Musk shutters USAID leaving the world's poor in crisis.

It makes me sick with sorrow and shame, and the knowledge that I am powerless to help the people who will suffer and die because of Musk's illegal and immoral closure of USAID. May God have mercy on all those poor, innocent souls.

I'm no lawyer, but the terrorism charge seems wrong to me. And it's not just me. Several commentators have questioned it, including opining that Bragg did it for the headlines.

Whatever the reason for the charges, Bragg has not made himself popular. Moreover, he has very possibly set himself up for jury nullification or acquittal for some other reason. While most people do not condone murder, it seems unlikely to me that most people would consider this murder an act of terrorism. Don't be surprised if Mangione walks as a direct result of Bragg's overreach.

The defense attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, is the best in the business, though she is better known as a prosicuter than a defense lawyer. I have every confidence that she will protect her client's interests. A murderer he may be; a terrorist, he is not.
