Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he is acting director the U.S. Agency for International Development, following days of upheaval at USAID as the Trump administration froze many of its programs.

I don’t think they are scared. They are moving forward. Trump endorsed what Musk is doing and signed an EO for a sovereign fund this afternoon. They are doubling down.
A president can’t just reorganize federal agencies created by law. NPR your reporting is pretty weird and I think wrong. Are you worried about getting canceled too?
Headline use of word “embattled” feels like long-term conflicts in and around USAID, like there was in-fighting or something. Be clear that there were no issues 2 weeks ago. In fact, USAID was probably in the peace-making business before.
BLOG: There is method behind the revamp of US government agencies; it is part of a much broader objective of state capture by Trump, Musk, and their allies. South Africa is a great example how state capture works. Read on: https://www.jandehn.com/post/elon-musk-s-gift-to-the-us-state-capture
Let's correct your headline.
"Marco Rubio Unconstitutionally seizes control of USAID as Musk commits multiple national security violations demanding access to secure areas and files without proper clearance"
What USAID agency? There's no money. Everyone has been fired and shut down worldwide. Diplomats lost access to emergency response. NPR has been compromised for years now, so the terrible reporting isn't a surprise.
If I were Rubio I would be ashamed to admit I was in charge of this current mess! And it appears as if Musk is actually calling the shots and Rubio is kissing A
That is bullshit. Ahhh Lil Rubio, Rump told you to jump and you said how high!!! You know that makes you an accessory to a crime if you told a person with no clearance to get classified info. Are you thinking cause they will leave you out to hang?
NPR dropping the fucking ball here. Your headline is so fuckng weak. TRUMP ADMIN FROZE MANY OF ITS PROGRAMS. Or 6 unelected traitors completed a coup on the USA at the direction President Musk and VP Trump.
This administration is populated by morons. USAID should be considered part of this Country‘s intelligence apparatus. The information that they gather throughout the world is invaluable for future foreign policy decisions. What can you expect from this administration of mediocrity.
I've seen hand-painted rocks on African roads- "THANKS to US" - for the aid that helped people to build, with their own bare hands, a farm to market road. Vulnerable people know USAID serves not only their needs but also our own need as Americans to be true to values we claim to hold.
Save USAID
Yazidi people, displaced by ISIS in Iraq, told me to say "thank you" to American friends for shelter, fuel & safe places for their children. Vulnerable people around the world know USAID serves not only their needs but also our own need as Americans to be true to values we claim to hold.
The Mad Queen accuses, the Madhatter screams the evidence proves it so, the rabbit looks over to the evidence room set in flames by the foot soldiers. Cheshire grins it’s clear very, so clear that which would go over there should now go into the Queens pockets for only she knows what is and is not.
Important to remember that the US is the least giving in humanitarian aid terms of any wealthy nation. The wealth clique, the billionaire oligarchy of the US is also the very least giving in charity terms of any nation's wealth clique. Time to rise to arrest the filth that float. Nonviolence only.
This is what China wants. And of course this totally inept idea of shutting down USAID cane from Musk. Therefore, we should all agree Musk is actually the acting President. 🤬
None of this matters. Comrade donald and the Russians are here to destabilize the U.S. garbage tabloids like @npr.org, @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy , @thehill.com , @cnn.com all are complicit in this. They have sh-t on the constitution. Forgotten what "freedom of the press" means. Cowards
Read this for the detail and you find out that Rubio has delegated the job to some unnamed mystery person. We need transparency. We live in a democracy. Remember that.
Trump has appointed people to his cabinet whose cardinal virtue appears to be loyalty to him — not to the Constitution. They have no appetite to push back against Trump’s desires to round up immigrants and deport them, arrest his political enemies, and use the military against the American people.
There is an argument to be made that USAID should nest under the DoS, but these moves are clearly Illegal. Congress is being usurped and they letting it happen.
I'm sorry.... I understand that nothing is normal anymore, but is it normal for the Secretary of one department to also act as the director of another department?
It’s sad to see NPR’s tepid response to this and the Treasury seizure. Instead of asking the perpetrators if what they’re doing is illegal, why aren’t you asking experts and then asking Democrats what they’re going to do about it?

Covering up treasonous actions
I know it's cliche, but it is impossible to not think that if Obama did this he would've been impeached and removed by the end of the week.
It is enraging that this is happening at the hands of a party that for DECADES has lectured about responsible governance and morality 🤬
American Government Collpases
Not true, but I can use words, too.
yeah, ya lost me
Yazidi people, displaced by ISIS in Iraq, told me to say "thank you" to American friends for shelter, fuel & safe places for their children. Vulnerable people around the world know USAID serves not only their needs but also our own need as Americans to be true to values we claim to hold.
I mean… he’s not the director … if the agency doesn’t exist anymore 🧐
Any effort to interfere with its function is a violation of Congressional authority.
I can look one up for you if you need some help.
