This year, the Trump administration, along with Elon Musk, now worth about $500 billion, decided to shutter the world’s largest provider of lifesaving humanitarian aid. These are the stories of Oxfam’s local partners on what happened in the aftermath. www.oxfamamerica.org/explore/issu...

The Trump Administration is prioritizing billionaire wealth over the lives of millions around the world, who will now be pushed even deeper into poverty. This is an inequality crisis.

Today's fun fact: The Trump Administration's cuts to humanitarian and development aid are HALF of what they gave the ultra-wealthy in the One Big Beautiful Bill. Quite literally giving handouts to the world's richest while cutting from the world's poorest: www.oxfamamerica.org/press/just-o...
Just one year of tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy amounts to twice as much as Trump administration’s cuts to humanitarian and development aid, Oxfam analysis finds
President Trump and Republicans in Congress are working to slash $31.7 billion in foreign aid spending. Meanwhile, the ultra-wealthy are set to receive roughly twice that amount—$60.3 billion—in just ...

The famine in Gaza Governorate is entirely driven by Israel’s near-total blockade on food and vital aid, the horrifying consequence of Israel’s violence, and its use of starvation as a weapon of war. 1/4

The Trump admin just ordered emergency food aid to be burned—even after Marco Rubio testified it wouldn’t happen. That food could have fed 1.5 million children for a week. This is the cruel consequence of dismantling USAID and ending lifesaving assistance. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

When the Trump admin slashed humanitarian aid programs, it claimed broad support from the American people. We investigated this claim & what we learned was clear: The American public rejects Trump’s extreme cuts to lifesaving & development aid.

President Trump's tax bill is a historic act of cruelty that showers the ultra-rich in tax handouts while taking food and healthcare away from ordinary people. Protests show just how unpopular this bill really is while Congress and the president cater to billionaires.

Today, rather than investing in workers and families, Senate Republicans passed a destructive tax bill that would leave millions hungry and without healthcare.
Lawmakers need to ask themselves: how many people are you willing to harm to pad the pockets of billionaires?

On #TaxDay, we kicked off our tax the ultra-rich yacht tour in Augusta, Maine to call on policymakers to fix our broken tax system and protect vital programs like Medicaid and SNAP. Fight inequality, tax the ultra-rich.
