RM @meeks.house.gov: "Rubio's unlawful termination of the @PayneFellowship—USAID’s competitive, merit-based pipeline for top talent—undermines the govt's ability to recruit top talent. Congress authorized the program in the national interest. Hastily ending it is self-sabotage."

Trump’s reckless threats, tariffs and aid cuts are alienating our neighbors and rolling out the red carpet for China to walk right into our hemisphere. Weak leadership has consequences, and Beijing is cashing in.

The USAID Inspector General found that Elon Musk’s illegal gutting of USAID has left oversight controls “largely non-operational” – which means what Elon Musk is doing is actually INCREASING the possibility of waste, fraud, and abuse.

Musk, Trump, and silent Republicans are betraying the American people. Every American is less safe because USAID is not out in the field stopping crises before they reach our shores.

How much of our federal budget do you think goes to USAID? 10%? 25%? 40%? Don’t let Trump and Elon lie to you — it’s 0.71%. Foreign aid is a tiny portion of our spending that does good in the world, saves lives, and advances American interests. It must be protected.

Firing 100s responsible for combating nuclear terrorism & preventing global nuclear proliferation is the latest purge jeopardizing our national security. To do what, barely make a dent in paying for Trump’s tax cuts for his billionaire handlers like Musk? npr.org/2025/02/13/n...

Before coming to Congress, I worked in global health with many USAID-funded partners and saw their essential life-saving work firsthand. Trump’s funding freeze is jeopardizing millions of lives — drug deliveries stopped, food aid halted, medical trials ended. Release the funds.

Congressman Brian Mast, I will apologize for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. URI in my state still can’t access funds. People have died from the foreign aid freeze. And aid to stop the spread of Ebola still hasn’t been released.

USAID does lifesaving work abroad to keep Americans safer at home. Without it? More war. More instability. More threats to the U.S. I spoke with @houseforeign.bsky.social on the risks of the President's reckless freeze.

Trump and Elon Musk’s foreign assistance freeze doesn’t keep Americans safe and doesn’t address waste, fraud, and abuse. That’s because this isn’t about more oversight or doing any kind of reform. It’s about completely gutting foreign assistance itself.
