This is the first time we are hearing from senior leadership at USAID in this way, how political appointees impeded staff from continuing life-saving programs, and who did it.

These r the stories they don’t want “real” journalists to cover! I’m going to borrow: Liberty, Equality, Fraternity! it seems our brethren have forgotten the sacrifices those before have made. We stand on their shoulders!
Nick isn’t senior political leadership. He was director of P3 branch until a month ago. The poltical leadership picked him as acting admin because he was very jr and they thought they could control him after they fired all of the actual leadership. Guess they were wrong
Starting Jan 29, staff scrambled to request life-saving waivers after all foreign aid was paused. Enrich sent an email on Jan 31st to three political appointees about waivers, but didn't get a response until Feb. 4, when one said to be "draconian" in what they approved.
Rubio needs to tried for crimes against humanity. He is directly responsible for thousands of deaths, and many more to come I’m sure.
Still quoting your Bible Marco? You obviously never received the message it had for you.
I need to read completely but that includes help to Congo and Syria, so let think two things Congo resources are their any private investigations against someone's over let say Rwanda invasion's on Congo?? And Syria Israel, and Russia presence there???
Yes they did say the world is overpopulated & this is their way of culling them.....Which flies in the face that Elmo has 12 kids, Talk about overpopulating 🤮
Nonprofits made clear to USAID staff that without payment, they couldn't continue their life-saving work. On Feb 7, senior officials acknowledged that all of USAID's payment systems had been shut off by DOGE, so funds couldn't go out.
In the weeks that followed, USAID received conflicting information on a near daily basis about whether waivers could continue and how. On Feb 24, political leadership said to deprioritize programs for mpox, polio, and Ebola, noting waivers for that work would not be approved.
Then, on Feb 26, Secretary of State Marco Rubio terminated 5,000 USAID programs all at once, including care for malaria, TB and HIV. Shortly after political appointees told Enrich that they'd made some mistakes. "There is an acknowledgement some may have been sent out in error."
thank you. used your quotes in emails requesting meetings with rep ciscomani and sen kelly dc staffers. These need to be widely circulated. you pulled out key things. I hope many groups follow up on this and educate the public as well.
