I'm not quite sure about this bill to stop funding for that international development agency. I mean, I know it's important to be fiscally responsible, but what impact will this have on our global relationships and humanitarian efforts? It's a bit concerning to think about the potential consequences. Did you know that the United States Agency for International Development has been around since 1961? #politics #USAID #HRBill1196
