Outside of USAID headquarters, Senator Brian Schatz:
"If you want to change an agency, introduce a bill and pass a law. You cannot wave away an agency that you don't like or that you disagree with by executive order, or by literally storming into the building and taking over the servers."
BOOM!

🚨Killing USAID makes us LESS SAFE.
People will suffer and die if that funding disappears, and instability around the world will increase. American Troops could be put into harm’s way as a result, and it will benefit our adversaries.
It is blatantly, unequivocally unconstitutional.

"Maybe before coming after USAID, Republican should look at the billions and billions of dollars of tax breaks and subsidies they give to oligarchs like Elon Musk. You want to save some money? Let's start there."

Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China are like making your own groceries more expensive and calling it a victory. If that worked, I’d have fixed potholes by charging people to drive over them. Spoiler: It doesn’t.
