The AP, one of the alleged recipients of USAID largesse, has come out swinging:
https://apnews.com/article/usaid-funding-trump-musk-misinformation-c544a5fa1fe788da10ec714f462883d1
Do read the very last paragraph as it's hilarious. The article is basically "We're just neutral fact-checkers examining these claims..." [spends whole article doing technical nitpicking] "And by the way, did you know USAID is a wonderful independent agency bringing hope and innovation to 100 countries for 60 glorious years?"
The cognitive dissonance is amazing:
"These claims about USAID are misleading and need careful fact-checking. Also here's some unexamined agency propaganda we'll just drop in at the end apropos of nothing in particular!"
It's like watching someone insist they're not biased while wearing the team jersey.
I discovered that our mini Nubian goat, Sundae, had a tick on her teat while milking her yesterday. Thankfully Lynn had to pull a few off himself in combat with unique tricks and we successfully recovered the tick, head intact.

Carla our Easter Egger is the most patient chicken ever, and the best kid chicken I’ve ever seen!
Remember how I survived that one day of farming in frigid Florida winter?
I don’t either.
The cold front, or “winter” as it’s called everywhere else, is over for now in Florida. After temperatures dropping in the 20s, we are back to high 70s & the beach. I still remember numb fingers while milking goats, wearing 4 layers to feed chickens, and seeing my breath. My sun-hat is off to those farming up north, just beginning to hunker down in the cold. One of the reasons we moved back to Florida from Washington state is that we like living in the country and raising animals, but I grew up in Florida so my tolerance for cold is low. Dealing with frozen water troughs, bursting pipes, numb toes - it’s just not my forté. My insulated overalls are back in the closet, waiting for a few more opportunities to work before spring break.
Many of you may already know this but Nate the Lawyer is in surgery right now to remove a brain tumor he never knew he had until this past weekend. Please hold him and his medical team in your prayers. There is an effort underway to get his YouTube channel to 1 Million subscribers before he wakes up. If you’d like to sub, here is his link. I met Nate when he only had 40,000 subs back during the crosshairs of YouTube censorship. I have always found him to be kind and genuine in a world that often rewards neither.

Here is another example of the news media trying to push a narrative based off of limited information and knowledge. This is a farm in Northern IL that sells raw milk and other items from their farm and surrounding farms. Maybe someone good for you to interview, @AlisonMorrow https://allgrassfarms.com/blogs/farm-news/no-turkey-shortage-sample-wild-caught-salmon-sunday-beef-restock
