Our new ImpeachTrumpNow.com billboard is LIVE in Queens, New York, humiliating former Jamaica Estates resident Donald Trump in his home borough.

He is illegally purging our civil service, impounding funds appropriated by Congress, and corrupting our justice system. IMPEACH NOW!

Why Dean Karlan, chief economist of USAID, resigned on Tuesday He was hired in 2022 so the aid agency could get 'more bang for our buck' with its projects. He tried to reach out to help in the rebuilding of the agency. On Tuesday he tendered his resignation.

I photographed Dean Karlan, the former chief economist at USAID for NPR, earlier this week.
