This is outrageous and criminal. USAID is a bright spot in our government, with thousands of dedicated civil servants and local hires. This is incredibly sad and shameful.

Good advice for the next four years.
Good morning, Blue Sky.
Being resilient is easier when you're surrounded by the right people.
Build communities that make you smarter and tougher for the battles ahead.
Never give up hope. Never stop fighting for what is right. And just.
Whatever comes our way, we will face it together.
