⏱️ #CoC: Story time is part of many childrens' daily routine! 📚 But, what do you do when your service member isn’t there? @UTR4Military keeps #militaryfamilies reading, no matter the distance. Get started at utrapp.org.

Thread follows from my wonderful week at @USGLC’s #GlobalImpactForum2023
#Global is often twisted pejoratively — that does a disservice to the #NationalSecurity, #EconomicSecurity & American jobs robust #InternationalAffairs leadership & investment bring to our nation. 🧵1/x – at Washington, DC
And why I was thrilled once again to join my friends and colleagues at #USGLC’s 2023 #GlobalImpactForum for a day of impactful panel discussions and fellowship, followed by a day of #CapitolHill visits to our Congressional delegations. 🧵3/x
It was a privilege to listen and share w/Rep. @MarcVeasey, & w/staffs of @JohnCornyn, @RepMcCaul & @RepColinAllred. These bipartisan leaders get it that leading w/#Diplomacy, alongside #Development and #Defense, multiply this ~1% of the total federal budget investment >16x! 🧵4/x

"It's not charity, it's not just development for development's sake," it's about the connection between development, our allies, and our security, says @chairmang of how he looks at our development work. #GIF2023
Great start to @USGLC’s #GlobalImpactForum with #Veterans breakfast panel reminding all that leading with #Diplomacy avoids conflict, benefits economically, and saves lives💯🇺🇸🫡💪🏼
