Secretary of State Marco Rubio is traveling through Panama, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala and the Dominican Republic as he represents President Trump and the new administration. He’s doing great.

Today, Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered remarks to reporters in El Salvador discussing his role as Acting Director of USAID after President Trump and Elon Musk moved to incorporate USAID into the State Department. Secretary Rubio repeated that USAID must align with U.S. foreign policy and the national interests of the U.S. government.

Citing the “uncooperative” nature of the USAID leadership acting as an independent entity, Secretary Rubio announced he is now Acting Director of USAID with the intention of removing all elements who operate against the direct U.S. interests he outlined. Additionally, Secretary Rubio affirmed the positive nature of President Trump’s call with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum

Sen. Andy Kim at USAID: “I talked to the security guard just in there. He said he has been given specific orders to prevent employees of USAID from entering the building today. I just find that to be absolutely ridiculous. This is no way to govern.”

Great news—AID is a house of horrors.

Every single expenditure, contract and subcontract needs a full forensic accounting to the last dollar looking for leftist propaganda, corruption and kickbacks, wasteful spending and of course just bad policy.

Not that I’m against Rubio but I can’t resist this after hearing he’s made himself the new acting director....

Locking traitors and crooks out of their government offices is the only way serious people govern.

Then you fire them if you can—detail them to distant horrific duty stations if you cannot.

I’ve been around the block in DC before and I know about hazing. But whoever took my lip gloss is going to have 50% tariffs slapped on them in an hour.

This is not random or accidental. I have to think that the Trump team knows all the linchpins of the Deepstate and are heading there first.

“Senator Chris Van Hollen (MD) and other democrat elected officials just stormed the USAID headquarters with a mob of protestors behind them.

This looks like an insurrection to me.”

Excellent suggestion on EPA—some nasty bureaucrats need to get removed ASAP.
