From USAID colleague, with permission to share. It's not just chaos it is devastation and tearing apart of families and communities. Not to talk of systems that kept us safe. This is just one story, multiple this by 10,000.

“U.S.A.I.D. officials were told on Thursday that about 800 awards and contracts administered through the agency were being canceled …. almost all of the agency’s direct hires will be put on indefinite administrative leave, while almost all contractors will see their work orders terminated.”
Jobs at U.S.A.I.D. will drop from more than 10,000 to about 290, according to several people.
Officials for the agency were notified of the planned cuts on the same day they learned that about 800 awards and contracts administered through U.S.A.I.D. were being canceled, three people said.
