I've started to depend on your analysis on a daily basis. It's vanishingly rare to get nuanced understanding of disability, LGBT, religious, and specific race/ethnicity policy impacts in a single place, and I value that so much.
On again off again HIV medications often leads to viruses that become resistant to antivirals. Resistance to viruses then creates more expensive treatments and a potential increase in transmission of the virus, including resistant viruses. A dangerous public health concern. USAID, through PEPFAR (a GW Bush program that became highly successful, 26 million live were saved and 7.8 million babies were born without HIV infection, 2023 data) provided these antivirals in low to middle income countries (www.state.doc/results-and-impact-pepfar). During the current administration PEPFAR support has been disrupted multiple times (www.off.org/global-health-policy/the -outlook-for-PEPFAR-in-2025-and-beyond). During just one year of PEPFAR disruptions January 24, 2025 to January 24, 2026), estimated deaths associated with these funding freezes occurred in 159,272 adults and 16,954 children (PEPFAR.impactcounter.com)

The Epstein class of monied and criminal, pedophile, psychopaths who currently find themselves in positions of authority over the rest of us by hook and by crook think we the people are merely a surrogate to be occasionally invoked when attempting to grasp more profit, more power, more everything for theirs and for themselves. But. They. Will. Find. Out. Differently!
When a President Gets Addicted to Regime Change: Venezuela gave Trump a taste of success. Trump is far different than Eisenhower. Eisenhower — methodical cautious five-star general who understood the moral cost of force — never found a way to stop.
Newspapers need some sort of income, as obviously does this site, but there is surely a better way. Ted Nelson, who invented the concept of hypertext (as in HTTP) in the early 70's, thought we could use a system of "micropayments"; but corporations always want "maximize profits".

Everywhere we look we find hate and cruelty. Its astounding!
Really. Excellent.

There is little reason to believe Trump will fare better. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/magazine/iran-trump-regime-change-history-eisenhower.html
Dammit! A paywalled article.
To be clear, I'm not criticizing you. I just wanted to read the piece. The monetization of information is frustrating!
