Top USAID officials are trying to create a false narrative that life-saving aid has continued despite Trump’s blanket halt to foreign aid. Our @nytimes.com reporting shows the exact opposite. USAID even issued an internal email to stop applications for waivers: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u... - ThreadSky

Reminds me of the propaganda hitler showed the world while doing the exact opposite.

Despicable.

Congratulations!!! What a way to pay it forward! Thank you for a light of hope in these dark times.

It’s mainly brown people, so fuck ‘em, right?

Wow @nytimes does investigative reporting? Their utter failure to question or investigate anything about Trump is in part how we wound up in this illegal fascist takeover. Could you look into the fake assassination and vote hacking? Thx.

orangeexpat.bsky.social•7 days ago

Right? A little late to the party. You spineless pricks are not free of blame for this horrific destruction.

we are looking at a global genocide.
Because of 1 pitiful old white man.

The one thing Trump and MAGA are good at is lying straight-faced to the whole world.

suzzanee.bsky.social•7 days ago

Horrific. Once torn apart it will be hard to piece anything back together. Trump & Musk, taking the U.S. back decades and into a new dark age.

joyhecht-life.bsky.social•7 days ago

I think it's the world, not just the US.

suzzanee.bsky.social•7 days ago

The world is experiencing far right extremism due to pushback to the massive human migration since the Middle East wars began. But European countries are not like the US in their racism. The U.S. still clings to the Civil War & Confederate flag. Maga is just revived racism, the New Confederacy.

joyhecht-life.bsky.social•6 days ago

Suzanne, for sure. I meant that it will be hard to put the world back together, not that everyone is like the US.

suzzanee.bsky.social•3 days ago

That is certain. After what trump is doing to the U.S., repairing it will take a lifetime.

abby77.bsky.social•7 days ago

What do you expect when suddenly Trump & DOGE closed down USAID & kicked all employees?

Trump & Musk don’t know how to operate or close properly any departments nor organizations! 🤬

With millions of potential meals for the hungry rotting in a warehouse.
The cruelty never ends with the new Dictator.

I’m sure a Rubio thumping Bible quote will fix it all.

I was just on a flight next to a gentleman returning from a summit in Asia - he said the entire USAID contingent was absent, they were programmed to attend.

Democrats need to rebrand America First as America ALONE.

So Liddle Marco lied like the weak ass Republican that he is?

Rubio is going to pay for being part of the Trump admin

rjdownard.bsky.social•7 days ago

Information distortion and suppression is the ONLY game the Trumpistas know how to play. It's how the grifters got as far as they have already, and they shall not stop till the People reject them & eject them from our politics.

Bravo! Well said!!

Anyone whose worked in the developing world knows that relationships are everything. Even were these monies magically being redistributed to NGOs on the ground (and no evidence that they are) those NGOs have a different set of relationships and folks are going to be left behind.

Rubio has always been a lying sack of shit.

susan77arnold.bsky.social•7 days ago

Rubio has always been a liar

kevingan52.bsky.social•7 days ago

Rubio’s word is worthless? I’m astonished!

chaoticrespite.bsky.social•7 days ago

Why are these fascists stll above ground, upright with a pulse? C'mon, Luigi!!

Evil and soulless. The suffering people will never believe so many Americans care and feel the shame that belongs to the heartless people who feel none. Is Franklin Graham still praying for this "success"

tiredofthisshit.bsky.social•7 days ago

Fuck lying republican trash.

sanfele.bsky.social•7 days ago

I guess everybsingle Republican lied

Donald Trump is a very evil man

happyharry77.bsky.social•7 days ago

The Trump Administration would rather climb a tree and lie than stay on the ground and tell the truth

It’s really important to watch what they’re doing not what they’re saying. “We’re following all court orders” to keep agency funded- so let’s put everyone on adimistrarive leave thus shutting
Down the agency.
It’s vile and duplicitous

torkamata.bsky.social•7 days ago

I didn't realize funding woke pro-trans operas in Ireland counted as life-saving aid.

stefstanley.bsky.social•7 days ago

Of course they are lying. They won by lying. They gain strength by lying. They keep going by lying.

When TB treatment is interrupted, patients are far more likely to develop drug-resistant TB, which is a catastrophe both individually (the disease becomes harder to cure) and societally (we're allowing the bacteria millions of new opportunities to develop further resistance)
