#Freedom250: We honor Katherine Johnson! A gifted NASA mathematician, she calculated the precise orbital paths that sent the first Americans into space and to the moon. Her brilliance helped the U.S. win the space race and expanded our understanding of the stars. #USinBurundi Photo via Wikimedia Commons| Bill Ingalls

A pleasure, as always, to meet with Amb. @ChibambaKanyam and discuss @AnzanaElectric’s progress in Powering African Opportunity in Zambia along the #LobitoCorridor, including our new collaboration with @FqmZambia
Chibamba Kanyama@ChibambaKanyam

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of hosting Danae Pauli from Anzana Electrical at the Embassy. Danae reaffirmed the company's commitment to its expansion projects in Zambia, highlighting the important strides Anzana Electrical is making in the region. We are also excited to share that Anzana Electric Group yesterday announced a partnership with First Quantum Minerals to develop up to 50 MW of baseload hydropower in Zambia. This collaboration not only signifies a significant investment in sustainable energy but also demonstrates the potential for growth and innovation within the Zambian energy sector. We look forward to seeing the positive impact of these initiatives!

Great to see the progress of @WezaPower, an @AnzanaElectric company, toward bringing electricity to 70% of the Burundian population, highlighted with the @US_Emb_Burundi visit today!
U.S. Embassy Bujumbura@US_Emb_Burundi

Today, Ambassador Higgins visited @WezaPower in Bujumbura to see firsthand how this American company is helping power #Burundi's future — working to expand electricity access from 12% to 70% of the population nationwide. 🔴During the visit, Ambassador Higgins toured the facilities, met with the Weza team, and spoke with local journalists to underscore U.S. Government support—which in the case of Weza included a $3.1 million U.S. government grant for a pilot project—for American businesses investing in Burundi. 📌Weza plans to raise $1.4 billion in private sector investment to create 2,000 jobs, launch a new training center for young professionals, and bring reliable energy to rural communities — opening doors for businesses, schools, and families to thrive. 💡American companies like Weza Power are driving innovation, creating opportunity, and contributing to sustainable growth across Burundi. The U.S. Embassy is proud to support their work. The future is bright — and it's being built together. #USBurundi dfc.gov/media/press-re…

Ambassador Melanie Higgins, Chargé d’Affaires of the U.S. Embassy in Bujumbura, met with Chris Showalter, CEO of Lifezone Metals (@LifezoneMetals), to discuss proposed plans for joint U.S. – Burundi development of the Musongati nickel deposit.  The U.S. is working to secure critical mineral supply chains that strengthen U.S. economic security, while also bolstering our economic ties with Burundi.  #USinBurundi

The Trump Administration supports the Lobito Corridor Project. It is an investment that the United States remains committed to. It is an investment that the United States feels is very important. It continues to support the Administration's priority of making America safer, stronger, and more prosperous. -  @StateDept Deputy Spokesperson Mignon Houston

Important: A *Republican* Congressman, Austin Scott, just wrote to Marco Rubio urging him to address the problems I reported on below that are putting lifesaving treatment for severely malnourished children abroad at risk. He joins Dem Rep Seth Magaziner. Horrific stuff:

Awful news --> Delivery of therapeutic food assistance to nearly 400,000 severely malnourished kids is suddenly in doubt due to Trump-Musk firings at USAID, two manufacturers of the product tell me. "Starving children are waiting," one says. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/191935…

Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here’s how we would’ve spent that $$: 🏈Protected 30M football fields of tropical forest in Africa to stop China from exploiting the minerals that fuel our world youtu.be/PqUESHfuO_8 #saveforeignaid

Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is threatening to unseat elected officials if they do not follow his orders to shut down the government during the holidays. Are we still a democracy or have we already moved to oligarchy and authoritarianism?

I will do all that I can to see that President Biden is re-elected. Why? Despite my disagreements with him, he has been the most effective president in the modern history of our country and is the strongest candidate to defeat Donald Trump — a demagogue and pathological liar.

I also met the newly formed Angola Steering Committee for the Zambia-Lobito rail. This greenfield rail project, a first for the U.S. in Africa, is key to building an open access transcontinental rail network & to unlocking the full potential of the flagship PGI economic corridor.

It was a big week for my PGI work! I participated in the U.S.-Angola Energy Security Dialogue—the fourth ever and the first since 2016–to advance our collaboration on developing clean energy and clean energy supply chains in the Lobito Corridor.

If I may, there’s something I need to get off my chest. As democracy remains under siege, it has been frustrating to watch how the press covers politics these days. I am reminded by lessons that came to me during the Nixon years as a CBS News correspondent, which I’ll add here: 1. Enough with Both-sides-ism When one side lies intentionally and repeatedly, they are no longer entitled to the benefit of the doubt. They should be held to account, right away. Do not simply repeat the narratives they spew. 2. Prioritize Live Fact-Checking Rigorous and robust fact-checking is the best defense against misinformation, intentional lies, and deflection. If Trump says the sky is green, the story isn’t that the sky is now green; the story is that the sky is still blue and Trump got it wrong. 3. Ask Lawmakers Hard Questions Ask about the fundamental principles of democracy. Push them to go on the record that Biden won the 2020 election. Ask if they support the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. This writing is not to offer any claim of knowing it all. Your correspondent has made his share of mistakes, but after more than seven decades I believe I have picked up a few useful guideposts. Good journalism is always worth it. Our democracy depends on it. ↓ For the rest of my list, please see my the latest post of my independent newsletter – the link is in my Twitter biography.
