Spoke to two USAID employees today. Hard to describe the chaos happening there right now. Critical programs providing food, medicine, and fuel to countries like Ukraine have been halted. Half the workforce has been fired. Staff are being intimidated. And today, the USAID website was taken down. - ThreadSky

Trump is ensuring that the USA will have no position or prestige in the world.

This pains me. I was part of a USAID contract in China during the late 90's. I personally know how dedicated the patriots of USAID are in fronting democracy, and more importantly providing the tools to countries in need of the guidance and funding. It rips me apart to read these kind of atrocities.

Oh dear, and there are still some of us who remember how the Marshall Plan saved
Europe from the communists
and made America safer.

Doing this on weekend and the cover of his new tariffs. Flooding the zone

Also striking Somalia. Even more distractions

Taking out all the agencies that are vital for so many lives. Is this who Americans really want to be? I sure don’t.

Looks like an attack on the U.S. government from within. Trump on down.

I have covered so many countries where USAID was literally the pivotal difference between life and death… this is pure cruelty

How is any of this legal?

Heartbreaking. We must act quickly to get aid restored. Embarrass and Sham,e the Republicans, let the world see they are not Christians, they are savages and inhumane.

Fucking ghouls

Is it an overstatement to say certain US adversaries- eg Russia (Ukraine) and China (Africa) must be delighted? Relevant? Unilateral surrender of US soft power???

He only rewards those that help him.
