$25 Child Support Minimum A Symbol Of 'Broken' NY System <https://www.law360.com/access-to-justice/articles/2273972?nl_pk=b6acf8b6-b3…> By Marco Poggio In New York City, $25 doesn’t stretch very far. And yet, New York state law mandates a minimum child support order of $25 per month, even when the noncustodial parent has little or no income. This requirement can lead to unpayable debts for indigent parents, while offering little meaningful financial support to the custodial parent, legal aid attorneys told Law360.

Death Row Case Offers Window Into Prosecutors' Gender Bias <https://www.law360.com/access-to-justice/articles/2273973?nl_pk=b6acf8b6-b3…> By Marco Poggio As she stood trial for orchestrating her estranged husband's 2001 murder, Brenda Andrew faced an uphill battle convincing an Oklahoma jury of her innocence. The evidence was stacked against her, but perhaps the most powerful weapon in the prosecutors' arsenal wasn't the evidence itself — it was their ability to portray her as a deviant, unfaithful woman who deserved to be executed. 1 document attached | Read full article » <https://www.law360.com/access-to-justice/articles/2273973?nl_pk=b6acf8b6-b3…> | Save to favorites » <https://www.law360.com/access-to-justice/articles/2273973?nl_pk=b6acf8b6-b3…>

Fwd: Nuclear Investing, No Longer Radioactive

Now, though, that sentiment has flipped completely. “Every one of the 20 has now invested in some nuclear company as a venture capitalist,” said Shah, who left the Department of Energy in January. What’s changed? For the most part, artificial intelligence and the unquenchable thirst for electricity that it creates in data centers. In the years to come, big tech companies that run those data centers will urgently need around-the-clock sources of carbon-free energy like nuclear if they’re to have any hope of meeting their climate goals. As a result, they’ve started backing an array of efforts to build more nuclear capacity (see our related story <https://e.customeriomail.com/e/c/eyJlbWFpbF9pZCI6ImRnU2kwUVlDQU8yWGxBSHNsNV…>), which has further boosted investor confidence in the category.

*Aftershock* [image: U.S. Vice President JD Vance at a panel discussion at the Munich Security Conference.] <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POrvcLq4aXQ3JuEBY7kktpbmpVUlc7vwb…> U.S. Vice President JD Vance’s bombshell speech at the Munich Security Conference, or MSC, sent tremors through global development circles <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POrvcLq4aXQ3JuEBY7kktpbmpVUlc7vwb…>, a key insider says. Ignoring Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Vance attacked European democracies, aligning with far-right narratives. At a Devex Pro event, Michael Werz, MSC’s senior adviser for North America and multilateral affairs, called it a historic moment: “There was a lot of stubbornness, a lot of attitude of *‘we’re not going to bend our knee,’*” he said — referring to conversations he overheard and discussions in development, climate, and international finance meetings that followed last Friday’s speech. Behind the scenes, *leaders scrambled to counter Vance’s stance*, discussing new alliances — possibly with South Africa, Brazil, and India — to “stabilize the global system.” One European attendee put it bluntly: “So the Americans tried to denazify the Europeans after ‘45, and *now they’re trying to renazify the Europeans* ?” Werz warned that if the USAID funding freeze continues, “we will reach a point of no return relatively quickly.” He also *called for rebranding military budgets* as “unified security budgets” to support development and security together. While some hard-line figures still dismiss development’s role in security — “they say we don't want to have a conversation with tree huggers and do-gooders” — Werz insisted they are now “a minority.” He argued for *framing issues like gender equality in economic terms*, noting most smallholder farmers ensuring food security are women. MSC, once a backroom military forum of “elderly white men smoking cigarettes,” now grapples with modern threats — climate, food security, and AI. The fallout from Vance’s speech may reshape the future of global cooperation, writes my colleague Rob Merrick. *Read:* ‘We're not going to bend our knee’— how aid leaders reacted to VP <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POrvcLq4aXQ3JuEBY7kktpbmpVUlc7vwb…>

Ambitious appeal

Ambitious appeal The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria <https://t.devex.com/Njg1LUtCTC03NjUAAAGYx15_qzFd9l2OZTY235few0UuXDY6zNV3m8G…> is *aiming to raise $18 billion to continue its critical work*. A fully funded Global Fund “could save an additional 23 million lives between 2027 and 2029.” Executive Director Peter Sands highlighted the fund’s high return on investment, stating that “for every dollar invested in the Global Fund, they expect a return of $19 in health and economic benefits.” South Africa and the United Kingdom will cohost the replenishment effort, but raising the full amount won’t be easy <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POp1mn9lW8gJ-vTpus1F37TLIkvgQud02…>, writes Devex Senior Reporter Jenny Lei Ravelo. The ask *comes amid donor fatigue and a U.S. aid funding freeze* that has already forced global health programs, including those tackling HIV, TB, and malaria, to shut down. “This would be a record breaking replenishment, which would be surprising, given reduced interest in global health from major donors,” says Pete Baker, deputy director of the global health policy program at the Center for Global Development <https://t.devex.com/Njg1LUtCTC03NjUAAAGYx15_q1O_VotomMlacJWcBLqaXdKmmT9B_qH…> . The fund also leans heavily on *U.S. support, which makes up about 30% of its funding*. “The US simultaneous retreat from aid, reproductive health and multilateralism, should be concerning for the size of its future commitment [to] the Global Fund,” Baker warns. With fundraising uncertainty ahead, the Global Fund’s ambitious goal may be a tough sell — but with millions of lives on the line, advocates say the stakes couldn’t be higher. *Read:* Global Fund launches $18B replenishment in tough fundraising landscape <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POp1mn9lW8gJ-vTpus1F37TLIkvgQud02…>

On the chopping block

*On the chopping block* U.S. President Donald Trump has signed yet another executive order <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POjbW6rOsZ37Uc-AtgCDeIveAuZUFDsa4…>, this time dismantling the Inter-American Foundation <https://t.devex.com/Njg1LUtCTC03NjUAAAGYx15_qw6kBjTpzJ2zOBD-X1F8RMva1iXxaSD…>, the U.S. African Development Foundation, and the U.S. Institute of Peace <https://t.devex.com/Njg1LUtCTC03NjUAAAGYx15_qyMT8ur6XnGlKXKj2mHhq1V5HMtUUWq…> , *calling them “unnecessary.”* Created by the U.S. Congress around 50 years ago, these agencies operate on modest budgets of $40million to $55 million annually, funding development projects in Latin America and Africa, as well as global conflict resolution. *Despite their small size, they've faced scrutiny* — critics accuse the U.S. Institute of Peace of having an overwhelmingly Democratic-leaning staff, while the African Development Foundation was flagged for financial mismanagement, though audits later found no violations. Trump’s order gives agency heads *14 days to comply with the directive and to justify their existence* or begin scaling down to the bare legal minimum. It also takes aim at various advisory groups, including USAID’s long-standing committee on voluntary foreign aid, established after World War II. Even San Francisco’s Presidio Trust, which manages a historic park, is in the crosshairs, writes my colleague Elissa Miolene. *Read:* Trump to scrap US African Development Foundation, US Institute of Peace <https://t.devex.com/dc/kyXVoDpAY__Vu56MNr4POjbW6rOsZ37Uc-AtgCDeIveAuZUFDsa4…>
