Fact Check: Trump DID start this war.

The Pentagon confirmed there was no evidence Iran was going to attack the U.S.

No imminent threat. No exit plan or strategy.

Just more lies from this regime as they cost the lives of service members and innocent civilians.

To be entirely clear: every "AI" company should have bright red ethical lines against things like genocide and weapons systems and surveillance and consent violations and shepherding an encroaching fascism, and those lines should be placed way earlier than anthropic and openAI's seem to be.

At least 52 deaths have been reported after Cyclone Gezani's landfall in #Madagascar which affected more than 470,000 people.

Combined with the impact of Cyclone Fytia, the needs are high. The UN and its partners are responding with life-saving aid. ➑️ https://bit.ly/4kQyNOj

The Trump Administration Is Ending Aid That It Says Saves Lives The State Department will let lifesaving projects expire because β€œthere is no strong nexus between the humanitarian response and U.S. national interests,” according to an internal email.

Quietly, the Trump administration is now ending even the life-saving aid that they had promised would be preserved

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

'Our children are next' fear Kenyans as drought wipes out livestock In drought-hit northeastern Kenya, villagers have been forced to drag their dead livestock to distant fields for burning to keep the stench of death and scavenging hyenas away from their homes.

Severe drought means children are dangerously malnourished in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia - but Western governments have cut food aid supplies.

One year on from dismantling of USAID, study projects that global aid cuts could lead to 9.4 million deaths by 2030 | CNN It’s been one year since the Trump administration dismantled the US Agency for International Development (USAID), with aid cuts leading to the closure of HIV clinics in South Africa, the termination o...

As a direct result of the obscene actions of Russell Vought and Elon Musk in destroying USAID, we can expect β€œat least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues.

About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5.”

ProPublica Event: Inside the Destruction of the U.S. Agency for International Development Join ProPublica journalists for a conversation about the dismantling of U.S. foreign aid worldwide.

In Kenya, American funds had helped feed hundreds of thousands of refugees. When it was cut, children starved.

In South Sudan, U.S. aid had been helping to stave off a cholera epidemic. Then the disease came roaring back.

Tomorrow at 4 pm ET, join us for a discussion about the gutting of USAID:
