Really happy to teach a session of the @dukesanford.bsky.social Policy Analysis for Development course @hpostel.bsky.social today for some really accomplished masters students. One thing is clear, @USAID may be destroyed but the hunger for development is not going away.

Even in our small town of Bennington 500-750 people came out for No Kings

Bill Gates is correct: #USAID staff are heroic! Shame on you @elonnmusk.bsky.social

Very pleased to discuss the blitzkrieg attack on the entire international development ecosystem of the United States yesterday at the Center for Development Economics at Williams College. Did you know that 94% of all #USAID spending in the last six years was audited and only 0.3% had issues?

The blitzkrieg is almost complete. The #USAID name is coming off the building, staff are being recalled from around the world, programs are being abruptly cancelled leaving millions at risk, and the PRC is joyous over this folly.
