This is not just a "pause." It is an unlawful destruction now. Foreign aid is a cornerstone of national security with diplomacy and defense. USAID's work reaches 100s of millions worldwide and America will be harmed. Here are some of the lives at stake.
I ran @USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵

Over the last year, at least 50 LGBTQ+ Russians who fled their country and sought asylum in the United States have found themselves locked in American immigration detention centers. It didn't use to be this way.

Interesting that Carlson asks "why am I required" to hate Assad. But nobody is "requiring" him. it's just that normal people, with what used to be normal American/Christian moral values, find torture and mass murder repugnant. He does not. And he also does not want to feel bad about that.
“I don’t have strong feelings about Assad one way or the other,” Tucker Carlson said. “Apparently he’s protected the Christians, so I’m grateful for that as a Christian. But, I don’t—why am I required to hate Assad?”

it's a bad day for the international network of dictators who live in similar palaces
🇸🇾👀 Syrian rebels have entered Assad's palace in Damascus. What Russia has been building in this country for almost 10 years has been destroyed. ‼️ This morning, the rebels announced the beginning of a new era. People in Syria are celebrating in the streets.

Absolutely disgusting. People are being murdered, raped and tortured and they are making money with their tormentors. Glad to know I never drunk their cheap shite in the first place.
Scottish company to bottle Glendale whisky in Russia. “It is all the more galling to see Scotland’s national drink part of this. We should be clear: Russia is an enormous criminal enterprise run by a gangster class.” - sheer greed as usual with some firms. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2475850...

This is true: in Poland, harsh abortion laws and the deaths of women denied care led to a drop in pregnancies
Poland is our Christmas future. Look what else happened after the near total abortion of 21: now only a 1/3 of women state they want to EVER get pregnant. If their goal is more babies, they have it all wrong notesfrompoland.com/2023/01/12/u...
