Summary
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the completion of the Trump administration’s six-week purge of USAID programs, eliminating 83% of the agency’s initiatives.
The remaining 18% will move under State Department control.
The administration claims eliminated programs “did not serve the core national interests” of the US. Critics argue the shutdown is illegal without congressional approval.
Aid groups report even life-saving programs received termination notices. The rapid dismantling has left thousands unemployed and billions in unpaid contracts, with many USAID staff still stranded overseas awaiting travel expenses.
So now that we’re not wasting money on other countries we’re gonna help Americans, right?
The money was mostly given to American companies and created American jobs. Most of the money went to Americans, who focused their energies on helping other countries.
What, you don’t feel richer already???
Of course. And by that, they mean land and business owners who cozy up to the cabal, not the “lowly NPC masses”.
Absolutely. A very, very, small percentage of Americans.
Thanks you Trump for finally eliminating US soft power. Once no nation sees any benefits in close relationships with the US and actively hates it, the US will truly be a wealthier and more powerful super power than ever before!
(I’m being sarcastic, jfc this is so stupid and cruel)
I hope he lives long enough to see what the history books say about him.

83% of programs gone. Clearly that means massive savings right? Definitely not less than 1% of the federal budget right?
Oh wait, it was never about trying to balance the budget. But finding anything that loosely fit the description of “woke”, “DEI”, or benefiting brown people.
What a waste of oxygen this whole administration is.
Now we will eliminate the waste, fraud, and abuse in the military budget, right? Right?
Hooray… We did it…
Good job not voting, lefties. They couldn’t have won without your help.
