If you think that I want to audit any nonprofit you’re affiliated with. This is shameful stuff.
Oh please. This year alone, Trump paid $20 billion of your tax dollars to bail out Argentina and has spent hundreds of billions of dollars of our tax dollars on aid to Israel's military. I am not going to clutch my pearls about a non-profit spending $1200 per adult on a teacher development trip/training.
"The assistance includes a $20 billion currency swap agreement with Argentina's central bank. This is essentially a loan, with the U.S. Treasury exchanging dollars for Argentine pesos to help stabilize the currency."
You do know that we gave many, many swap lines during the financial crisis under Obama?... $583 billion

Great, 100k on DEI “training,” yoga and fancy dinners.
And some of you think this is OK. What garbage.

Hardly the lap of luxury to spend $100K on that. In fact, they spent just over $1K per person between airfare, hotel, food, and their training. I mean, that’s cheap.
Federal per diem is quite a bit less.

$100K for 90 people for airfare, hotels, food, and everything? That sounds shockingly responsible. It would have been helpful if the article did a comparison with how much other nonprofits spent on travel/conferences per person so that we'd know if $1000/person is out of line. But if they did that, of course there would be no story.
