Inside, it's DOGE trying to wipe out foreign aid entirely vs Trump people trying to wipe out USAID and migrate activities to the State Dept. Neither doing it in ways that would avert massive loss of life and waste of taxpayer dollars. And all of it is unlawful.

So if there is waste and fraud…how will we know? 🤷♀️
Trump’s sudden cutoff of funding and staff at USAID has meant the loss of “almost all ability to track $8.2 billion in unspent humanitarian aid…, a government watchdog warned Monday.”
