USAID is Officially Gone

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has officially shuttered USAID after determining that it “strayed from its original mission long ago.” He plans to reorganize the agency and continue only the essential programs from it. The notice came the same day as a judge released DOGE to continue investigating the agency.

Foreign assistance done right can advance our national interests, protect our borders, and strengthen our partnerships with key allies.  Unfortunately, USAID strayed from its original mission long ago.  As a result, the gains were too few and the costs were too high. Thanks to President Trump, this misguided and fiscally irresponsible era is now over.   We are reorienting our foreign assistance programs to align directly with what is best for the United States and our citizens.  We are continuing essential lifesaving programs and making strategic investments that strengthen our partners and our own country.  This is yet another promise made and delivered to the American people. Secretary of State Maro Rubio

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

“The State Department said Friday it was officially shuttering the U.S. Agency for International Development, in what could deal a final blow to the beleaguered foreign aid agency.

In a memo distributed to USAID employees and obtained by ABC News, Jeremy Lewin, the agency’s new deputy director and a former Department of Government Efficiency official, wrote that the State Department “intends to assume responsibility for many of USAID’s functions and its ongoing programming.”

The State Department “will seek to retire USAID’s independent operation” immediately and “assess” whether to rehire some unknown number of officials to “assume the responsible administration of USAID’s remaining life-saving and strategic aid programming,” the memo said.” ABC

The leftists were not happy either with the court ruling or the shuttering of the agency. The gravy train is over. SOS Rubio plans to get what’s left of the agency reorganized to remove the slush fund and do what it was originally designed to do.

In an era of massive change, people are freaking out for no logical reason over the loss of USAID. Or maybe there was never any “reason” involved in the first place.
