Two years ago today, anyone got an update? 😅

Today we celebrated a milestone years in the making. The @valleymetro Light Rail South Central Extension is officially open! 🚊 I fought hard for this project—as a councilman, as mayor and now in Congress—because I know how transformative it’ll be for South Phoenix. The new 5.5 mile line will connect families to jobs, education, and more opportunities across the Valley.

USA led the world in expertise stopping HIV, incl preventing mother to child transmission. But DOGE has now dismissed every global prevention expert at USAID, CDC, & State Dept. The risk is insane: Resurgent HIV & 500K child deaths by 2030. nytimes.com/2025/04/08/hea…

It was really cool of Timothée Chalamet to pay tribute to Antoine Vollon's "Mound of Butter" last night.

"USAID now is not capable of deploying any kind of disaster response teams, because of the destruction is ongoing." Fmr USAID official, who led the Ebola response under President Obama, joins @brikeilarcnn to react to Musk's claims Ebola prevention efforts have been restored without interruption.

‘We’re headed for disaster’: America’s foreign aid cuts expected to devastate global health ow.ly/nHNb1060QxB

I'm hearing from experts around the world about what the destruction of USAID is meaning: "a global health massacre," in the words of a doctor who has devoted her life to humanitarian work on the front lines. Millions of malnourished children left to starve. Pregnant women not getting micronutrients to prevent neural tube defects. Programs against schistosomiasis abandoned. HIV positive patients left without ARV's. Water no longer purified. Surveillance against Ebola and bird flu set back. TB patients unable to get medicine. I've long argued that USAID should be reformed, but this Trump/Musk demolition is cruel and incompetent and benefits China, while killing children just as wonderful as our own.

Yesterday, Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressional mandated. They've saved millions of lives. 🧵

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at @USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
