I’m here at the “gala” concert in the EU foreign aid dept’s €387k metaverse (designed to attract non politically engaged 18-35 year olds — see story below). After initial bemused chats with the roughly five other humans who showed up, I am alone.

[Amruta Byatnal @amrutabyatnal]

I’m glad that @nytimes chose to report on this important issue - a story that I broke over two weeks ago for @devex. Their reporters spoke to the same sources, and quote the same figures as we did. It takes nothing to credit smaller publications. My piece: https://t.co/RORrVG0mlU

So not only was the topline budget for international affairs far less than what many development, global health, and humanitarian folks hoped, but now they're pulling COVID-19 emergency funding from the bill entirely? This seems...not great? @seanrsimons @LizSchrayer @KeiferMA

[Tony Pipa @anthonypipa]

A day ago @devex ran a piece by @catherinecheney on dignity as the bedrock for making a real difference in intl devp. Paul Farmer was an example of this. May we hold fast and expand on this as part of his legacy.
