Our friend Terrisa Bukovinac is back on Dear Jane this week! She shares updates on Justice For The Five, the heartbreaking discovery of five full-term children aborted and discarded in Washington D.C. We dive into her experience running for president in 2024 and how she spotlighted the harsh realities of abortion in ads nationwide. Terrisa also shares the powerful moment when her colleagues were pardoned after being imprisoned for peaceful protests at abortion clinics and how they are doing today. We had so much to catch up on with Terrisa—you won't want to miss this episode of Dear Jane!

As Elon Musk and the DOGE team dig into government spending, USAID is coming under intense scrutiny for how it uses taxpayer dollars.

Through financial “incentives,” USAID pressures nations to comply with its agenda, raising serious questions about whether this is truly about aid or influence and control. Tune in as we discuss the influence USAID wields and the real impact of its spending.
