Let’s get this out of the way: this is what we voted for, and it’s something that’s beyond refreshing. Despite reports of an overhaul, USAID has been virtually decapitated. Its functions were incorporated into the State Department, with a large swath of staffers destined to be furloughed in the coming days. The era of waste and relief aid going to cockamamie DEI nonsense is over.
Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency, acting on orders of President Donald J. Trump, rolled in like the Golden Horde and exposed a web of wasteful spending that’s likely to be a preview of even worse fraud, waste, and abuse at agencies with more significant budgets.
As of now, all USAID staff are set to be on leave. Additionally, all USAID overseas missions are to fold up shop by this Friday.

Not yet he hasn’t. I won’t believe it is gone until Congress agrees.
My question is are there any more USAIDs out there running wild with no oversight.
if i’m not mistaken, USAID was created by EO in 1961 and therefore can be wiped out with an EO
liberals will scream, but with the corruption coming into public view, I’m totally for closing it down. And remember, what can be created by Executive Order can be closed down by a new Executive Order.
Besides having regulatory agencies reviewing and canceling old regulations, President Trump needs to have a review of EOs by past presidents for those which can also be terminated.
Good info. 1961 would have been jfk.
He’s settling all family business.
American family business.
Is DOGE auditing every federal Department? If so, what is next? I’m not tired yet.
Education is next. That should be fun.
“I don’t have confidence that Marco Rubio can stop them.”
That is why DOGE is there.
They will be watching very closely—and they are a lot of IQ points smarter than Rubio—and the State Department bureaucrats.
President Trump has learned that you need Plan A, then Plan B if Plan A fails, then Plan C if Plan B fails.
He is not playing anymore.
Amazing how the democrats used USAID for a front to shore up their agenda agents and nobody knew about it.
NO IT’S Not it’s called media agents on duty for the cover up.
so much for the ace reporters self back patting.
News organizations also funded by USAIDS
They would never disclose it.
I hope they have a plan to widely broadcast detailed findings in an unimpeachable format, complete with receipts. Sooner the better.
“what is next?”
My guess would be the department of education
I want a list of everything this was paying for. Disclosure. Transparency.
Totally agree......make ‘em FAMOUS!
If you’re waiting for congress it’ll never happen. Congress doesn’t do anything that the people want.
Can the headlines lately be more ridiculous?
he truly didn’t, learn to write!
