Another RPCV (with whom I think you are also now friends) was deeply involved with USAID for many years, particularly the Farmer-to-Farmer program.
While he is admittedly far beyond the average both in expertise and compassion, his accounts are a great example of what USAID can/could accomplish.

Did she cite RFK Jr, or one of his citations ....or sources?

This whole thing is bad enough just considering his unilateral way of acting without the Constitutionally mandated process, but when you remember that this is the guy with a 4th-grade (mis)understanding of everything except corruption, the ramifications are terrifying.

It's funny (in that disgusting way of theirs) how the people who were screaming that Kamala was sure to start a war that would have been inexcusable and wrong WHEREVER it might be are now singing the praises of the guy who's actually done exactly what they were reviling her for theoretically doing.

What kind of sick individuals enthusiastically support measures like this, thus encouraging Sick Individual #1 to keep ramping up the brutality?

Oh, the ironic symbolism in this whole scenario.😂

I wonder if choosing a name like Bubba the Firstest would help improve the churches standing with the MAGA stars like Empty Gee.

They were still a month away from Operation Barbarossa, and Stalin was still desperate to believe that the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact was still in effect, and Hitler wanted to keep him thinking that.

Once he thought he had the basics down, even if poorly and mostly wrong, he entered this lifelong phase of "I'm not wrong about this, YOU are, and you're stupid for trying to tell me that".
You can't get more unteachable than that.

This explains why he is at around a 5th grade level on just about every subject except stuff like cheating and corruption.

The Felon is so goddam stupid and arrogant that when he's dead wrong about something and someone else tries to explain why he's wrong about it, he cannot and WILL not concede his mistake and idiotically insists that THEY are the stupid ones.

What a silly question. Everybody knows it was that guy in a dress reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" to kids in that library in West Dakota or someplace like that.

Why is the idea that helping people in poverty stricken third world villages raise healthier children more likely to keep them from wanting to kill us American dogs than bombing them?
MAGA "logic" seems to be, "They still hate us? We obviously need to bomb them more heavily!".

Does he not math? If the media reports every single thing he does and not a single one is a good/positive thing, WTF does he think the percentage is going to be?
"Hegseth protected your freedom this past week by washing his hands after going to the bathroom most of the time".

A-HAH! I (and my 72 yo lard arse) can "run" a 3+ minute 100 meters and it will only be the fault of The Media being biased against me that I didn't beat Usain Bolt?
Hmmmm, has the real secret to a meaningful life finally been revealed?

There are articles on DER SPIEGEL about his and others' data, including phone numbers, being easily found online, but there's no sign of this specific development being reported.

Do you suppose that the announcement yesterday (or whenever) that the King was doing away with media protections for reporters regarding sources could cause an embarrassing story like this to just go away?
Asking for a hypothetical friend.

Trying to verify it, I have only found social media posts saying basically all the same things. I have found no actual news reports or sources yet.
That doesn't mean it isn't true but just wanting it to be true isn't confirmation.
That said, it wouldn't/won't surprise me one bit if it's confirmed.
