Secretary of State Rubio says purge of USAID programs complete, with 83% of agency's programs gone
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Trump administration had finished its six-week purge of programs of the U.S. Agency for International Development.
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?
100%. American billionaires...and one South African because the illegal immigrant label doesn't apply to white people.
There's multiple South Africans backing Krasnov.
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 am so proud that my country is actively starving people and denying them medical care around the world, just like at home. Spreading the American way!

Nothing says 'Murica like a homoerotic beefcake. 💙

There is currently no standard irony or sarcasm punctuation.
Until there is one, you can use some other symbol for irony punctuation. Like ⸮, ‽, ¡ or ¿.
You can also use the rolleyes emote 🙄, strategic italics, and even rAndOMcASe capitalization.
Just don't use the SarcMark™. A trademarked punctuation mark you have to pay to use is one of the most bullshit forms of capitalist bullshit one can imagine. Fuck that shit with a white-hot iron rebar.
Oh, before I forget, there's also the snarkmark ( .~ ). Works like the SarcMark™, but you don't have to tell the world you are an idiot for paying to use a punctuation mark.
These assholes are trading countless human lives to line already obscenely rich people. The children deserve justice.
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.
