This was a direct sacrifice to aid the case currently before Judge AliKhan re why they haven't released the ordered funding since February 13th.

This administration’s indiscriminate disdain for public service is shameful and offensive.

Who exactly fired him? Musk? How does he have that authority? Rubio? How does he have that authority? Last I checked, “senior officials” have a job to lead by telling the truth. And the last I checked, our US Constitution guarantees us the freedom of speech. I hope this man fights this!

Is there a copy of the memo itself? The article only references it.

Actually believing in your agency's mission is now career suicide.

First they implied the aid was all waste and fraud, then they stopped the aid, then they lied about the impact, now they punish the truth tellers.

I stand with this senior career official! Thank you for your courage!

Republicans loved investigating Hunter Biden. Trump murdering pregnant women and they don't care.

Flip the House Blue ASAP!
Protect USAID!
Healthcare is a human right!

Two upcoming special elections in FL-1 & FL-6 on April 1 can create deadlock with 50-50 party split in House. Third special election in NY-21 can Flip the House Blue!
