Elon’s biggest foreign market? China. Who gains the most from a dissolution of USAID? China. Since when is it acceptable for a private citizen beholden to the CCP to take control of US foreign assistance, access classified intel, & fire the employees protecting sensitive info?.
SCOOP: John Voorhees, USAID’s director of security, has been placed on administrative leave after refusing to allow officials from the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, access to the agency’s sensitive compartmented information facility. ⤵️.

Trump’s tariffs are a 25% tax on your LA tacos.

This year, Black History Month falls as "anti-DEI" radicals rehash the same racist tropes & try to erase our history. This month and every month, let's uplift the Black creatives, businesspeople, leaders, & families who have always enriched the history & fabric of our nation.

Our voice is your voice. And Donald Trump is trying to silence your voice and steal your hard-earned money through his federal funding freeze.

Donald Trump's federal funding freeze would cut vital funding for food programs at a time when 1 in 4 Angelenos are food insecure & 62% of our children rely on free school meals. Join community partners & I as we speak the truth about the human impact of these reckless policies.

Trump’s “waivers” for lifesaving assistance are a hoax. ZERO instruction has gone out for how humanitarian aid distributors can get approval to continue their work. @SecState are you in charge over there? Lives are on the line. Where’s the guidance?.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a waiver for life-saving humanitarian assistance during a 90-day pause in foreign aid while Washington undertakes a review, according to a State Department memo seen by @Reuters

We’re still recovering bodies and learning the victims’ names. Meanwhile, Trump is scapegoating minorities & performing political theater? . The only “DEI hires” are part of Trump’s grossly unqualified, incompetent administration. Shame on you—do better for the 67 souls we lost.
Insanity — Trump signs an order blaming Biden and DEI for flight dangers

I’m heartbroken by last night’s horrific plane crash in Washington, DC. My prayers are with all who are grieving today. I’m grateful to the first responders who worked tirelessly through the night to respond to this tragedy & bring families closure.

What happened? Trump took an L. His first big one. But he’s still determined to freeze funding for affordable health care, child care, food assistance, housing benefits, & much more. @PressSec made that clear. We’ve won the battle for now but must keep fighting.
Do I have this right? What am I missing? Sincere question. White House -->. Monday: OMB memo will implement full federal pause on grants, including *but not limited to* those that violate Trump EOs on DEI/clean energy/trans-related programs. Tuesday: White House issues Q&A saying.

🧵I'll keep it real—it's still unclear what exactly would be impacted by Trump's harmful and reckless federal money freeze. But we do know it caused chaos across government yesterday, even prompting an emergency court ruling blocking the freeze until at least February 3.

Let's be clear: withholding federal funding to provide Americans with affordable healthcare, education and care for our children, access to healthy food, and housing assistance isn't just morally wrong—it's unconstitutional.

Here's a civics lesson, Donald: Congress has the power of the purse, not you. You can't bully Congress out of our Constitutional authority—@HouseDemocrats will not allow you to cut or withhold funding for these vital programs.

I am deeply alarmed by M23’s capture of Goma in DRC and condemn the rebel groups’ blocking of humanitarian access. Continued Rwandan support to the M23 is unacceptable. I urge all parties to restart talks and recommit to the existing ceasefire agreement.

Medicaid’s payment system went down in all 50 states. Head Start’s payment system went down in California and many other states. Enough with the gaslighting.
New: Trump admin says the following programs will not be affected by the funding freeze: Medicaid, SNAP, small business $, farm $, Pell grants, Head Start, rental assistance, and other similar programs, per senior admin official.

Trump’s foreign aid freeze is a gross abandonment of our own interests, a day-one gift to our competitors, and a devastating blow to the world’s most vulnerable populations. See my full statement:.
