Many friends are cautious and saying, "let's see where this goes" - but you are at your most powerful right now. Every day you do not act normalizes impunity and makes you and the people you serve weaker.

Through comments, I learned about other big myths Americans believe about foreign aid:
1/ it's risen past 1% in recent years, esp. due to Ukraine - false, max is about 0.5% in 2022 $80B
2/ it's used mostly *not* for humanitarian aid - nope
3/ It's mainly about military objectives - nope

Congress has the power of the purse. Seizing that power by “pausing” federal funding is an attempt to consolidate power in the presidency & sideline Congress's powers. We need to protect the sanctity of the 3 branches, immediately & decisively. We will ALWAYS regret the erosion of checks & balances.
