Thanks to ODA, since 1990, we halved the number of children dying before the age of five, from 10 million a year to 4.9m In 90 countries, child deaths dropped by two thirds In just 3 years, we cut maternal deaths by 40%, down to 280,000 USAID saved an estimated 92 million lives over two decades

NEW — Iran had already presented a 10-point plan. Then Trump wakes up today and threatens to blow up Iran's "whole civilization" if they don't bend. And then, just an hour before his deadline, he announces a ceasefire, citing Iran's "workable" 10-point plan.

zeteo.comTrump Begs Off Pledge to Genocide 90 MillionTrump says that Iran has presented a 'workable' deal, calling it a 'double sided ceasefire' for two weeks.

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.
