Meanwhile, China is investing billions in Africa, where the vast bulk of the global workforce will live in fifty years.

Interesting when people point out the personal profit from compassion.

A surprise from the opinion editors at Washington Post — they are actually criticizing an action of the Trump Administration! It’s more of a mild rebuff than a bona fide call-out against an asinine and rash action. But I promised to credit any good deed of my hometown paper, not just all the bad. 🥺

It's misunderstood by the public thanks in large part to the Washington Post.

The WaPo board coming out against USAID cuts makes me wonder if these also happen to be part of the smoke and mirrors distraction of the Doge’s Weekend the Treasury similar to the tariff talks tomorrow morning to resolve the trade war???

The only thing that matters to these horrid people is that USAID helps people of color.

In the first administration the petty dickhead tried to eliminate Meals on Wheels. Can someone please drown him in his golden toilet?

Wonder how the MAGAt Felon is going to market his next pandemic?

Trump and his money-loving Big Tech friends are too parochial and dollar-oriented to understand anything else than profit.

They disregard the position of the U.S. in the world; as a superpower Defender of Democracy, it is its moral obligation to bring aid to suffering countries.

Is this actually a WaPo handle? Is Jeff okay with this? Cuz he left his balls on the Resolute Desk.
