"After the Trump administration upended the world’s largest foreign aid provider last year...

Congress said no. Lawmakers... have oversight of... USAID... They also insisted on regular, detailed reports about how the administration was spending the money.

Now, eight months into the fiscal year, Trump officials are failing to follow many of those orders... And when lawmakers have asked about their actions, officials often have not responded."

This week, even as Sun remained behind bars, another judge from the same court declared the former multimillionaire bankrupt, paving the way for a trustee to oversee her ...

@_elena @cercle @palaisdetokyo @LeMuseum @imacrea Mastodon is doing everything to prevent me from doing what I want: expand a given post in a new tab:

1)CTRL-click wrongly overwrites current tab instead of opening a new one
2)CTRL-click on"Expand this post"in the"…"menu of the post wrongly overwrites current tab instead of opening a new one
3)When I try to work it around by duplicating the tab, the duplication takes ages and functions wrong - the position on the page is wrong, which causes data loss
4)When I try to work it around by CTRL-click and then CTRL-back, the CTRL-back takes ages and functions wrong - the position on the page is wrong, which causes data loss.

I feel contempt towards Mastodon when Mastodon is going out of its way in preventing me from using a standard browser semantics and all possible workarounds I can come up with. I perceive Mastodon as passive aggressive and obstructionist.

towards the UK regime when I see this.

It is my opinion that the police is an armed violent criminal organization (the crime is most often a dereliction of duty, but also failure to render help contributing to death, like in this case).

A prominent architect of the Holocaust used to be the director of international police - the INTERPOL.
