The feud dates back to Trump’s 1st term, when the office found that the admin wrongly withheld #military #aid to #Ukraine in an inquiry that set the stage for #Democrats to #impeach #Trump.

#RussVought & Paoletta, who held the same roles at the time, denied the charges. In a 2021 letter to #Congress, the 2 men faulted the #GAO for taking an “over-expansive & incorrect view of Congress’s #power of the purse, which infringes upon the president’s own constitutional authorities.”

The world must act against the genocide

Gaza’s Civil Defence spokesperson Mahmoud Basil is on hunger strike to show the world that Palestinians in the besieged enclave “have the right to life”.

“Our children are starving to death. All we ask is for humanitarian aid to be delivered, without any restriction or conditions,” he said, adding that the Israel- and US-backed GHF has weaponised food, with aid seekers flocking to its sites and then leaving in body bags

Between May 27 and July 21, Israeli forces killed 1,054 Palestinians in Gaza while they were trying to access food, the UN Human Rights Office has said.

It said 766 of them were killed near US-and Israel-backed GHF sites and 288 were killed near UN convoys or other relief organisations.

“Palestinians in Gaza are dying of starvation or bullets of the Israeli army while trying to get food.”

2 months after a federal court temporarily blocked Trump’s freeze on billions in congressionally approved #ForeignAid, an attorney for relief orgs said the govt had taken “literally zero steps to allocate this money.”

Judge Amir Ali, a Biden appointee, has ordered the admin to explain what it is doing to comply w/the order. #Trump ofcls have said they will eventually release the funds, but #aid groups worry the admin is simply trying to delay until the allocations expire in the fall.

Per @devex : #US charitable giving to international causes reached more than $35 billion last year — potentially setting it on course to eclipse the US government — or any other government for that matter — as the world’s most important source of #aid funding

"In July, #research published in The Lancet medical journal found that the US funding cuts towards foreign humanitarian #aid could cause more than 14 million additional deaths by 2030, with a third of those at risk of premature deaths being #children. Davide Rasella, who co-authored the report, said low- & middle-income countries were facing a shock 'comparable in scale to a global pandemic or a major armed conflict'."

"A UK government-funded study shows that without concerted action, increased rates of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) could lead to global annual GDP losses of $1.7tn over the next quarter of a century... On Thursday, the UK government announced it was axing funding for the Fleming fund, which combats AMR in low- & middle-income countries, as part of wider #aid cuts. The #Trump administration has confirmed $9bn in cuts to its foreign aid budget..."
