I was once a child refugee, surviving on USAID rations—without them, my family would have perished. I will never understand the deep-seated cruelty some people carry in their hearts.

USAID used to buy $2B worth of food from US farmers. Now, their food is just rotting away as poor people starve. And next year, many of these same farmers will be farming for government subsidies instead of food. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Gutting USAID threatens billions of dollars for U.S. farms, businesses
U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans.

Home and Community-Based Services waivers help disabled people stay out of institutions. For @motherjones.com, I reported on how disabled people's independence is threatened by attacks on Medicaid that fund HCBS waivers (and others). www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
