International journalists can’t enter Gaza. But healthcare workers can.

That makes their testimony vital. They can cut through to the reality of the atrocities Israel is committing in Gaza.

In today’s video, you’ll hear their firsthand accounts of witnessing a genocide:

Several guests who attended Trump's crypto dinner last night said they attended with the explicit intent of influencing him and U.S. financial regulations.

Trump is selling access to our government to the highest bidder while lining his own pockets.

It's all out in the open.

Trump is using official trade policy to promote Musk's satellite business Starlink.

This is a glaring conflict of interest.

Government policy should be designed to benefit the American people, not abused for personal tech bro profiteering.

It is very upsetting to know that many countries are in a cycle of borrowing & public sector cuts. This #DebtCrisis threatens domestic #TB programs & undermines the ability of high-TB burden countries to invest to #EndTB.

I am appalled that on X an official US House Foreign Affairs Committee account would mock the death of #USAID & the people it supported around the 🌍 like this 👇. This is inhumane. Shame on team #MAGA.
