A program that’s saved 25 million lives is at risk of losing its congressional authorization for the first time.

      I left Reddit for Lemmy a month ago.

      The comments in politics communities around here do not live up to Reddit’s yet. Close sometimes.

      This comment is the first time I’ve actually laughed. Brilliant. I actually went at read the article just because of this comment. Cheers.

          It wasn’t a play on words. PEPFAR had bipartisan support until recent months when heritage foundation decided to target it for made-up abortion fears. It was truly keeping it real by just being a health benefit program for countries that needed help fighting aids and it has saved millions of lives. But 20 years later in today’s political climate it is somehow controversial.

              About as accurate as detecting if something was written by AI I’m afraid.

              I would have to ask @witchesvspatriarchy if it actually works. I’ve read a lot of negative results but have no verified positive result. The pre-eighteenth century witch studies lacked serious controls.

                Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
