"On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs. Essential personnel expected to continue working will be informed by Agency leadership by Thursday, February 6, at 3:00pm (EST).
For USAID personnel currently posted outside the United States, the Agency, in coordination with missions and the Department of State, is currently preparing a plan, in accordance with all applicable requirements and laws, under which the Agency would arrange and pay for return travel to the United States within 30 days and provide for the termination of PSC and ISC contracts that are not determined to be essential. The Agency will consider case-by-case exceptions and return travel extensions based on personal or family hardship, mobility or safety concerns, or other reasons. For example, the Agency will consider exceptions based on the timing of dependents’ school term, personal or familial medical needs, pregnancy, and other reasons. Further guidance on how to request an exception will be forthcoming.
Thank you for your service."

That’s a serious Order.
DJT must have an outstanding team working on this sort of thing.
This is a Blitzkrieg. They are getting hit fast and from every angle. They can’t even begin to react before the next hit comes in. They’re in total disarray.
They’re blathering idiots.
I LOVE it!!!

History lesson.
JFK created USAID by executive order.
Heck we can’t keep up just reading/listing to and about it all!
It’s astounding the pace things are happening.
I can’t imagine what the crooked politicians are thinking......
BTW - all those men he has at his side at Marlago...billionares etc. likely have their best and brightest going at it too....all hands on deck is certainly an understatement.
“Thank you for your service...now scram.”
Trump didn’t really telegraph how quickly and incisively he would act once he took control. But then, neither did Sherman, Patton, or Schwarzkopf.
For sure....
DOD is coming, too.
Yes, isn’t it beautiful.
Yes!!
When God selects His man of the Hour things move quickly.....God paves the way.
That’s right and there’s more to come.
I’m in awe to say the least.....and the media is God-smacked no doubt.
Foreign news as well.
I don’t think there are many. This is a compartmentalized operation. They will not take any unnecessary risks.
