Because some have questioned the effectiveness of #AIDS medicines, please take a look at this woman. First pic is before she received medicines. Second, 90 days thereafter. Medicine (ARVS) works. They’re cheap. Folks know that America sent them. ⁦@RED⁩ ⁦@ONECampaign⁩

Trump promised 800 homes. Held a big press conference. “We love our vets”. Congratulated himself. Now, months later, his agency says only 200, admitted only after questioning by #vet advocates. Plus, no plans for community assets (coffee shop, hang out space, etc). #homeless

[Vets Advocacy @VATheRightWay]

VA promise of 800 new homes on West L.A. campus this year shrinks to 260 https://t.co/ST67yD5pLJ

A true wise man. Saved many lives. See his book on Dorothy Day, “A radical devotion”, for a dose of his brilliant kindness.

Robert Coles, an eminent child psychiatrist, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and Harvard professor who came to wide renown documenting social and political unrest and its impact on young people, the poor and the vulnerable, died June 4. He was 97. https://t.co/ZGQXV0j3to

Right then. Right now! Sarge!

Our Quote of the Week gets us thinking about the nature of politics. As many states begin voting in primaries in preparation for the November mid-terms, we are watching for candidates who are committed to the politics of service.

Smart insight from Professor Green!

Hooray for @bfrist & @JohnKerry,
the early leaders on this historic,
All American idea. And hooray for the activists of @ONECampaign &
many other faith based Americans who urged our leaders forward. 26 million people alive, contributing to their communities. Think about that!

[Bill Frist, M.D. @bfrist]

More than 26 million people are alive today because of PEPFAR.

Tomorrow marks 23 years since America came together to confront one of the greatest public health crises of our time.

Here’s the story:

[Bobby Shriver @bobbyshriver]

Dad (and his genius team) created @HeadStartgov in 7 weeks! LBJ (@LBJLibrary) got the law passed! Hooray for their values and hard work. Many American families have succeeded because of this great program! @RSargentShriver

Incredible pro social innovation. Go Sarge!

Head Start is celebrating its 61st anniversary this week! Here, Sargent Shriver (right) celebrates its launch with (from left to right) sons Timothy and Bobby, Danny Kaye, Lady Bird Johnson, and Mrs. Lou Maginn.

Mass starvation. Of the poorest, most vulnerable people. Alas. (November your vote can change this!!).

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

President Trump's Iran war is pushing 45 million more people into hunger, particularly Africa, because of rising transport costs. It may turn out that the war will kill more children in Africa, through malnutrition, than in Iran. Thanks to @WFP for fighting to feed the hungry.

[Bobby Shriver @bobbyshriver]

Mr Musk, a white South African, came to Washington to do this. Black South Africans are dying. Folks, there’s a connection!! Please do not buy Teslas or use Starlink. His power comes from our purchases.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

The Trump administration is rolling out a new narrative about its aid program: Aid continues! More effective than ever! Trade over aid!
And it's nonsense. Trump and Musk destroyed a program that was saving a life once every 10 seconds on average. This has been Trump's most lethal policy, and now he's doubling down by withholding vaccines from poor countries -- like a $3 vaccine against malaria, and a $4 vaccine against cervical cancer. Some 600,000 will die just from that.
"Trade over aid" sounds fine, but what it means in practice is that if Zambia doesn't agree to sell copper and cobalt to American companies, we'll withhold lifesaving aid from Zambian villagers.
Here's my column on the hollowness of Trump's attempt to dress up his destruction of humanitarian aid, after a year to assess results: https://t.co/Wfw71XjNeQ

[Bobby Shriver @bobbyshriver]

“.The world’s richest men are crushing the world’s poorest children.” WHO? Trump & Musk. They did this and are continuing to do it. Please vote in November. We must take their power away.

[Bobby Shriver @bobbyshriver]

500,000 dead children!!! Mr Musk, how does that make you feel? Glad you “saved money”? @ONECampaign

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

It's true: Humanitarian aid isn't great at driving economic growth. What it excels at is saving lives. And what the Trump administration is good at is dismantling aid efforts that saved lives. A BU estimate is that more than half a million children have died so far as a result.

[Bobby Shriver @bobbyshriver]

This sentence!!! “… an asylum in which clueless zealots around Elon Musk were killing aid recipients worldwide without having a clue what they were even doing.” Hard to believe that this actually has happened!! Purchasing Teslas enable this evil man’s power. Pls buy another car

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Just finished Nicholas Enrich's new book, "Into the Wood Chipper," about Doge's destruction of USAID. It's a window into an asylum in which clueless zealots around Elon Musk were killing aid recipients worldwide without having a clue what they were even doing.

Alas. This blood is on Musk’s hands. And Trump’s. American values? Sure hope we join together & vote these folks out of office in November. Who knows what they will do if they retain power? Cut Medicare? Social security? Your life could be in jeopardy. Serious!

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Excellent piece by @snolen about increasing deaths from AIDS in Zambia because of Trump’s cuts in humanitarian aid. PEPFAR was one of America’s policy triumphs, reversing the tide of AIDS, but now we are retreating. https://t.co/EQCan6kUZF

Trump's big promise for veteran housing is AWOL in VA budget proposal. No surprise that Trump breaks promises. Thousands of #homeless #vets in LA. Build the housing! https://t.co/XNUUSYkB0M

“In a world wounded by arrogance, people hunger and thirst for justice”. Amen. Wisdom.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In a world wounded by arrogance, people hunger and thirst for justice. We must encourage those who believe in peace and dare to engage in “countercurrent” politics, which focus on the common good. What is urgently needed is the courage of new visions and an educational pact that gives young people space and trust. #ApostolicJourney #EquatorialGuinea https://t.co/81zzJos7Ij

Terrible policy. Poorest Americans will suffer.

[Steven Rattner @SteveRattner]

The Trump budget is historic.

For the first time in recent history, the government would spend a larger share of its annual budget on defense than on domestic programs.

@Morning_Joe

[Bobby Shriver @bobbyshriver]

Nothing worse than poor people with a lawyer! Right? Let’s cut that budget asap. Bring back doge & Elon.

[Legal Services Corp. @LSCtweets]

LSC's just-released budget request to Congress highlights the depth of civil legal needs for low-income Americans and the resources essential to addressing them.
