Yesterday, Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressional mandated. They've saved millions of lives.

Rate proposed Community Notes

1. All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.

Why is USAID needed to protect against Malaria. Why haven't these countries stepped up their own prevention???

Bro what prevents these countries from developing their own countermeasures against a disease endemic to their society for millennia? Why do we have to pay for this?

Not my problem.

That's not our job. I would prefer 53 million blankets for our vets.

The Galaxy's Shortest Wookie

UN or WHO should be providing that.

Good shouldn't have been used as a criminal enterprise

@noetic_healing

Not Americas responsibility

Good. Their own governments can supply these drugs. We're 36 trillion in debt.

The rest of the world should be able to protect their own people from these diseases. It is not up to the United States to do so.

Talk to your philanthropist buddy Bill Gates. He can fund this

Were you the merchant for these supplies, nos your sales is down? Which country?

These Foreign Aid programs increase poverty in United States with zero benefits to US Citizen Taxpayers. The NGO laundromat is closed!

While I don't disagree that those 53 million people need help. Why should the US spend the money to protect those 53 million people when there are millions domestically that could use the help? I don't understand why keeping our country first is controversial.

@ShiftDaOverton

Good, doesn't benefit Americans. America tax dollars should be only for Americans.

OUR money stays here! No foreign aid until all of Americas are taken care of.

@CaseyPhillips1

Send them plans for a bed net factory those are pretty critical.

NYC & LA + Capri

Hello there. I’ve been to Africa many times - Africans use those nets to fish not to protect children. As you know less than 10% of USAID’s funds help people in need. Stop with the emotional blackmail.

Why does the USA have to fund Malaria? Why can’t those countries which are much older than ours fund themselves? It’s almost as if THE USA is just enabling every country to do poorly and not take care of their own people. We are not enabling this crap anymore. Countries need to

Use some of the money you stole, pig.

did the right thing. These programs should never have been funded. Foreign countries are responsible for their own people, just like the U.S. is for its own. They collect taxes from their citizens and businesses—there’s no reason U.S. money should be sent abroad.

They cannot claim to be the party of life.

@American72Great

The

should step up!

Not our problem

Where?

Those can be provided by the governments of the countries of the people that need them.

Logic and Decency

We don’t care

@Shannoncreech74

How many of those 53 million are US citizens?

Paul James Crook

@PaulJamesCrook

Why still buying mosquito nets from poorly structured and worse value for money supply chains after all these years? Look deeper at the manner elements of work have generated jobs in lower income places making nets, the transfer of skills and the use of capital to do development

Many of the countries due to receive help never get the help. The money is laundered.

@kidcudi74809969

Why are my tax dollars going to this I want to help the people with diseases here not abroad. Their country can help their own people if it’s that big of a problem.

$36T in debt

keithamccluskey@gmail.com

@keithamccluske1

The problem is w the process of the money trail. Sending aid, dollars, downstream, the people getting it don’t have to distribute the bulk of it. They can buy 12 truckloads of flour and then pocket the majority of the funding left. There is no accountability.

People dying from malaria and HIV around the world isn't our fucking problem.

All in Christ Jesus use all their blood, spirits, souls, lives, love and decree no form of blood, plasma diseases manifest, be in Elise Oyinkromeineifa, all the babies Yahweh put in her even 0.1%, past, present, future invoking the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth for all ages

@MatthewGib61419

Looks like the moochers need to step up not the us tax payers problem. India can easily cover all those needs they are completely capable

All great news.

Sounds ds like a local government problem. Not us taxpayers.

@EBWoodArtisans

Ivermectin cures malaria Send ivermectin

So the US supplies all the malaria drugs to the world? We fund that? What about their governments?

RIKKI - TIKKI - TAVI

Let their own governments pay for that.

Malaria treatment, would that be the pharmaceuticals of America testing drugs on third world country peoples for safety, not caring how many dies??

How many shoulder fired missiles and automatic rifles were in that shipment?

@KevinMe91626069

Malaria is not a big issue in the US.

@PatrolSpeciali1

In America? If not “So”

American citizens are at risk for getting malaria?

Looneytoonsindville

@LooneyinDallas

If those things are necessary, their parents or their own governments should provide them. Local governments turn our aid into guns and use them against us!

@Marilyns321689S

Not our problem. Let those wicked dictatorships pay for their own people’s health. We are DONE!

@StyleStagedSold

Why is this Americas job??? It isn't. Let someone else pick up the tab

@defundukraine76

Fantastic

USAID is full of corruption. Sorry.

Redbeard the Cynical

This is complete bs,

was just on

explaining how nothing that actually helps people will be cut , but I’m sure you’ll ignore this.

THEIR OWN COUNTRY HAS THE MONEY.

@AJAlexander2012

None of which advance US interests. None of which are for the American citizens.

Are they American children?

We don't have malaria in the US so I'm good with not funding that!
