Trump to order USAID be put under the State Department (Update: 2/3/25 - Agency Locked Up, Employees Locked Out)

[Braman]

The CIA generally doesn't take action unless it's targeting left-wing governments in foreign countries. Unless Elon Musk and his tech billionaire friends openly declare themselves as Marxist, communist, or socialist, the CIA is unlikely to focus on them.

I think this deserves its own thread.

As some of you know, I work on foreign assistance with an implementer. Mainly on security and rule of law work. My programs are paused during this freeze. Trying to get waivers from DOS.

My industry has been upended this week. So many people laid off or furloughed. Country offices being decimated. Every implementing contractor or non profit is being cooked right now.

WSJ reports that USAID is now going to be under DOS. Congressional Dems are saying it is illegal. This article breaks it all down.

So basically you're CIA

Nope

"He ain't gonna do all that. He is just saying that to get votes. I have to vote with my wallet." - numerous folks I talked to leading up to election.

All of them silent as hell, now. Especially on this forum.

“I already lived through a Trump presidency and nothing changed.”

Has Musk even been confirmed yet? Why is it essential for him to have access too all of that sensitive info if he hasn't even been given security clearances yet.

He won’t be confirmed. He’s working outside realm of the executive branch

Maybe @FAH1223 should have supported democrats instead of defending and elevating insurgent trolls and insurrectionists against mainstream establishment democrats for the last 8 years via bernie bros and related trolls who hate liberals and democrats more than republicans. Your leftist trolling, anti-neoliberal DSA tinged anti-capitalist ravings have empowered a destructive conservative revanchist neo-reagan element.

Did you not think Trump would do this?

This is you reaping and sowing.

…I wish no harm or misfortune on you. I really don’t. I know others in DC about to get hit with the hammer right now. but I hope one day you’ll be humble enough to admit you were wrong about Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris.

This is what we tried to save you from.

All you had to do was VOTE DEMOCRAT.

I dont hate you bro, but I do want some humility form you going forward. WE WERE RIGHT.

Tariq and Phil Scott did so much damage to the mind of the delicate negro. What Trump is doing is down right evil and insane

So with that being said, why would he have access to sensitive government info if he hasn't even been cleared yes?

Trump has given him the power to do this. Is it legal? I doubt it

DOGE is some made up shyt from Trumps executive order. It’s not even a real agency and none of them are federal workers.

@FAH1223 you voted for Trump?

Regardless, prayers up brother. Even if the aide freeze gets reversed or you get an exception, them boys bout to shut down the whole gov and it will not be a normal shutdown. It’s going largely overlooked bc of all the fukkery

The President signed a continuing resolution on December 21, 2024, that runs through March 14, 2025. Lawmakers will need to pass another CR or complete appropriations to avoid a government shutdown.

See above. That’s probably why they’re moving so quickly. Need to get all the recipes before they kick people out

Why is USAID classifying documents? Honestly, there's a lot of shady shyt the government HAS been funding. Lets get it out in the open (NO MAGA)
