What Remains of U.S.A.I.D.? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Excellent reporting by the NYT detailing the confusion and haphazard destruction of USAID. What remains is based on who you know, not the value of the program. The DOGE chaos is just stupid. The biggest beneficiary of this mess is China

Seems fishy. And wasteful. Possibly fraudulent. And inefficient. If only we had someone to sniff out fraud, waste and abuse and make things more efficient?
SpaceX just landed a $5.92B contract with the Pentagon for Space Force rocket launches — the largest contract among the three firms who secured deals to send satellites into orbit.

While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall.

You can't make it to the DC for the Hill Meetup, but still have some things you'd like to say in support of foreign assistance to your representatives?

No problem! Write us a letter through the QR code/link in the flyer, and we'll format and hand-deliver.

If republicans want democratic support they should work in a bi-partisan effort. Proud of Dems for saying they won’t comply just because Reps threaten. Work together or do it alone.

I know, we're exhausted, but we have one more action tonight to try to shame the Supreme Court into doing the right thing. We are not hopeful but we must #resist #saveforeignassistance #USAID

There are now 955 cases & 60 deaths from an unknown illness in DRC (links below). As this outbreak is growing, CDC is not permitted to exchange information with WHO and USAID outbreak response support is banned. Yesterday the Supreme court “paused” a federal judge order for USAID payments to resume.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.
