A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
Q. With what the Germans, Japanese and Italians are trying to do to the democracies of the world — especially our United States — do you really mean you would permit your children to number among their friends any Germans, Japanese or Italians?
A. I certainly do. How are we going to live in peace in the world of the future if we cannot be friends ourselves with Germans, Japanese or Italians? I have friends of all those nationalities; some of them have fled their own countries because they were in disagreement with the policies of the governments of those countries. I imagine there are many people still in those countries who are suffering because they do not agree with what their governments are doing. If we take the attitude that we can never be friends with people of these nationalities, our chance for a peaceful world in the future is slim indeed!Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1942-09), “If You Ask Me,” Ladies’ Home Journal, Vol. 59More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-eleanor/83…

“I don’t believe we have the legal authority to stop an authorized payment certified by an agency,” he wrote to the group on Jan 24. #DavidLebryk, who had been a federal employee for >35 years, was pushed out of his job days later for refusing to give Krause access to the system. Late on Jan. 31, a Friday, #ScottBessent authorized entry for a team led by Krause after Lebryk’s departure.

The possibility of systems at the #Treasury’s little-known Bureau of the Fiscal Service being used to stop congressionally authorized spending has stoked alarm among #Democrats, who have called for investigations & led protests at the Treasury building.
#DavidLebryk, formerly the top career official at the Treasury, rebuffed the request to grant access & pause the #aid payments.

This marks the latest #escalation since the war in Gaza began in 2023 & heightens fears of an all-out war between the two countries, whose history of #enmity spans decades of clandestine conflicts & includes land, sea, air & cyber attacks.“ -

The emails viewed by NYT undercut #Treasury’s explanation for why Krause & his team were given access to the payment system. That system disburses >$5T in funding on behalf of much of the federal govt.
The department, now led by Secy #ScottBessent, has said that Krause, a Treasury staff member, & his team are conducting an “operational efficiency assessment” that does not involve blocking agency payments.

In a Jan 24 email to a small group of #Treasury ofcls, the chief of staff, #DanKatz, wrote that Krause & his team needed access to the system so they could pause #USAID payments & comply w/ #Trump’s Jan 20 #ExecutiveOrder to halt #ForeignAid.
“To the extent permitted by #law, we would like to implement the pause as soon as possible in order to ensure that we are doing our role to comply with the EO,” Katz wrote.
