Billionaire presidential adviser Elon Musk called entitlement spending — benefits including Social Security and Medicare — key targets for cuts, an assertion that directly contradicts President Donald Trump’s pledge to not touch those programs.

Tuberculosis, the deadliest infectious disease on the planet, kills more than 1.25M people a year. New infections are expected to surge by 30% as a result of closing USAID, a memo says. The increase will inevitably lead to cases in the U.S.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex condemned ICE’s detainment of Mahmoud Khalil, calling it a “tyrannical” move. “If the federal government can disappear a legal US permanent resident without reason or warrant, then they can disappear US citizens too."

A reminder: USAID helped bring about the end of apartheid in South Africa.

USAID is 1% of the overall budget. If we no longer give foreign aid to other countries, China will happily step in the gap and thus usurp American international influence.

If Joe Biden was senile he wouldn’t be speaking this well. Other than appointing Garland he is one of the best Presidents.

The “murder hornet” has been eradicated in the U.S. five years after it was found in Washington State, officials say. A massive mobilization has eliminated the invasive species from that hot spot and the nation, at least for now. nyti.ms/3By69PS

Omg 🤯 is that the one about the house producing meals, doing laundry, performing housework for a family long dead in a future long without humans?? Thank you! ☺️ I’d forgotten it, amazing. Must go find and read!

Reminds me of that episode of Black Mirror where an AI-powered Amazon factory keeps cranking out and shipping products in a distant future where no one wants them… in fact they’re trying to scratch out crops from damaged soil…

I canceled all of that November 6. In fact I don’t even do NPR news shows any more… I need something new to listen to while preparing dinner! Podcast recommendations eagerly welcomed!

All of that will be dismantled, quickly. Perhaps as part of that “one terribly violent day” or whatever he promised.

I keep waiting to stop feeling homesick for hope. Every day I miss what might have been. Sometimes I think I need to get up and get going, but then I think—why bother, if this is what the majority really wants?

I remember going to the marches during Trump’s first term, carrying a sign that said THIS IS NOT NORMAL. Now, I have no idea what normal is. What is it? Does it even exist?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@aoc.bsky.social) reposted
Was there today for the H.R. 9495 vote (bill that would have allowed labeling nonprofits as terrorist supporting organizations). Voted no, of course - but I do want to report that the activism DID work and persuaded members. I thought it’d be a lonely NO vote, which we take often. It wasn’t.
