The future of the US government's main overseas aid agency has been cast into doubt, with employees locked out and the Trump administration planning to merge it with the US Department of State. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) would continue to function as a branch of the state department, but the plan involves a significant reduction in its funding and the workforce, CBS News, the BBC's US partner, reports. On Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused USAID's leadership of "insubordination" and said he was now its "acting head". US President Donald Trump and one of his top advisers, billionaire Elon Musk, have been strongly critical of the agency.

Notice that BBC did not disclose this material fact about their funding.
What an absolute homerun Elon has hit. Tear down USAID and scatter it to the wind.
USAID filled the void created by issuance of the edict that no CIA personnel be assinged into the Peace Corps (wink wink). They are the CIA people who show up at the embassies where I worked, and promptly go into management positons, instead of State personnel. As if the 25% of foreign service positons already filled by CIA isn’t enough....
This is the radical lefts American taxpayers cookie jar that is being used for their own agenda around the world and answerable to know one, HOPE THEY OPEN THE BOOKS to the American people so we can see and know what they’re doing, who they are funding and who these people are so we can investigate and charge them for crimes against the America people
What a tangled web of enemies foreign and domestic being funded through USAID..
VERY INTERESTING!! WHY would we be funding BBC??? Why would UNICEF be funding the BBC? WHO are these Foreigners that have given the MOST money to the BBC?
Incredible link re who is funding BBC, Thanks!
How much has USAID dished out that came right back to Democrat campaigns, NGOs, and politicians? When will there be a real investigation of Act Blue and other smurf operations?
“Notice that BBC did not disclose this material fact about their funding.”
They did:
The BBC’s international charity BBC Media Action, which is funded by external grants and voluntary contributions, receives funding from USAID. According to a 2024 report, USAID donated $3.23m (£2.6m), making it the charity’s second-largest donor that financial year.
So many of these organizations are funded by all taxpayers where money then goes out the back door to leftist political interests.
Good catch—in that case they should have disclosed this blatant conflict of interest in the first paragraph of the article.
Politicians should not have slush funds.
“Good catch—in that case they should have disclosed this blatant conflict of interest in the first paragraph of the article.”
Some orgs do that.
OTOH, the OP should have been more accurate in his posting.
