A PBS News tweet explains how two laid-off USAID employees created a website to match donors with canceled programs, keeping nearly 80 projects running in 30 countries. Below the text is an image of two peopleโ€”Caitlin Tulloch and Rob Rosenbaumโ€”appearing in a split-screen video interview, each seated in their respective rooms.

Isnโ€™t that the definition of poverty โ€” the lack of financial resources to live properly.

An investor called $140,000 the new poverty line. Experts disagreed but said he had a point. Michael Greenโ€™s tally of the costs of raising a family in the U.S. today is going viral, even if some economists scoff at his math.

Maybe another way to think of it is as the "participation line" - the income one needs to fully participate in expected aspects of US life without worrying about plunging into deprivation one way or another

I bet Trump would bite if Zelenskyy offered to build Trump an enormous statue Kiev in honor of him if the US would help really end the invasion annexation.

Heโ€™ll be gone before the statue can be erected.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Zelensky: The crux of the entire diplomatic situation is that it was Russia, and only Russia, that started this war, and it is Russia, and only Russia, that has been refusing to end it throughout the full-scale invasion.

If Todd Blanche went as the White House lawyer - not sure Trump has any legal right to the confidentiality of Blancheโ€™s interview with Maxwell.

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

I think itโ€™s important that we donโ€™t limit the danger to just Trump. The entire administration and GOP that enables him are just as dangerous, if not more so.
