It is very strange to me how USAID is a target of DOGE's animus.

I just learned that there is a prominent GOP conspiracy theory that USAID was a power center for liberal profiteering and networking - graft and liberal corruption. They think it will end liberals.

I, for one, am shocked that the pro-apartheid, historically nazi racist monster that just wants people he hates to suffer and was (allegedly) under investigation by USAID wanted them shut down.
