“We’ve worked in autocratic regimes our whole life. Keeping your head down doesn’t work,” says Drew Sullivan, co-founder of @occrp.org, an international nonprofit news outlet and network of investigative journalists. “You have to fight these things when they’re unfair, when they’re illegal, and you have to fight them aggressively."

He talked to Nieman Lab's Hanaa' Tameez about his organization's decision to sue the Trump administration, challenging the legality of Donald Trump's executive order to freeze international aid funding.

3M FOREIGN CHILDREN WILL BE DEAD.

3 weeks ago the Trump admin CXL all of its upcoming orders -everything beyond those old orders that were previously reinstated.

The admin hasn't awarded sep contracts to shipping cos., leaving much of the food assured by the original reinstated contracts🚨stuck in the US.
