It will be when the dept is taken over by the State Dept.

Last I heard it's close to 10,000 employees.

    My G_d people what are you advocating for  :shrug:
    USAID financed Ruth Paine's Father and Barack Obammy's Mother.   /s
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

I've not been a Rubio fan for quite some time, but he looks darn serious and not someone to mess with.

He has been terrific! What a great surprise, I wondered more about this Cabinet pick than any other.

Wait, USAID was paying Politico's bills, too?!? So much propaganda, so little time.

Politico reporters haven’t been paid after USAID payments were suspended. Opposition news outlets across Europe, South America, Asia, and Africa are facing similar problems.

USAID purchased half a million dollars worth of Politico subscriptions for federal employees.

My my my.  Looks like Politico will need a new stream of income to keep the propaganda content going.   Com'on G Soros, step up my man.

Just curious: has a single foreign head of state called President Trump this week and told him “No! Please! Don’t take USAID out of our country!”

Anyone still wondering why those bastards worked so hard to get rid of Trump?

Excerpt:
Recent revelations indicate that Politico, a prominent media outlet, has received funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). This financial connection has raised concerns about potential biases in Politico’s reporting, especially regarding its coverage of USAID-related news.

On February 2, 2025, Politico published an article titled “Musk on USAID: ‘Time for it to die’,” highlighting Elon Musk’s criticism of the agency. Given Politico’s financial ties to USAID, questions arise about the objectivity of such coverage.





No wonder Politico was unable to make payroll last week.

Doge turned off the spigot.
You can bet Politico was not the only left-wing rag being financed by taxpayers and it’s all coming out.

As an aside...President Trump should NOT be attending the Super Bowl.

He should direct it all from behind a curtain...like Barack HUSSEIN Obama did these past NINE YEARS!

Wait, what? That may explain why NC/GA/VA/TN got little assistance after Hurricane Helene.

Apparently there is an agreement between DHS and USAID called the “Compact Aid Agreement” that allows FEMA to transfer funds to USAID? This needs further investigation.

All this great news, but it is sobering to remember there are elements even from supposed conservatives on these threads who do not support these actions happening.

Like RINOs in Congress, these are the real culprits to ferret out as they undermine America under the guise of conservatism.

Guys like Schumer and Sanders are easy as they make themselves big targets and we know where they stand.
