In February, one nonprofit got waivers for its programs supporting refugees in war-torn regions.
On Wednesday, the waivers were terminated.
In Somalia alone, its clinics served 1,200 patients/day.
On Thursday, all those clinics closed.

I just want to say 'Lobbying' is not a bad word!
The dictionary definition means "to conduct activities aimed at influencing public officials and especially members of a legislative body on legislation"
We all have the right to influence the decisions made by the people who represent us!

With little significant resistance rising in Congress or within the Republican Party, President Trump’s opponents are turning to the judicial branch. More than 40 lawsuits filed in recent days seek to push back against his executive actions.

Trump's been purging and intimidating USAID employees.
Now there’s a rumor he'll dissolve USAID as an independent agency.
It was created by JFK and established in law to further our national security and spread hope.
This'd be illegal and against our national interests.
