Elon Musk and Donald Trump have been brutalizing the families of American citizens working abroad for USAID, sometimes in dangerous and remote places. So remember that the Musk assault on USAID isn't just killing foreigners but also threatens US citizens.

Madmen are doing surgery on USAID with a chainsaw. Predictably, it is now near death. Building gone. Personnel slashed >90%. With few exceptions, contracts aiding millions are either terminated or frozen despite court order. Rubio says lifesaving work continues but it’s untrue.

Awful news --> Delivery of therapeutic food assistance to nearly 400,000 severely malnourished kids is suddenly in doubt due to Trump-Musk firings at USAID, two manufacturers of the product tell me. "Starving children are waiting," one says. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/191935…

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Yesterday, Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressional mandated. They've saved millions of lives. 🧵

"USAID now is not capable of deploying any kind of disaster response teams, because of the destruction is ongoing." Fmr USAID official, who led the Ebola response under President Obama, joins Brianna Keilar to react to Musk's claims Ebola prevention efforts have been restored

USA led the world in expertise stopping HIV, incl preventing mother to child transmission. But DOGE has now dismissed every global prevention expert at USAID, CDC, & State Dept. The risk is insane: Resurgent HIV & 500K child deaths by 2030. nytimes.com/2025/04/08/hea…

Today we celebrated a milestone years in the making. The Valley Metro Light Rail South Central Extension is officially open! 🚊 I fought hard for this project—as a councilman, as mayor and now in Congress—because I know how transformative it’ll be for South Phoenix. The new 5.5
