.Rep. Brian Mast, I will apologize for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. URI in my state still can’t access funds. People have died from the foreign aid freeze. And aid to stop the spread of Ebola still hasn’t been released.

@RepBrianMast Respectfully, @RepGabeAmo, apparently you have decided to join @SenWhitehouse in embracing a tough-talk, childish obstinance against the new administration's efforts to root out waste, fraud and abuse in federal spending. You and your party are on the wrong side of this issue.

D.C. bureaucrats torch your cash, call it "foreign aid," and expect applause. H.R. 2341 caps Economic Support Fund at $2.545B—yet Ebola aid still sits frozen while American cities crumble. The real issue? Congress prioritizes global handouts over saving American lives. Taxpayer dollars fund their grift, not real solutions. Shut it down.

Cuts to USAID have cost thousands of jobs, and halted foreign aid, including life-saving products like Plumpynut, which can bring malnourished children back to health in just weeks. @skylerhenry visited the warehouse to see how the foreign aid freeze has left the nonprofit in a state of confusion.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program. But in Myanmar, families tell The Associated Press their loved ones have died as a direct result of the aid cuts.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio exploded as ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos pressed him on his denial that people had died as a result of U.S. aid cuts. During the Tuedsay morning interview on Good Morning America Rubio painted the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), shuttered by Elon Musk’s DOGE initiative this year, as having been bloated and corrupt. We shut down U.S. aid because it was a dysfunctional organization,” Rubio began. “We moved it under the State Department,” he said. “We are going to do more foreign aid than any country in the world… but we’re going to do it the right way.” “That’s all in the future, but are you standing by that comment you’re saying that no one died because of the aid cuts are all those aid organizations?” Stephanopoulos asked. “That’s ridiculous,” Rubio snapped back. Rubio continued: “Well first of all, well then they died because England didn’t give enough money or Canada didn’t give more or China did. Let’s blame the other countries that don’t do any foreign aid. How about China? I mean China’s the second largest economy in the world. They don’t give money to these projects.” “I think anybody who tells you that somehow it’s the United States, if we cut a dollar, somehow we’re responsible for some horrific thing that’s going on in the world, it’s just not true,” Rubio replied. The secretary of state pivoted to blame corruption and “gangs” in the countries receiving aid. Rubio continued: “One of the reasons why some of the places didn’t get the aid is not because we cut the aid. It’s because there’s a war going on and the aid never got to the people. So in Sudan, for example, it’s not just a humanitarian catastrophe, it is a war zone. Okay, the aid is stolen, the aid is impeded, in fact they use aid as a tool against the people, and so blocking aid is a tool and an arm of war. So in some of these places, the reason why the aid isn’t getting there is it can’t be distributed.” He added: “Look at Haiti, one of the reasons why aid can’t be distributed in Haiti, is you can send all the aid in the world you want, it gets hijacked and stolen by criminal gangs that control the country. And so they’re the ones to blame for whatever is happening there, not us who provided more aid than anybody else.” Returning to his original question: “Stephanopoulos again replied, “Well let me just say one more time, are you standing by your contention that no one has died?” “No one has died because the United States has cut aid,” Rubio clapped back. “No, people have died because gangs steal the aid. People have died because the distributors of aid have not done well. People have died because other countries haven’t stepped up, but the United States has saved more lives and continues to save more lives than any other country in the world.” He concluded: “And we’re gonna continue to do it, but we’re going to do the right way and in a responsible way. We’re not going to continue to pour billions of dollars out the door of American taxpayer funds for programs that don’t work and in some cases were flat out corrupt.” Who loves Marco Rubio as Secretary of State? I do! 👍🏻

Access to food, water, fuel, and other humanitarian aid has been cut off in much of Gaza. Hospitals have had to shut down and people cannot access clean drinking water. International humanitarian law must be followed — and aid must be allowed in to assist the Palestinian people.

These people have been starved for 60+ days and are now beeing given only what the US & Israel deem 'enough' to appease the public opinion. Thousands of aid & medicine trucks - that will soon expire - are still waiting in Egypt's Rafah.

This holiday season, as I sit in comfort with medicine, warm food, and safety, I can’t stop thinking of the people in Gaza. My heart aches knowing my government sends bombs instead of aid. We have to do more to end this genocide!

Listen up American taxpayers. Did you know you’ve been paying for Development and Construction Aid in Somalia in additional to Humanitarian Aid for over 43 years In Somalia YOU have been paying for Infrastructure support including roads, bridges, schools, hospitals, water systems, governance, agriculture. Even finding their Military and security aid - Humanitarian aid $14.1 billion - Development/Construction Aid $2.7 billion Why are we going to work every day to pay for any of this?? “Somalia. They've been receiving development aid. This is separate from humanitarian aid. For at least 43 years, from U.S. taxpayers, and we have been the single largest donors to aid in that nation.”

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.
