Analysis | Trump and Musk can’t seem to locate much evidence of fraud

Now development research institutions are closing down. DI focused on poverty research and provided data for project development. 😢

The center cannot hold. We must rebuild stronger and smarter. Partners not donors. 💪

Every hour that goes by, the USAID chaos only gets worse. 😥

If you feel helpless, go to usaidstopwork.com and share what you know.

They are collecting data to document the direct impact of the recent policy decisions.

So Bishop Budde has a book on being brave......perhaps every member of the incoming cabinet would benefit from a copy? 🤔
