Right now, our laws are forcing federal workers to make the impossible choice between caring for their families and keeping their jobs.

The good news is that we've reestablished a bipartisan principle that we should still be present in the world, that we should still alleviate suffering, that we should still provide economic assistance, that we should still respond to…

“Hoʻokahi Leo demonstrates what strong public-private partnerships can accomplish. The government provides the vision and investment; nonprofit organizations bring innovation and community expertise; and private industry helps deliver…

While I’m glad the administration is finally following the law and taking the necessary steps to provide this funding, it must also release the billions of dollars in global health funding that it continues to withhold, wasting resources…
