“”But for a Republican senator to say they are so worried that they’re going to betray their oath of office is such cowardice. Why are you in office?””nytimes.com/2025/03/06/us/… via @NYTimes

Thanks to those dedicated to protecting the US & the world from the deadliest infectious disease, TB. W/the destruction sowed by the White House, we will need many more such champions. Support them to do their work.

Illegal impoundment, looking for retroactive justification that doesn’t exist, is still illegal impoundment. Requests to NOT SPEND appropriated funds must go to Congress. Exclusive: Inside USAID's postmortem program review devex.com/news/exclusive… #Devex via @Devex

USAID’s “tagline was “From the American people,” and perhaps the American people didn’t understand that it was also for them.” This will be a fatal misunderstanding.

Wait, what? Republican leadership advises not meeting w/constituents to avoid embarrassment? Better advice to achieve the desired outcome: don’t abdicate responsibility for governing in their constituents best interest & don’t capitulate to a bully! nytimes.com/2025/03/04/us/…

On Tuesday, prominent author and personality John Green published his new nonfiction book "Everything Is Tuberculosis." Carole Mitnick, professor of global health and social medicine, calls the disease the "quintessential marker of inequity." #Harvard harvardmagazine.com/2025/03/future…

Every single innovation in TB treatment, diagnosis, prevention over the last few decades has relied on research in S. Africa. If your neighbor in KS, TX, WY, etc gets TB, you are at risk bcuz of this latest petty move. It makes America less, not #MoreSecure

Thx, Spotlight , for explaining the global impact of 1️⃣example of USG’s pettiness & short-sightedness. Every advance in TB & HIV care relies on research in S. Africa. Cutting foreign aid funds kills people today. Cutting research funds kills people for generations.

The spokeswoman for China’s ministry of foreign affairs just posted this:

Thx The Lancet Respiratory Medicine for rapid pub of endTB-Q & podcast. Resistant TB is more likely w/US withdrawal from global health. Trial results affirm dangers of one-size-fits-all approaches in TB & all infectious diseases. 🎧: tinyurl.com/mw2u2u8z 🔗 article: tinyurl.com/4y4kf35y
