On Friday, @StateDeptGHSD released its first wave of PEPFAR data, covering July-Sept 2025, after State took over USAID’s lifesaving health programs. Contrary to false media narratives, the data shows that President Trump’s foreign assistance review maintained and improved frontline lifesaving programs, while reducing NGO bloat and costs. During this transition period; - 20.6 million people w/ HIV received PEPFAR-supported antiretroviral treatment, exactly as many as during Biden’s last year - Early progress towards @SecRubio’s ambitious goal of ending mother-to-child transmission of HIV during @POTUS Trump’s second term, with preventive treatment initiated for 103k expectant/breastfeeding mothers, more than 2x as many as the same period a year earlier - Good initial progress moving programs, particularly in the treatment and testing space, to national health ministries as we champion self-reliance among health assistance countries This is all before the transformational investments in global health innovation and self-reliance made via the America First Global Health Strategy. Launched in Sept 2025, we have already signed 31 bilateral compacts worth more than $21 billion in U.S. commitments and country co-investment, and announced historic new innovation initiatives like our partnership with Gilead Sciences to get 3 million people in high-burden countries its new 99.9% effective twice yearly HIV prevention drug Lenacapavir. state.gov/releases/offic…

🚨 THIS IS INSANE. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's sons could be making 3 to 5x returns on every dollar they spent buying tariff refund rights. Cantor Fitzgerald, now run by Lutnick's sons Brandon and Kyle, was buying tariff refund claims from companies at 20 to 30 cents on the dollar. The firm told clients it had "capacity to trade up to several hundred million" in these claims. They confirmed at least one $10 million trade was already executed as of July 2025. They said they expected that number to "balloon in the coming weeks." That was 9 months ago. Today those claims are worth 100 cents on the dollar. The refund portal is live, $166 billion in refunds are being processed. If Cantor bought $100 million in refund rights at 25 cents on the dollar, they spent $25 million. They now collect $100 million from the government. That is a $75 million profit. A 300% return. If they scaled to "several hundred million" as they told clients they could, the profits run into the hundreds of millions. Howard Lutnick was the architect of the tariff policy. He pushed Trump to impose them. He fought against officials who wanted to limit them. Then he left Cantor Fitzgerald to his sons and transferred his equity into a trust benefiting them. Tax free under government ethics rules. He received $360 million from the buyout. His sons positioned the firm to profit from the exact policy their father built. Their father publicly championed tariffs he knew could be struck down while his sons were buying refund claims betting they would be.
