It’s #Davos week.

The @wef event is known as a playground for the elite.

But it represents so much more.

And the whole worldview of #wef2023 has taken a bashing.

Here’s the #backstory. 🧵

We absolutely need to have permanent pathway for our #AfghanAllies to legally remain in US- and to get here! Service in support of US efforts over 20 years came in many forms and we must honor our promises to these Afghans
#AfghanAdjustmentAct #AfghanEvac Coalition

[#AfghanEvac @afghanevac]

You'll not find another issue with such broad support.
Military leaders and diplomats, business and labor, humanitarians and veterans. Nearly everyone supports the #AfghanAdjustmentAct because it's the right thing to do and makes us more secure. https://t.co/EApI2ZZbBu

[#AfghanEvac @afghanevac]

WSJ ENDORSED!

The Afghan Adjustment Act is good policy.

AAA:
creates pathways for allies not currently covered
reduces bureaucratic backlog
mandates our strictest available security vetting

For veterans and our allies. Because it makes sense. Pass AAA

David Lipton is a global & American treasure. He used his extraordinary mind, genuine warmth & interest in substance (not turf) to improve public policy & the welfare of the US & world's people. His longtime service at Treasury & IMF was beyond exemplary. Thank you, David Lipton.

With a bit of @thebeatles and @MCHammer thrown in.

As of today, there are 8 billion people on the planet.
