Trump has no right to withhold any of it.
I'm not sure what I'm looking forward to more the next 4 years. Watching their policies crash and burn in court or watching the policies that actually survive blow up in their face. #ElonaldRulesOrNot
These are not serious people, but they're having serious consequences.
Lying to deny it’s happening?
We don’t beg for use of our own money.
For fucks sake, you people and your headlines.

“The Trump administration on Tuesday issued a waiver for lifesaving medicines and medical services, offering a reprieve for a worldwide H.I.V. treatment program that was halted last week.”
Why is that put in passive voice? Who halted it? Why doesn’t it start with HE halted it? 🤔
Rubio announcemene “seemed to allow for the distribution of H.I.V. medications”
Stop saying this is a “reprieve.” This is just more mass confusion.
1) Initial incompetence
2) Who owns stock in the medicines and services ?
3) He who giveth takes away and then gives back as a hero.
They're *also* deeply evil and malevolent, of course.
But it should never even have come to this.
It's criminal that ignorant ideologues, confident in their "mandate" to inflict harm on the most vulnerable, didn't know or care what the consequences of their actions would be.
