In the midst of a worsening climate crisis, American leadership in this hemisphere has never been more important.

Where we step down, China & Russia step up.

If we give up our seat at the table, we will be on the menu.

Republicans are abandoning the fight for freedom and democracy around the world and letting China & Russia call the shots.

When we invest in stability abroad, we protect American lives, American jobs, and American leadership.

@levin.house.gov

Development programs feed families, teach children, and promote peace around the world.

All while creating jobs and prosperity at home.

@repmrvan.bsky.social

Diplomacy and development go hand-in-hand with American defense.

Programs like USAID build goodwill, save lives, and make the our country stronger.

@repdean.bsky.social

This is not a difficult choice.

Just because we cannot hear the whimpering of a child a world away, does not mean we are relieved of the moral responsibility to ease their suffering when we can.

And we most certainly can.

This America LAST foreign affairs bill will put us LAST in global influence, LAST in international leadership, and LAST in our ability to respond to threats at home and abroad.

@bishop.house.gov

Soft power makes America stronger, safer, and more prosperous.

@repmarcykaptur.bsky.social

Our adversaries are already working to fill in the vacuum this bill would help create on the world stage.

@hoyer.house.gov

A strong America does not hide. It does not bully.

A strong America leads with vision, with courage, and with compassion.

Whose name is on that sack of flour? Whose name is on the door of the clinic? Whose name is on the schoolbook? The United States of America.

It must remain that way.
