The Admin is proposing spending $9.6 billion on international affairs for FY26. To put in context, this is less than Americans spend each yr on:
* Their pets
* Superbowl parties
* Halloween Supplies
* Hair care

This feels like a good time to remind all of the folks lamenting the birthright citizenship decision by the Supreme Court but also cheering USA Soccer that Folarin Balogun is playing for the US as a US citizen because his parents visited NYC while his mom was pregnant

@THR Who edited this article? It alternates between calling Jackson's character Andrew and Michael. It's cringe that no one proofread this thing...

@emptywheel He was not 12. He was 3. And as a minor, he was automatically naturalized when his parents were.

@7NewsDC What a dumb poll. Benefits will be cut if nothing is done because the system is unsustainable - this isn't a choice, it's an inevitability. Can either reform and protect for future generations or fall off the cliff.

Grateful for all @WFPChief McCain has done to call attention to the global hunger crisis and push the U.S. and other donors to respond.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

With a heavy heart, I announced my intention today to step down as @WFP's Executive Director. Leading this incredible organization and our dedicated teams has been the honor of a lifetime.

I remain deeply committed to advocating for the millions struggling with hunger worldwide.

[Lisa Bos @BosLisa]

Because why look at more effective and life-saving tools and innovations? That would be silly.

The midterms need to hold the Senate accountable for voting for these idiots.

The FDA declined to review Moderna’s application for the first mRNA-based flu vaccine, a decision that shocked the company and that comes as the agency plans to tighten federal vaccine approvals.

Gary Bettman is going to be pretty shocked to learn China can eliminate cancel the Stanley Cup.

The destruction of a @SavetheChildren office and health centre in Jonglei has cut off essential services for families fleeing violence.

Aid workers and facilities must be protected. All parties must respect international humanitarian law and allow safe, unimpeded access – now.

@RapidResponse47 @POTUS @kaitlancollins Or behaves like a petulant child....sad that this is something you'd brag about

[John Kasich @JohnKasich]

If you're feeling frustrated, angry or powerless - Do this: Respectfully but firmly tell your representative, I sent you to Washington to represent me, uphold the American dream, law and order, and our rights.

Don’t roll your eyes. Try it. The power is in your hands!

Welcoming the bipartisan FY26 foreign assistance bill — an important step toward rebuilding momentum after a year of disruptions. But it’s still not enough to meet the scale of today’s global challenges. Read InterAction’s full statement here: https://t.co/f9R7f6DGoj

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

There are a lot of folks who get pretty righteous about the Constitution when Democrats are in charge. Many seem to go into hibernation mode when Trump is involved. Others seem to think that “national security” is code for “the Constitution lets the president do whatever he wants.” You know, like:

• Commit numerous acts of war, from outright hostilities to blockades and embargoes without authorization from Congress

• seize another country’s oil fields for the purpose of creating a presidential slush fund

• threaten an ally with military force in order to seize new territory

• acquire new sovereign U.S. territory without Congressional approval

• abrogate treaty obligations without any consultation with the senate

• Ignore the law

• compel corporations to partially nationalize themselves

• levy tariffs at presidential whim and commit the (wildly exaggerated) proceeds of these taxes to whatever he wants

• Deploy military troops on US soil for transparently pre-textual emergencies over the objections of the governors and state’s rights

• Use the pardon power for personal aggrandizement and in furtherance of corrupt schemes

• Threaten censorship and the revocation of broadcast license entirely based on viewpoint discrimination

• Repurpose Congressionally approved spending for novel and unauthorized purposes

• Treat the emoluments clause like toilet paper

Now, some of these things need to be adjudicated or can be debated. What can’t be denied, however, is that Trump talks about doing all of these things, and worse, routinely. And it is not just “talk” because he uses threats of constitutional abuse to get what he wants short of actually doing it. And many of the folks who are fastidious about even the vaguest rhetorical violation of the Constitution by Democratic presidents, roll their eyes, laugh, yawn, or cheer Trump in this regard.

Just because you’re surrounded by people doing the same thing, doesn’t mean other people aren’t noticing or that it won’t be remembered.
