The US has led the way in fighting malnutrition for years, and USAID provided a miracle peanut paste that brings kids back from the brink -- until now. Starvation is a problem that we can actually solve, but we're now retreating from the fight. Here's what I found in West Africa:

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument. Gift link: wapo.st/4l7a1ch

This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.

Wow. Read this sentence: —> Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s new group of vaccine panel appointees “fails to include experts on any diseases that vaccines prevent. Or experts on vaccines themselves. Or experts on infectious-disease epidemiology. Or experts on clinical trials,”

Saying there are “too many non-working holidays” on Juneteenth is so on brand for a man who is actively trying to erase Black history. This from the same man who’s wasted over $26 million in taxpayer dollars and spent more than 30 days golfing since January 20, 2025? Please.

Can DHS verify this “500% increase in assaults” claim? I’ve seen reports that there’s been a decline or no evidence of a sharp increase.

Extraordinary and so contrary to the values of our nation. Washington Post this morning quoted an Australian visitor to DC by his first name only because he was afraid of expressing his opinion as visitor to US. Article was about a statue on the Mall critical of Trump.

Misunderstood sleeper issue in OBBB cld mean the end of #SNAP as a national food assistance program available in all states. The cost-shift drafting means a state that can’t pay its share of benefits loses ALL fed $; a state that can only pay ½ has to cut enrollment by about ½.

This cost-shift is a disaster. And no one should be sanguine that all states will come up with the $. #SNAP could disappear in some states or become nearly impossible to access in others. How in the world is this making us great?

Trump’s supposed political strength on immigration is proving to be a weakness, and his bumbling deployments in L.A. are further sinking his popularity. trib.al/5Alyig1
