A bright light in a dark moment: The price of the critical TB drug bedaquiline has now dropped to $90 per adult treatment course for TB, a 54% reduction since just 2023. This is a huge win for @tbfighters.org and the TB activism community generally. www.stoptb.org/what-we-do/f... (1/2)...

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order. TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)

What’s his beef against USAID in particu….oh. Wow.

@elonmusk
We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper.

Could gone to some great parties.

Did that instead.

U.S. policy was to help bring an end to apartheid and establish a nonracial, democratic government. In response to this policy and the Act, USAID/South Africa was responsible for financing projects that apartheid victims viewed as critical in promoting social, political, and economic change through peaceful means.

The mission enabled community consultation and ensured that the United States did not impose foreign-defined solutions to local problems. USAID created projects and activities to respond to the priorities of the black community and its leaders, maximized black participation and leadership, and ensured activities had a linkage to the general objectives of U.S. policy.

First-year funding for the program was $25 million, which was raised to $50 million the second year. The main project areas were community outreach and leadership development to redress the repression of black-led institutions; educational support and training to address the educational crisis in South Africa; black private enterprise development to combat the inhibiting effects of apartheid–induced discrimination in private enterprise; university grants to help create a new generation of economic and political leaders; human rights; legal assistance; labor union training; and health and nutrition

USAID being unlawfully dismantled. DOGE member has closed HQ. New tranche of workers cut off email. Staff tell me, "It is frightening being inside USAID right now. Our checks and balances failed. Congress has abdicated its responsibilities.” And Sec. Rubio has abdicated his.
