...three people with knowledge of the plans...

If it weren't for anonymous sources, The New York Times would have no sources at all.

Trump’s America First policy means putting America First. He means business.

The following sort of sums up all of the restructuring that Trump is having his team implement.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who took control of U.S.A.I.D. as its acting administrator on Monday, insisted during a Fox News interview this week that the takeover was “not about getting rid of foreign aid.”

I wonder if the other agencies that are objecting are stating to get the message that “Resistance is futile....” However, for those federal employees that now understand the need to follow Presidential orders....as Spock would say, Live long and prosper” For the rest there are prison cells waiting.

Secy of State Marco Rubio, who took control of USAID as acting administrator on
Monday, insisted on Fox News that the takeover was “not about getting rid of foreign aid.”

“We had rank insubordination,” he said. “USAID employees had been completely
uncooperative. We had no choice but to take dramatic steps to bring this under control.”

Teeth are gnashing all over DC with this news. “Oh noes! How will America survive??!!?” They said the same thing when Elon cut Twitter jobs by 80% and it’s still thriving to this day. 🤣

This is so sad. Hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars just sitting there and 10,000 morons can’t get their hands on it. So sad.

Imagine seeing pics of these 10k people? Those are the types that you see in public and wonder, “how could that person have a job?”

New York Times is going to have to close down that bureau in Karachi where evidently these “reporters” are based.

Nice Meme, pretty much sums up USAID - they ‘claim’ to just be ‘humanitarian’ do-gooders, but something like 90% of their budget is to brainwash people and start wars, as in Ukraine.
