One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it should be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is a really good person. After that excellent on-point sermon that sent Trainwreck Trumpy into a twist, she's been getting death threats (very Christian of them!). Her response 👇 This is a beacon of light and strength - which puts the fear of God in Trainwreck Trump.
