One million children will go untreated for severe malnutrition, up to 166,000 people will die from malaria and 200,000 more children will be paralyzed by polio over the next decade, internal memos estimated.

The USAID programs were cut anyway.

Did y'all hear?

Another Insurance CEO was almost killed at his home.

Is it a policy to not post news about copycats? (Which is a common policy) Or is it that they don't want overwhelming public support for it again?

"The home of State Accident Insurance Fund Corporation (SAIF) CEO Chip Terhune in Lake Oswego, near Portland, was shot up in the early hours of Feb. 21, the Lake Oswego Police Department said Wednesday."

In my opinion, it's not that they fear another CEO's death. CEOs are replaceable. It's that they don't want another anti-hero in the news.

EDIT: Replies are arguing based on the term "anti-hero" without acknowledging the definition of the word, confusing it with the term hero.
Here's the definition of anti-hero: An "antihero" is a main character in a story who lacks the typical heroic qualities like strong morals, selflessness, and idealism, often making questionable decisions while still being the protagonist.

Would the news sharing this information make the suspect in the story a main character? Yes.
Would this person possibly be applauded because it mirrors other recent events? Yes.
Does that term mean we think the person is a hero? No. That's literally not the definition.

Before telling someone to "do their research" or the like, try Googling (or using your preferred search engine) first.

Most of us are limited to expressing our disdain for the current administration through posts and comments on social media and/or sign carrying.

Gotta love the guy who buys a full page ad in the front section of the NYT to say what needs to be said:

(I sent an email thanking him.)

"Elon Musk shared a post on his social network stating that [Mexican billionaire Carlos] Slim could have ties to criminal groups, and five minutes later, ... Slim canceled all business collaborations with Starlink in Latin America, which made Musk lose 7 billion US dollars.

"An hour later, Slim announced that he would transfer his projects for the next 5 years with Starlink, an investment of 22 billion dollars, to companies in China and Europe.

"More than money, Musk lost his main partner in 25 countries...."

Incredible statement from the American Meteorological Organization. It takes a lot for a scientific organization to issue a statement like this:

"U.S. leadership in scientific innovation is at risk due to the recent and ongoing reductions in U.S. federal science capabilities. The consequences to the American people will be large and wide-ranging, including increased vulnerability to hazardous weather...Recent terminations within the government workforce for science are likely to cause irreparable harm and have far-reaching consequences for public safety, economic well-being, and the United States’ global leadership."
