D.C. is giving itself a hazardous dose of toxins tonight

> largest fireworks in U.S. history
> dropping 9 metric tons of toxic chemicals on city
> air quality 2-8x higher than "hazardous"
> toxins 17-57x higher than acceptable levels
> chemicals settling into ground, water, food

Ave person will inhale:
> 81 ug Strontium: deposits in lung tissue
> 81 ug Barium: potent gastrointestinal, cardiac toxicant
> 27 ug Aluminum oxides: pulmonary inflammation
> 27 ug Titanium oxides: pulmonary inflammation
> 27 ug Copper: oxidative stress respiratory
> 27 ug Antimony, trace compounds: known carcinogen

It will be an acute exposure. Also, idk, is there another way to celebrate our 250th?

Healthcare? Best we can do is 50 flyovers in Washington DC

[Samantha Power @SamanthaJPower]

Starting in early 2025, Elon Musk and the Trump administration began terminating USAID's programs and firing its staff — with Musk himself boasting about "feeding it into the woodchipper." One year ago today, USAID was officially dissolved, its remaining programs haphazardly folded into the State Department. Amid all the lies and misinformation that have followed, some facts about what has actually been lost:

• USAID saved more than 3 million lives a year at a cost of less than $10/month per American. That is what was destroyed. On purpose.
• According to Boston University's Global Impact Counter — which tracked deaths attributable to the cuts until it stopped operations in February 2026 — an estimated 781,000 people died preventable deaths in the first year, including 518,000 children.
• Global child mortality (the number of children who die before their fifth birthday) rose in 2025 for the first time in 35+ years — by 200,000 additional deaths.
• USAID's 50-country disease surveillance network — the system that cut outbreak response times from 2 weeks to 48 hours — is gone. We are now watching an unprecedented Ebola outbreak unfold in real time — with the highest first-month caseload and death rate in modern history.
• Programs reaching 93 million women and children were cut 92%. TB programs cut 56%. Water and sanitation cut 86%. Over 2,000 health facilities permanently closed.
• 25 million fewer people received humanitarian assistance in 2025. The overall humanitarian budget was slashed 74% — from $14.1 billion to $3.7 billion.
• 363 million people face acute hunger in 2026. The famine early-warning system that would have seen it coming went dark for five months.
• $1.7 billion in democracy and governance funding (election monitoring, anti-corruption work, support for independent media and civil society) was terminated.
• 360+ independent media outlets lost funding. Hundreds of legal clinics closed.
• Far from saving money, the Trump administration itself has already said the dismantlement will cost taxpayers at least $19.2 billion in cancellation fees, severance, and penalties. That's more than half of USAID's annual budget — spent on destruction and closeout, not support for vulnerable people.
• American farmers, universities, and businesses are among the casualties too. USAID partnered with more than 3,500 U.S. companies and maintained 17 university-based research labs. Its work with U.S.-based contractors and the private sector generated hundreds of thousands of American jobs and multiplied the return on every dollar spent. Those markets and partnerships are gone.

Trump threatened to have me hanged over a 90-second video I made. I'm a sitting United States Senator and spent decades serving this country, and it didn't matter. Keeping your head down will not keep you safe. Staying quiet will not keep you safe.

@jonfavs It doesn’t say that he did. What it does is show him praising her work on the auto rescue task force, that saved 200,000 jobs when MI was hemorrhaging them. If Mallory or Abdul had similar footage, they’d be running it 24/7 as well. Neither of them lived in MI then either!

[Emily Todebush Arwa @emilyformi]

@TheSmutList @PatrickSvitek @HaleyforMI It doesn’t say that he did. What it does is show him praising her work on the auto rescue task force, which saved hundreds of thousands of jobs at a time when Michigan was hemorrhaging them. If Mallory or Abdul had similar footage, they’d be running it 24/7

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

Quite the deal maker, eh?

[David Shuster @DavidShuster]

According to Al Jazeera, the Iran deals includes unfreezing billions in Iranian funds, lifting U.S. blockade, pulling U.S. forces away, reopening strait of Hormuz though with tolls to Iran, and allowing Iran to keep its enriched uranium. This would be a total U.S. surrender.
