The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

Prop 50 passes with 63%

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

There are more of us than there are of them.

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

Wait, did they edit an interview? Did they not air every second?

I heard that’s grounds for a multimillion lawsuit

While the Trump administration gives $40 billion to bail out Argentina, they are unlawfully suspending SNAP benefits for millions of hungry families and kids across America.

It is shameful.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Majority of U.S. Adults Misinformed About Cost of Eating a Plant-Based Diet More than 60% of U.S. adults incorrectly think that eating a plant-based diet is more expensive than eating a diet with meat and dairy, according to a new Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine...

P.S. It's not just me, by the way. This has been confirmed in many studies.

There is No Peace in Gaza Since President Trump announced his plan for a ceasefire, people I know have continued to be killed. One described torture during a year in Israeli custody.

The day after Donald Trump announced his plan for a ceasefire, Israel struck more homes in Gaza City, reportedly killing dozens, including a three-month-old baby. In a new essay, @mosababutoha.bsky.social shares what’s happening to people he knows in Gaza.

a live look this morning at the demolished East Wing of the White House

The White House East Wing has been completely demolished. The demolition is basically at the main White House walls.

It’s like YO-la-bo-ka-flowth.

I don’t believe you.

“Won’t interfere with the current building…”

Monday's photo from the Washington Post

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

“It won’t interfere with the existing building…” -🍊🤡

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

Opinion: Why I'm handing in my Pentagon press pass Tom Bowman has held his Pentagon press pass for 28 years. He says the Pentagon's new media policy makes it impossible to be a journalist, which means finding out what's really going on behind the scenes and not accepting wholesale what any government or administration says.
