Our estimates of child deaths from your funding cuts/freeze, Secretary Marco Rubio, are accurate based on available info. Share what activities and partners are being funded now and ahead, and we’ll update the death toll. Senator Jeff Merkley Bernie Sanders The New York Times devex.com/news/death-ref…

The fact that the global aid cuts aren't causing constant outrage in the media, from the pro life right, from medical orgs etc is truly numbing. impactcounter.com/dashboard?view…

For the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending... or for the opportunity to abruptly halt aid resulting in tens of thousands of avoidable deaths of children and adults around the world? Let's make sure the world doesn't forget your impact. impactcounter.com/dashboard?view…

Dr Brooke Nichols Boston University School of Public Health has estimated that Musk's cuts at USAID have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year.

How do they get away with this? The bill they passed cuts Medicaid by $793 BILLION. $793 BILLION. It's in the bill. They wrote it. Their own budget office says 10 million people will lose Medicaid coverage. Just wild.

STAGGERING: This new study of 133 countries is the first to estimate the impact of all USAID’s work. In 2 decades, it saved *92M* lives. Current cuts, if not reversed, are forecast to cost *14M* lives thru 2030. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

A bill that will absolutely make sure that the health of Americans will only worsen. Truly horrifying. nytimes.com/live/2025/07/0…

According to Brooke Nichols at #IAS2025, self-test-based PrEP continuation could offset the costs of bespoke programming for groups like MSM and female sex workers, allowing services to be maintained even amid funding cuts.
