. And yet, they resist. And yet, they will win.

USAID provides critical services to people in need all over the world, so it’s not surprising that the world’s richest man, who has never faced a day of adversity in his life, would so callously attempt to eliminate them. Statement for @americansunlight.org.
Jankowicz Statement on Musk’s Hijacking of US Government and Foreign Policy

(Washington, D.C.) - The following is a statement from American Sunlight Project (ASP) CEO Nina Jankowicz on Elon Musk’s attempt to eliminate the US Agency for International Development (USAID):

“The American people are witnessing a hostile takeover of their systems by an unelected oligarch. Elon Musk’s illegal attempt to eliminate the US Agency for International Development will have far-reaching consequences for the peace and security Americans have enjoyed for generations. 

I have been privileged to implement USAID programs and work alongside its employees and partners throughout my career. Far from the “ball of worms” that Musk describes, USAID provides critical services to people in need all over the world—services that pay for themselves in the security and prosperity Americans enjoy. They curb HIV/AIDS and hunger and provide a voice to the voiceless, so it’s not surprising that the world’s richest man, who has never faced a day of adversity in his life, would so callously attempt to eliminate them.

Nor is it surprising that Musk—part of the Trump oligarchy— should deem the critical work USAID does to support democracy and repair the global information environment “corrupt.” There is a reason that Vladimir Putin banned USAID programming from Russia in 2012; its programs supported groups engaged in critical truth-telling missions. Like Putin, Musk and Trump benefit from an all powerful state that trafficks in lies.
Through this illegal power grab, Musk and Trump are putting American lives around the world at risk. Musk has written that USAID is “criminal” and “must die.” In fraught environments—and even here in the States—some may interpret this as a call to arms. 

While Musk and the MAGA wing of the Republican Party have railed against the work of “unelected bureaucrats” in the past, President Trump has anointed Musk - whose businesses take large amounts of government contracts and has extensive relationships with China, Russia, and other American adversaries - to become the most powerful man in the U.S. Government overnight. This will immediately cause deaths, upend our security, and make Americans less prosperous and less safe.

This hostile takeover is only the beginning of what Musk plans for the federal government, and that should scare every American. While programs that may feel far away are on the chopping block today, it might be Medicare, Social Security, or veterans’ benefits tomorrow. I urge Congress to fulfill its duty to act as a check on the Executive Branch and its unelected oligarch ally.”

If you have to pass an EO to force people to teach that America is amazing in schools, then maybe - just maybe - American isn't as great as you'd have us believe.

Why are there so many Palestinian children in Israeli prisons?
Twenty-three child prisoners released but more than 300 minors remain in Israeli custody, many of them without charges.

Trump's comment of hoping that relocation would allow Palestinians to "live in peace" is the exact argument that the US govt used to create reservations for Indigenous ppl - promising them leave and prosperity if they'd just give up their lands.
