Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now.
He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway.

This is a really good explainer about the mortality estimates around USAID.
One big point is that dismantling USAID also dismantled one of the main sources of mortality data in some of these regions.
Early indicators of mortality are very worrying.2,479 1,195Jul 12, 2026 -

Once you understand that this is a model of science written by non-scientists who hate universities but love venture capital and redirecting money to political allies, everything makes a lot more sense.

"You don’t pressure witnesses to a shooting to self-deport if your goal is to get to the bottom of what happened."

It is undeniably funny that Chris Rufo - whose whole career is based on the idea that identity politics is so bad that its fine to ruin people's lives over it - is unhappy that Mamdani is not adequately appreciative of his identity

The point is that members of Congress have de facto unlimited paid sick leave, even when members of the public are asking why they aren't turning up for work.
Its a benefit that he, and other Republicans like Tom Kean, oppose for the rest of us.1,550 498Jul 11, 2026 -

New from me: The Chief Design Officer of the United States, Trump's pick to rebrand the US government, just boosted the John Birch Society twice in recent days.
He did so to claim immigrants are driving up housing prices. He is also a founder of AirBNB. 🧵

A lot of govts have limited this guys company in order to ensure affordable housing, but he has a different explanation for housing shortages, one courtesy of an organization too racist even for William F. Buckley. And he also in charge of digital branding for the US government under Trump.
