Political contributions from employees at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) went almost entirely to Democrats, according to a Daily Wire analysis. In the 2024 election cycle, USAID staff made a total of $406,790 in political contributions, according to data collected on OpenSecrets. More than half of that, $241,079, went to the former Vice President Kamala Harris. Only $999 — a quarter of a percent — went to President Donald Trump. In all, just over $377,000, or 97%, went to Democrats, while just $12,704 went to Republicans. Open Secrets tracked all political donations of USAID employees to PACs and candidates over $200 via data from the Federal Election Commission.

Why am I not surprised? USAID is little more than a massive money laundering scheme and tool of the CIA.

I would suspect similar percentages across the Fed government.

No one should be surprised to learn that political contributions were checked before hiring at this and other parts of the federal government. Yes, that’s illegal, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t done. They didn’t get caught because no one wanted to catch them.

ALL of the FED GOV Agencies in DC are disproportionately staffed by rats/leftists. 95% - 97%, at a MINIMUM!

Getting tried in a court of law by a jury of your peers in DC is hysterically laughable.

The J 6-ers were subjected to these jackal courts and so was P Trump.

BURN IT DOWN! Salt the earth.

I am surprised the % wasn’t higher.

I am convinced that much of Fedzilla’s bureaucracy is created for the sole purpose of creating jobs where the workers donate exclusively to dimocrats.

I hope Musk takes a look to see if taxpayers have been funding “Bluesky”. Who by the way shut their public front door and users now have to log in to see posts.

USAID is an I/C slush fund that funds NGOs to keep democrats bought. I presume that RINOs also drink from the same eternal spring. Here is how this all came about. "The History of the Intelligence State" -- an essential 40 min lecture on the origin story of The [Deepstate Intel] Blob.

My Goggle search yielded:

US Agency for International Development
Employees 10,235 employees (FY 2016)
Annual budget $50 billion (FY 2023 Budgetary Resources)
Agency executive Marco Rubio, Acting Administrator

It's a little confusing, but that annual budget does not include the monies disbursed by this agency, only the agency's costs. 10,000 people will now be off the government teat or working for Rubio. Huge loss for Deep State.
