The Democrats absolutely need to stand up and be the ones framing the debate, and the fight against this insanity:

“Stories about average Americans being hurt by the freeze on popular domestic programs are powerful—of course we should lead with those. But stories about betraying American values and the Americans who sacrifice for our country overseas can be powerful, too.”

I did a thing to help put USAID in perspective (I know it's not with Putin but I don't think he would have power anyway).

Hope this could be used to help spread the word!

“The replacement of our constitutional system of government with the whims of an unelected private citizen is a coup. The U.S. president has no authority to cut programs created and funded by Congress, and a private citizen tapped by a president has even less standing to try anything so radical.”

“‘The Trump administration has talked about US foreign aid as a transactional tool, that we will give it to countries who do what we want and not to countries who don’t. That removes a huge strategic comparative advantage that we have vis-a-vis China. When it is so baldly extractive, it almost feels like extortion.’”
