The State Department terminated 10,000 grants and other awards, including for life-saving programs with waivers.

60 NGOs are now urging the Administration to reverse course. Restore and fund programs that are crucial for global stability.

Today, the State Department terminated 10,000 State and USAID grants and other awards, effectively crippling American foreign assistance, including life-saving programs for which Secretary of State Rubio had granted waivers. Our statement ⤵️

The Administration’s decision to abruptly end their review of foreign assistance and gut thousands of programs undermines our ability to win against our rivals and protect our security, prosperity, and standing in the world. ⬇️

🚨 BREAKING: The Trump administration is terminating thousands of foreign aid awards just hours before a court-ordered deadline to restore funding. #USAID & State Department projects — including those delivering humanitarian aid — are being cut. https://t.co/R2noKkcrvP

[Senate Foreign Relations Committee @SFRCdems]

Last week, @SenatorShaheen convened her Democratic colleagues for a roundtable discussion with experts on the national security implications of halting U.S. foreign assistance and dismantling USAID — none of which makes America safer, more secure or more prosperous.

[USGLC @USGLC]

At a @HouseForeignGOP hearing yesterday, despite being titled “the Betrayal of USAID,” Republicans, Democrats, and witnesses alike emphasized the importance of America's international assistance programs in advancing our own security and prosperity. 👇🧵

[Marco Rubio @marcorubio]

Foreign Aid is not charity. We must make sure it is well spent, but it is less than 1% of budget & critical to our national security.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Hearing that Trump is about to double down on the constitutional crisis. A President cannot eliminate an appropriated federal agency by executive order. That’s what a despot - who wants to steal the taxpayers money to enrich his billionaire cabal - does.

Watch USAID tonight.

[InterAction @InterActionOrg]

America’s humanitarian & development orgs work tirelessly to save lives & advance U.S. interests globally, powered by the generosity of the American people.

We urge @secrubio & the Administration to continue America’s vital work during the review process.

I’m all in on a smart and thoughtful review of America’s foreign assistance programs but a non-surgical freeze just hands the stage to our rivals. My statement on the “stop-work orders” for foreign assistance 👇 (not good for 🇺🇸 national@interest)

[Devex @devex]

The incoming Trump administration has a unique opportunity to expand its previous policies on localization by supporting countries with cost-effective solutions that build self-reliance & bolster US interests, writes @mercycorps’ @kpbarrasso.

Kamala Harris talks about the suffering and humanity of the Palestinian people in ways that you just don't hear from President Biden

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

I am proud to announce that I've asked @Tim_Walz to be my running mate.

As a governor, a coach, a teacher, and a veteran, he's delivered for working families like his.

It's great to have him on the team.

Now let’s get to work. Join us:

.@POTUS - your red line in Rafah has been crossed.

What will you do?

Mercy Corps & other NGOs oppose changes to Food for Peace Title II in the House Majority Farm Bill proposal that would impede emergency and non-emergency programming. Read more here: https://t.co/mZ8dKFD8T0

[InterAction @InterActionOrg]

Global hunger is on the rise, with 735M+ people unsure where their next meal is coming from.

Without political action, more people will suffer.

Congress must strengthen international food aid programs within the #FarmBill to reach more people with aid.

60+ NGOs: "We appreciate the bipartisan recognition that supplemental humanitarian assistance is necessary and prudent."

[Prosper Global @ProsperGlb_org]

@MercyCorps and 60 other NGOs welcome the more than $10 billion in humanitarian assistance included in the Senate’s supplemental package & urge all members of Congress to support this urgently needed funding to address global humanitarian needs.
