Absolutely terrible @SecRubio @HouseForeignGOP @SenateForeign The Russians are giving Iran targeting info on Americans, killing Ukrainians who want their own independent country, and you loosen sanctions on Russian oil. Shame on you!

An important summary by my former colleague @JeremyKonyndyk of how Donald Trump, Elon Musk and their henchmen have ruined lives all over the world and put America on the road to being friendless (inc getting booed at the Olympics).

New @McDonalds design has worsened McD's excessive use of plastic. Now if you want to fill your H2O bottle with ice and H2O there is no dispenser - they fill a plastic cup in the back & give it to you. And if you have 2 to fill, you can't reuse the cup, you get a 2nd cup. Boo!

Yet another example of the stupid actions being taken by @elonmusk and @POTUS .... They are cancelling the lease of the USGS office in #Anchorage where experts monitor potential volcanic eruptions that could threaten the city and Pacific flight routes

This is shocking footage from a Republican Town Hall in a deep red district in Texas. Republicans and Democrats from across the country oppose Musk's DOGE power grab and are PISSED. Sound on. 🔊

Cancelling a program that helps prevent the spread of a horrific and contagious disease isn’t an “oops”, it’s a potentially catastrophic mistake.

Elon Musk: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect ... so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention."

If "The United States would also commit to supporting Ukraine’s future economic development," then the Trump Administration will need #USAID @usaidstopwork.bsky.social and the #USDFC to do that! But of course @elonmusk hasn't done his homework to know that

BREAKING: Judge Ali has *granted* the motion to enforce his restraining order against the State/USAID spending freeze. He has ordered the Trump administration to pay "all invoices and letter of credit drawdown requests" for work done prior to Feb. 13 — by 11:59pm tomorrow night.

HAPPENING NOW: A federal judge who ordered the unfreezing of USAID contract spending is voicing frustration as a Trump administration lawyer repeatedly refuses to say whether they have actually taken any steps to implement his 12-day-old order.

@elonmusk @realDonaldTrump Do you want things like this coming to the US? "Unknown disease that can kill within days leaves 53 dead"

Without #USAID and @CDCgov America has no front-line defenses! Reforming USAID is fair game but not getting rid of it!
