Yes, USAID has its issues (we all know), but this was a win. Mark II pumps are still saving lives in Africa, Asia & beyond. NGOs, governments, and communities rely on them to keep the water flowing. #DevelopmentMatters #USAIDfreeze

Back in the 1970s, handpumps in villages kept breaking down—too expensive to fix, hard to maintain. USAID, UNICEF, and India’s gov’t teamed up to design a strong, simple, easy-to-repair pump for deep wells. #WASH #USAIDfreeze #Development

Trump’s latest move to freeze USAID funding is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Hurting American workers and farmers just to make a point? Classic Trump logic.

Morning Joe! Your guest’s use of the term “woke ideology” is similar to Musk using the term “full transparency” and then he lauds Brian Mast. So, never mind. Wait, now, he’s saying, “Some of USAid staff disregarded the freeze”? Didn’t a Federal Judge overrule that freeze?

What cutting USAID could cost the U.S. — and how China, Russia may benefit Concerns are growing in Washington that abruptly halting assistance from the U.S. Agency for International Development “opens up a window for China and Russia,” one analyst said.

As the #USAIDfreeze continues, it is already “having a direct effect on people whose lives are already vulnerable,” says @petertaylor-uk.bsky.social director of the Institute of Development Studies, in this article from @nbcnews.com 👇

#USAID

This is blatantly and appallingly incorrect.
@VP JD Vance just said NGOs delivering foreign aid are “dedicated to spreading atheism” around the world.
