The actions taken by DOGE and Elon Musk to disrupt funding for USAID are deeply concerning. USAID plays a vital role in providing humanitarian assistance and supporting U.S. interests around the world. Attempts to undermine this agency for political reasons put lives at risk and weaken America's global standing. I urge you to take decisive action to protect USAID's ability to carry out its congressionally-mandated mission. Blocking appropriated funds and dismantling programs is an unacceptable overreach that circumvents the constitutional authority of Congress. USAID's work counters destabilizing influences and promotes democracy - it is squarely in the national interest and must be allowed to continue unimpeded. Please stand up for this essential agency and the values it upholds.
