There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

That. Was impressive.

A Texas lawyer gave some informal advice to undocumented immigrants. He later had unidentified agents from ICE show up at his door.

A tech oddity: His Wifi went down right before the officers' visit and came back soon after, meaning their visit wasn't recorded.

This is the message. You may like Pritzker, you may not, but whomever the new leaders of a reformed democratic party are, they will carry this message. This is the way to win. My two cents.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard @DNIGabbard The weaponization of intelligence to undermine the President’s agenda is an assault on democracy. Those behind this illegal leak of classified intelligence, twisted and manipulated to convey the exact opposite finding, will be held accountable under the full force of the law. Rooting out this politicization of intelligence is exactly what President Trump campaigned on and what Americans overwhelmingly voted for. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence fully supports the assessment that the foreign terrorist organization, Tren De Aragua, is acting with the support of the Maduro Regime, and thus subject to arrest, detention and removal as alien enemies of the United States.

Last week, WaPo reported that 17 of 18 intelligence agencies said that Tren de Aragua had no substantive tie to Venezuela.

This effectively says one of two claims on which Trump based his Alien Enemies Act invocation is false. Now, Tulsi says down is up.

Boost. We love you. Thank you for doing good work under impossible conditions.

Facebook has kicked Alt Smithsonian out for “impersonation.”

I guess the ALT was not enough to differentiate us.

We couldn’t change the name so we’ve restarted a new page called Rights and Reason.

Please follow us again.

We’ll still bring news about the Smith & everything impacting democracy.

Ice director wants to run deportations like ‘Amazon Prime for human beings’ Todd Lyons said he wanted US immigration agency to be ‘like a business’ in its deportation process

I think it's very important to note that when you want to run human misery like a business--a business based on rounding up people to ship them to a country they aren't from to work in forced labor camps--you're a slaver.

This is personal gerrymandering. It's Jim Crow "guess how many jellybeans in the jar" level of corruption.

Call you reps and Senators and Governor. Now. And often.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services.

This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage.

Keep up the fight.

The SAVE Act is voter suppression.

Over 900K Oregon women whose name doesn't match their birth certificate could be ineligible to vote. 45.1% of Oregonians without a passport could have to pay over $236M just to register.

I didn't just vote 'No' – I intro'd a bill that makes it easier to vote.
