US policy has relied on the 3Ds: Development, Diplomacy, & Defense. 70 years of bipartisan support existed because spending less than 1% of our budget on the first reduces cost for the other 2.

Musk’s lies about USAID -and the effort to dismantle it- are not just mean, they make us less safe.

“Never Again” isn’t supposed to be a slogan, but a Call to Action. On this Holocaust Remembrance Day may we stop ignoring the past, vocally object to any part being repeated, and actively work for change.

May their memories be a blessing. #NoNazis #Resist
