“Tough, but necessary. Good working with you,” purger-in-chief Elon Musk commented under Rubio’s post. “The important parts of USAID should always have been with Dept of State.”
In life, this isn’t about efficiency or savings—these are ideologically motivated cuts that will have devastating, deadly impacts throughout the world. Last week, Nicholas Elrich, a recently fired USAID official, noted that the cuts will lead to “– million cases of malaria with an additional 71,–, deaths annually,” “a 28 to 32 percent increase in tuberculosis globally,” “an additional , paralytic polio cases a year,” and in a potential worst-case scenario, over “28, cases of Ebola, Marburg, or related diseases.” His sentiments were echoed across the political landscape.
Marco Rubio said he believes that sexual preference is decided at birth, but still believes that states should be able to determine if they desire to define marriage as anything other than involving a man and a woman.

He knows exactly what he’s doing when he telegraphs his desire to allow discrimination in last week’s debate, and then tells a married lgbtq+ man to have the legislature vote on his Constitutional rights," said JoDee Winterhof, HRC’s Senior Vice President for Policy and Political Affairs. “Marco Rubio’s so-called ‘New American Century’ is one in which LGBT people are treated like second-class citizens, where they persist at risk for existence fired or denied a job because of who they are or who they love, and where they could lose the right to get married.
