This fact sheet on the White House website lists bullet point items of what it alleges are “waste and abuse” at USAID. I was curious what they came up with. Actually every link is to articles at Daily Mail, Breitbart and Washington examiner. https://www.whitehouse.gov/uncategorized/2025/02/at-usaid-waste-and-abuse-runs-deep/

On a related note, what does one fighter jet cost?
How happy the US Catholic bishops must be that their pro-life stance has yielded this outcome.
Some of those places will completely collapse without it
I grew up Catholic, and the only thing the proponents of that theology are "pro" is abstractions they can romanticize, with no necessary connection to people's actual lives. #NotAllCatholics, of course, but the ones who make antichoicery their mission don't care about life, just fantasy.
That's why the opress needs reforming especially on retractions which should be the same size, prominence frwquency and duration as the opriginal lies and all the checking/poling paid for by fining the guilty.
Would cut down propaganda immensely. Needs political will
1 a significant number actually commenced during the trump administration
2 a significant number the source is a republican congressman quoting to a reporter
3 misrepresentation of the funding.
4 the total represents less than 1% of USAID annual budget

“the waste has been happening for decades”.
Yes they’ve dredged up USAID funded projects from the Bush era and Trump era.
What’s with the sudden bout of accountability??
Maybe the fact it reflects less than 1% of USAID budget tells the story.
the world has zillions of real issues to focus on. they have all the means to do good for others. yet this is what they choose to focus on.
i am so tired of this timeline and alternate universe.
And now it's being echoed by the state-run MSM. Brietbart and Daily Mail as sources, many of which occured under his first term.
It asks us to twist our minds to view former prescribed policies as waste/abuse; mischaracterizes Egypt funding when the USAID link is right there; and makes a bunch of clearly unbelievable claims.
The other, we went to grade school together, said P25 has nothing to do w MAGA.
Uh huh. Right.
fucking wild.
blocked with prejudice too.
(blocked for the kamala line alone)
I see this as another third world country broken down.. this was how media described third world nations when coup and anarchy happened!
“Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?”
Even if this was true we are talking specks .
Can you list all the good ones helping people?
Can you also list the logs in Musk’s business in all government agencies.
Or help provided to fund help to end Apartheid that Musk supported.
Of course don’t expect the truth from X, Trump , WH , Musk, MAGA, GOP.
Propaganda is the core of dictatorship
Read a f*cking book!
It happens all the time-
make up their own lies?
Whoever wrote one of the other pages doesn't know the difference between buried and burrowed. It's all that genius at work.
Re-eaten garbage in -> reality-detached grey goo out.
Sidebar: Model collapse is proof that LLMs cannot learn.
Everything about this administration is an opinion not based in fact.
Uhhhh, no:
Sinai including the provision of potable water to 300,000 residents and wastewater services to 100,000 residents”.
Killing USAID helps all the tyrants of the world. Nobody else.
DOD should have to pass annual audits, as should all govt agencies. This is just responsible management of public funds, not punishment for politics.
#WhatCommonSense?

Firing 10,000 people and blowing-up a government Agency that literally saves lives because someone approved a $30K grant you don’t like seems a tad extreme.
And: Waste and abuse *run* deep.
Those voids will be filled by China, Saudi Arabia or Russia.
Reluctant to quote DM on here without first corroborating the story elsewhere. But this WH is a-ok with it as a reliable news source.
one vindictive cunt cripples our soft power, which puts us in danger, and hurts countless people in desperate need, just because
that is how this country works. not some rich jackoff doing whatever he wants, no matter how cruel, because he paid for it

When you list conservative rags as credible “sources” it’s just one more layer of white wash on their lies.
Eventually people stop questioning the source, and suddenly Daily Mail, Breitbart et al become undisputed truth, and the Overton Window shifts right yet again.
1. Suddenly retroactively anti-tourism
2. Linking directly to evidence it's lying its face off (and sloppy, to boot)
Over here it is know more affectionately as The Daily Wail, or The Daily Hate.
Legacy and mainstream media, this is what your “both sides” and Trump sane-washing has wrought. Actual FAKE NEWS has taken your place.
