I'm hearing from experts around the world about the "global health massacre" caused by the Trump/Musk destruction of USAID. Millions of malnourished children left to starve. Babies with neural tube defects. Surveillance against bird flu set back.All this kills children just as wonderful as our own.

Trump and DOGE accused federal civil servants of fraud (with no evidence). Meanwhile, they're halting enforcement of a foreign anti-bribery law, dropping criminal charges against Eric Adams, and pardoning a former governor who tried to sell Obama's Senate seat. Hello?

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated. Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

To the Republicans on the Foreign Relations Committee — do you realize how Elon Musk's lies about USAID reflect on YOU? When he calls USAID a "criminal enterprise"...he's also implicating YOU as co-conspirators for funding it. YOU NEED TO STAND UP TO MUSK AND HOLD SFRC HEARINGS!

NEW: My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means Musk's henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America. And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason.

Republicans have long supported USAID and the work it does to advance our national security and outcompete China. Foreign assistance has long had bipartisan support and we must remove the politics from this critical instrument of our national security.

Musk totally humiliated Trump during their joint Oval Office press conference. Musk brought along his 4-year-old son — making Trump look like the kid’s babysitter — disrespectfully wore a T-shirt and baseball cap, and even interrupted Trump. It’s clear who’s really in control, and it ain’t Trump.
