Political Quotes

“I rise today for the 27th time to call on the Trump administration to restore funding for lifesaving food aid for malnourished children. According to data compiled by Boston University, more than 70,000 children--children--have died this year because the Trump administration has frozen food aid that had been delivered by this country for years prior. This is the real-time human cost of inaction. Again, the Trump administration has said that they are going to restore this aid. They have been saying it for months. Marco Rubio said it. Elon Musk said it when he was still at the administration. They haven't done it. A month ago, they said that they were going to issue an RFP now and get this aid moving again. The RFP was issued. Nonprofit organizations, including Edesia Nutrition, have responded to it. The administration has been sitting on it for a month. What are they waiting for? Every day that they fail to act is a day that children die. They need to keep their word. Restore this aid.”
