Hundreds of USAID employees have been fired or furloughed, and foreign aid operations were suspended after Trump issued a freeze on aid. The agency’s public affairs team has also been placed on leave and locked out of their systems.

This situation is escalating quickly. More details to come.

USAID, founded in 1961 as the primary U.S. foreign aid agency, is now under threat of being dismantled by President Trump. Signs outside the USAID building have been removed, the agency’s website went offline, and its X account disappeared.

Elon Musk’s staffers entered USAID offices and accessed classified materials without proper clearance. Two senior security officials who tried to stop them were placed on leave. DOGE staffers have since obtained the classified information and carried materials out of the building.

Note to OPM staff: Personal items cannot be searched. If any attempt is made, demand legal representation. Personal devices you own are off-limits to these staffers. Also, do not leave personal items in the office overnight. Stay alert and cautious.

More details will be released soon, but rampant illegal activity is occurring here.

This is essentially an email watermark—adding a space here, making a typo there, and similar subtle changes to track leaks.

Avoid directly leaking images; instead, request that the information be rewritten and the image recreated rather than shared directly from the source. Stay vigilant.

It’s heartbreaking when your child hears about the layoffs on the news and asks, “Mom, are we going to be okay?”—and you have to reassure them, even when you’re unsure yourself.

Departments are losing staff in large numbers, creating further instability. Every day, we face the uncertainty of whether it will be our last on the job. Many of us have families to support, and the stress extends to them as well.
