It’s not your point, but why are we shipping $60mil of contraceptives anywhere?
Speaking anecdotally (based on my experience in Madagascar) many women in very poor countries would rather not be child-producers for their adult lives and actually very much want contraception, which then can allow them their own time to do things like learn to read/get an education. And I imagine some countries welcome this assistance as these emerging economies are largely strained by a high fertility rate and little infrastructure to deal with that.
As to why the US should pay for it is a different question that probably has good/bad reasons; I suspect I would probably find myself saying it’s a good idea more than it’s a bad idea for us to pay for contraception in developing nations.
Way to high brow, this is a sick joke. "there wouldn't be so many children to kill if they could just stop having em!".

Oh I don’t question the value of contraceptives as a whole. Just a curious one as to why where shipping them en mass overseas. I can see the good from it but just an example where I’d love to know how that decision gets made. We have $60 million on the table and we’re going to allocate to this vs something else. Why this?Access to contraception significantly improves maternal mortality
According to the authors, worldwide use of contraception averted 272,000 maternal deaths, or 38 deaths per 100,000 women using contraception. The estimate is equivalent to a 44 percent reduction in maternal deaths worldwide. The decline in deaths for individual countries ranged from 7 percent to as high as 61 percent. The study authors further estimated that in the absence of contraceptive use the number of maternal deaths would be 1.8 times higher for the study period.Contraceptive Use Averts 272,000 Maternal Deaths Worldwide | Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

Family planning also reduces infant mortality rates
Reducing high-risk pregnancies and births through increasing use of contraception to avoid unintended pregnancies also reduces the likelihood of death among newborns. Evidence indicates that newborn and infant births are more likely to be risky:Loading…

There is also the link between contraceptive use and spread of STDs including HIV.

Why we spend it on this vs another part of the aid budget? I’d assume because it fits with a “stitch in time saves nine” approach - it heads off quite a lot of other potential funding demands and has quite a large “bang for buck” impact on multiple fronts.
As to how we spend it vs internal US funding I don’t know the process. However that is why I included the F35 costs, it really is a tiny part of the US overall budget.
Personally I’m very happy it gets spent for this purpose, we really don’t “pull our weight” wrt aid as it is

Can anyone credible just stop interacting on his platform and go elsewhere to spread news and hold him accountable?
He's basically using an echo chamber and the fact people value the amounts of "impressions" or "likes" to mean it's importance just plays into his hands.
He posts and gets 7million views. That's seen as news for attention when the fact is it's driven by bots and himself playing the algorithm. It's embarrassing.
