If you have to keep asking, begging, pleading for an award you don’t deserve it….How bout a Darwin Award?
Dangerous, short-sighted, misguided reduction in staff. Yet another step in ceding the ground to our adversaries.
Today's purging of State Dept. employees is a blow to our global influence. The impact will echo for years. We stand with the workforce & those who know that professional, non-partisan diplomacy isn't expendable. We won't stop fighting to defend it.

The State Department’s plan to cut 2,000 positions, including 700 seasoned diplomats, puts our national security at risk. NSL4A urges Congress to act before lasting harm is done.

We continue to cede the field to China and make ourself irrelevant.
AAD member Ambasssador J. Brian Atwood discusses the Trump Administration's Africa policy and recent cuts to USAID. He writes, "Cutting aid to Africa, eliminating trade access to U.S. markets and taxing remittances is a triple whammy for African nations." thehill.com/opinion/internat…

As the world burns, sidelining diplomacy is a losing strategy.
The State Dept. plans to cut 15% of staff—on top of talent already lost. Reckless policies threaten America’s global leadership.

NSL4A is calling for Congressional oversight following the Qatari “gift” of a new Air Force One. We believe this raises serious operational security concerns.

May his memory be a blessing. Rest well and thank you for your generosity.
A great tree has fallen in the forest of philanthropy: Barry Segal, founder of Segal Philanthropies, has passed away.
Barry lived a purposeful 90 years, building Bradco Supply and then dedicating himself to philanthropy.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t about security. This administration is trying to punish us for defending the Foreign Service, for pushing back on reckless personnel policies, and for daring to speak out.

The experts who make sure our drugs are safe, review clinical trials, and track diseases and pandemics were shown the door yesterday by Trump’s unqualified HHS Secretary. This puts the health of every American in greater danger. apnews.com/article/health-hu…

On the very day a tragic earthquake struck Myanmar & Thailand, USAID employees received an email ending their employment. Dismantling an agency dedicated to advancing U.S. interests & aiding those in need at a moment like this is reckless.

AAD member Ambassador Pamela White reflects on her time in the Foreign Service. She said, "USAID represents the very best of us... It is a beacon of hope and respect to all. Close it down and we are all a lot less safe. And millions will die." pressherald.com/2025/02/24/o…

Please read - the dismissal of top military officials without just cause sets dangerous precedent and weakens our national security.
We strongly condemn the removal of senior military officers without just cause. Our military depends on maintaining a professional and apolitical force. Removing experienced leaders weakens the force & emboldens our enemies.
