I’m all for auditing programs and gaining efficiencies. I’m not for burning it all down. There are consequences.
You’re just highly gullible and susceptible to propaganda. It’s in every post you make. It’s rather transparent.
Do better.

Re: USAID
I absolutely love the idea that some DEI "executive" of an NGO paid fully by USAID and getting a notification in your email from "Big Balls" informing you that, upon further review, you've been "made redundant" and are "now being deleted" from the government payroll.

SOME propaganda that CH has fallen for:
- the 2020 election was stolen
- January 6 was mostly peaceful and no big deal
- trump did nothing wrong and was the victim of lawfare by the DoJ

Maybe Kalamity is a paid operative of the lying and totally corrupt USAID sent here in attempt to sway opinions on a message board.

Re: USAID
So that typical reply from you when cornered is a resounding no.
Disinformation is a massive part of our problems. For the sake of your country, question everything you read or watch, and every source you use.
America is counting on you.

Politico publishes note ‘to set the record straight’ on government subscription outrage
“POLITICO has been the subject of debate on X this week. Some of it has been misinformed, and some of it has been flat-out false. Let’s set the record straight,” the outlet wrote as part of a memo published on its website. “POLITICO is a privately owned company. We have never received any government funding — no subsidies, no grants, no handouts. Not one dime, ever, in 18 years.”
...
Most Politico Pro subscribers are in the private sector, the company said Thursday, and come from across the ideological spectrum, with a renewal rate of around 90 percent every year “because they rely on our reporting, data, and insights.”
“Government agencies that subscribe do so through standard public procurement processes— just like any other tool they buy to work smarter and be more efficient. This is not funding. It is a transaction — just as the government buys research, equipment, software, and industry reports. Some online voices are deliberately spreading falsehoods,” the outlet said. “Let’s be clear: POLITICO has no financial dependence on the government and no hidden agenda. We cover politics and policy — that’s our job.”

Because you attacked Mint Press in order to bring mronline ability into question. Mint Press was the subject of their story. USAID was used to suppress Mint Press, and thus all their subscribers, reach. Restricting first amendment rights.
This same action has been uncovered over and over with USAID. Taxpayer dollars go to some DC group to censor views USAID doesn't like. Total crap.

Dems built DOGE.
Obama started USDS because the Affordable Care Act website was a mess. He needed talent and needed it fast. Got waivers to bypass typical oversight in hiring.
Trump is using Obama's creation to audit the government.
