Watch this to the end.

Tragic…
some story behind the numbers:
In just a few days, close to 300 USAID teammates let go.
They represent the best in US civilian capacity, responding to disasters&conflicts - many served in hardship posts, to save lives.

While USAID may be changed forever,
their spirit remains resolute.

Republicans and boating lobbyists spent millions to block the rule by running ads, overwhelming NOAA and running down the clock.

It worked 👇

Continuing to provide Israel with the offensive weapons it uses on civilians is morally wrong.

8 million turkeys will be thrown in the trash this Thanksgiving
We don’t have to accept all that death and waste for a dry, flavorless bird no one likes.
