  Amid its slash-&-burn campaign against our diplomatic tools & agencies, the WH fired nonpartisan members of the State Department's Historical Advisory Committee without cause. Congress established HAC & its composition is determined by statute. Those improperly terminated should be reinstated.

    🆘 The White House terminated the entire staff of the State Dept.'s Historical Advisory Committee this evening. This threatens the integrity of the declassification of foreign policy records, the objectivity of our historical accounts, and undermines current and future policy makers.

  The Trump administration smeared VOA and USAGM as radical and biased to justify gutting it. Now Kari Lake wants to repurpose VOA as a megaphone for OAN—a far-right, pro-Trump propaganda outlet. VOA was built to fight propaganda—not broadcast it. www.npr.org/2025/05/07/n...
  

  Kari Lake says OAN's far-right coverage will fuel Voice of America

  Senior presidential adviser Kari Lake says Voice of America will rely on coverage from the far-right OAN network. OAN has offered unwavering support of President Trump.

  RM @meeks.house.gov: Good to see State finally do the right thing after DOGE threw the lives of dozens of pregnant/postpartum women in USAID FSO families into limbo. I raised this with Rubio directly—but it shouldn’t take personal asks for his agencies to treat their people right.
  

  After pregnant USAID workers’ pleas, State Department postpones layoff dates

  The change will extend employees’ health insurance and will particularly help workers whose due dates, or those of a pregnant spouse, were close to a July layoff date.
