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.

The MAHA report highlights the need to "understand and reduce the cumulative chemical load on our children" and calls for "new risk evaluation tools" that incorporate AI... explain to me why, then, our grant from the EPA to do pretty much EXACTLY THAT was terminated 2 months after it was awarded.

Sen. Fetterman’s former primary opponent @conorlambpa.bsky.social: β€œYou only ever really hear from [Fetterman] when he's complaining about the media or talking about Israel… I honestly hope that he becomes a better advocate for people in the state, because they deserve better.”

Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment.

Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.

I agree with Hillary and she keeps trying to tell yinz. Republicans are too incompetent to govern. This is just dumb.

They're charging for us to hear from them in Pittsburgh but they keep changing the location. Maybe they can't find one that will tolerate them? Senators/oligarchs who won't speak to their constituents aren't generally welcomed here.

Indivisible Pittsburgh had a rally yesterday to say that Pittsburgh says no to gutting education!

Public schools and universities are a long-term investment. The Cathedral of learning was built in part by the nickels and dimes of the people of Pittsburgh.

We will not let fascism gut education!

I was reading they're sending windfall payments to some social security recipients and are really trying to send this $5,000 a piece to people. They gutted the IRS. Are they just emptying out the US Treasury for Putin to attack us? Or is there something more subtle than that that I'm missing?

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

* Currently paused by Executive Order
** Grant reviews now all canceled

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.

That is a lie.

The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

Your angry Ultra MAGA account has every indication of being an international actor or a bot. Maybe not and you're just in a cult. Why be rude about it? Is rudeness a political culture?
