Oxfam demands that the pause on humanitarian aid be reversed immediately and permanently, and that lifesaving USAID programs around the world be allowed to go forward with proper resourcing.

The state of play, a week into Elon's assault on USAID. USAID is in a state of suspended animation - it has been powered down, but it's not *quite* to the point where it can't be powered back on. What happens next comes down to the courts & Congress. đź§µ

This “facts on the ground” strategy is designed to make you give up. Don’t fall for it. USAID is a federal agency that saves lives and fights poverty until Congress says it isn’t.

Breaking: Oxfam America is joining the lawsuit to block the Trump admin's assault on humanitarian aid. The attack on foreign assistance and USAID is an illegal & unconstitutional action that exacerbates humanitarian crises & will have life or death consequences for millions.

1/4 Today’s US draft UN Security Council Resolution on #Ukraine fails to acknowledge Russia’s invasion or the importance of the UN Charter’s prohibition on aggressive war. Oxfam calls on Member States to forcefully reject it. 🧵

The Trump admin is using its power in the Security Council to rewrite the history of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The United States should be promoting peace and security at the UN, not bullying others into erasing the most basic rules of international law.

Pres Biden introduced NSM-20 & failed to meet his own standard. Now Pres Trump removes even the pretense of considering civilian protection & humanitarian aid in arms sales. We must do better: US arms should never undermine international humanitarian law or block life-saving aid.

This week, I met with some Alaskan USAID employees. They not only informed me of the confusing and callous handling of personnel matters by OPM and DOGE, but they also painted an incredibly troubling picture of what the world looks like without humanitarian assistance from the

A year ago, the Houthi authorities in #Yemen arbitrarily detained dozens of our colleagues. Others have been held since 2021. Nothing can justify their ordeal, or the ordeal of their families. oxfam.org/en/press-relea…

Remarkable that CNN is repeatedly promoting Israel-Iran analysis from its paid contributor Brett McGurk, the former Biden Middle East advisor. McGurk shaped policy in the region under 4 presidents–a period of near-constant crisis + US mistakes. He was.. huffpost.com/entry/mcgurk-b…
