What just happened in Brussels at the GAVI Summit is NOT how America wins in the world! It makes no sense for 🇺🇸 to stop supporting @GAVI, one of - it not the most - cost effective/proven models of saving lives and stopping health threats before they reach our shores! The world's…
This vote 👇 is a gift to America’s rivals who are seeking to replace 🇺🇸 on 🌎 stage. International assistance not only saves lives around the world, but expands U.S. influence, grows markets for our businesses, and stops threats from reaching our shores npr.org/2025/07/17/nx-…

Thank you @lisamurkowski for your leadership in voting no on this dangerous rescission package and speaking out on the critical role of international assistance and global health delivers for the American people.
Alaska Senator @LisaMurkowski says she’ll vote no to move fwd w/ rescissions because she’s worried about negative impact to critical international assistance programs from lifesaving care, to global health, to pandemic prevention, to vital services for women and children abroad.
Cutting diplomats is penny wise but pound foolish. My old boss, SECDEF Bob Gates, used to point out that DOD has more people in military bands than the number of foreign service officers. They punch above their weight and deserve better than this. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

Spoke with the @USGLC about the growing threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party, and the need for growing American influence worldwide. Beijing wants to isolate us and make us captive to their interests—not ours. And, we cannot let this happen.

Richard was truly a class act - in and out of the briefing room at the State Department. Truly the consummate diplomat who made our country safer, stronger, and better by his work. The entire @USGLC community joins me as our hearts go out to his family, especially Carolyn, who…
Just hearing news that Richard Boucher, a three-time @StateDept spokesman, consummate communications professional, and diplomat, has died at 73. Spokesman for Secretaries Baker, Albright and Powell and Counsel General in Hong Kong during the handover, he was a mentor to many and…
On today’s @MeetThePress, @ZohranKMamdani repeatedly refused to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” despite @kwelkernbc rightly saying the phrase is viewed as a call to violence against Jews. Mr. Mamdani would only say today that it’s not language that he uses and that…
.@kwelkernbc to Mamdani: Do you condemn that phrase, Globalize the Intifada? But do you actually condemn it..which a lot of people hear as a call to violence against Jews? For the people who .. feel really concerned by that phrase, why not just condemn it? Mamdani’s reply ⬇️
Today, world leaders reaffirmed their commitment to protecting children from vaccine-preventable diseases, raising $9 billion for @gavi. This reflects strong global confidence in vaccines as one of the most effective investments in global health. As a founding partner, the…
It's not too late to change course.
Happening now at the Senate Approps hearing on rescissions: @SenatorCollins (R-ME) says PEPFAR "remains a bipartisan priority of Congress" and emphasizes that cutting "funding aimed at preventing disease transmission would be extraordinarily ill-advised and short-sighted."
Thank you @AppropsGOP Chair @SusanCollins for your leadership at yesterday's hearing on the rescissions package - raising concerns about canceling funds just approved by Congress, including critical global health programs + warning against cuts: "PEPFAR has saved more than 26…
In @WSJ, @KarlRove sites @ReaganInstitute's latest poll in op-ed "The MAGA Isolationist Mirage." He walks through the #s showing how Trumps base and broader American public "by a huge margin, they want their country to be engaged in the world and to lead. They believe that is…
Great news to see that FEWS NET, once USAID’s flagship famine warning system, is back online @StateDept. Bringing back these effective, critical programs that deliver for the American people is how America wins. devex.com/news/fews-net-…
As OMB Director Vought testifies today before @AppropsGOP @SenateApprops to defend why Congress should cancel funding that they approved in March-a rescissions package that would eliminate critical international assistance, read this smart op-ed by former Sen. @normcoleman…
