USAID is facing significant changes after 50 senior staff members were put on leave, signage was removed from headquarters, and their computer system was compromised. Elon Musk claims Donald Trump has authorized him to shut down the agency, leading to a directive for staff not to report to work. USAID plays a crucial role in providing billions in humanitarian aid to combat famine and disease in developing countries, which is vital to prevent influence from nations like China and Russia. The situation raises concerns about Musk's involvement, as he is not an elected official and has government contracts globally. While he claims to address issues, the motivations behind his actions remain unclear, highlighting the need for transparency.

NBC News reports that USAID staff are being told to shred and burn classified documents. An email obtained by NBC News indicates that this document destruction was scheduled for Tuesday. The email from Erica Carr, the agency's acting executive secretary, advises staff to prioritize shredding and use burn bags when the shredder is unavailable. Having worked in government, I've never encountered a situation where so much shredding was required that the shredder's downtime was anticipated. A source who recently left USAID also found this unusual, noting they'd never heard of burning or shredding federal records at USAID. Typically, document burning occurs at embassies facing imminent takeover to prevent classified information from falling into the wrong hands, which is not the case here.

Elon Musk did not create USAID, and he cannot destroy it. We will stop him. Musk may have gained control over financial systems, but he does not control the American people's money. His actions threaten lives globally, impacting crucial programs like HIV and AIDS prevention and anti-malarial education. Regardless of Musk's intentions, they do not align with the laws established by Congress. We will defend USAID. Reports indicate that evaluations have been removed from the USAID website, jeopardizing major foreign aid programs totaling less than $40 billion, while the Pentagon budget is nearly $900 billion. Musk, who became wealthy from public funds, is attempting to undermine USAID, but we will not allow this to happen.

I'm concerned about the scrutiny USAID is facing. It's an organization that promotes national security, human rights, and global health. But, some USAID projects are questionable uses of taxpayer money. For example, millions of dollars have gone to tourism in Egypt, a Democratic Party propaganda arm, transgender opera in Colombia, sex changes in Guatemala, bat research in Wuhan, and even a new Sesame Street show in Iraq. These expenditures raise serious questions about how taxpayer money is being spent. We need to take a closer look at these allocations.

We must end the climate change hoax. USAID wastes taxpayer money, launders money, and acts as a CIA front to manipulate public opinion and affect regime change. USAID even indirectly funded the Wuhan lab, which unleashed COVID totalitarianism. People are fed up with the unelected bureaucrats in organizations like the WHO, who are accountable only to their Chinese donors. We should follow President Trump's lead. We must end the Green Deal, development aid, and the WHO. Give us Doge instead so we can fight these despicable globalists.

I've found some questionable expenditures by USAID, like the $3,000,000 given to a rap artist in Gaza who was producing anti-Israel, anti-Semitic songs. Is that really the best way to use American taxpayer money? I don't think so. During tomorrow's hearing, we will be addressing this issue, as well as the fact that the woke ideology that USAID is pushing in various parts of the world is not welcomed.

I have personal experience with fixing USAID. As someone in charge of policy and budget at USAID during the Reagan administration, we took on a major effort to fix it. I even have a farewell present from AID. It's a hand grenade that says, "John R. Bolton, truest Reaganaut, AID 1983." This represents the style of government that we embraced at the time and it reflects our approach to the job.

USAID was the great front for sixty years for this whole network, and USAID formally shut down on July 1. It's been absorbed by the F branch of the State Department, the foreign assistance branch of the State Department. There have been 14,000 people who are laid off at USAID and it's being administered by a much smaller crew of people. Everything from USAID employee to USAID employee or USAID employee to NGO or contractor has to be made public. The present blocking point, as I understand it, is that the State Department does not presently even have access to the USAID files because of the IT blockages that is, USAID people, I believe, simply didn't turn over the encryption or the passwords.

I'm exposing some initiatives USAID has funded and asking a yes or no question: Do these expenditures of American taxpayer dollars put America First? USAID awarded $2,000,000 to strengthen trans-led organizations for gender-affirming health care in Guatemala. Does paying for this advance American interests? USAID awarded over $750,000 to alleviate loneliness among migrant garment workers in India. Does this advance America's interest? USAID awarded $1,500,000 for a gender-sensitive response to migration at the Venezuelan border. Does this advance American interests? Other expenditures include; $4,300,000 for health services for men who have sex with men in South Africa, $1,500,000 to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in Serbia, $70,000 for a live musical event promoting US and Irish shared values, $1,500,000 to upscale LGBT rights advocacy in Jamaica, $28,000,000 to facilitate the economic insertion of Venezuelan migrants in Peru and Ecuador, $17,500,000 for voluntary medical male circumcision overseas, and nearly $150,000 for HIV prevention targeting men who have sex with men and transgender people. Our foreign assistance system is broken, and this ends now.

There's significant fraud in USAID, with radical groups receiving funds they don't deserve. A staggering amount, like a hundred million, is being misallocated. It's crucial to investigate the kickbacks associated with this spending. Who would invest such sums in questionable projects? It's likely that those who received the funds are not returning any to the government, indicating a high level of corruption. The key issue is understanding the extent of these kickbacks.

USAID and similar NGOs claim to rescue Africa through grassroots initiatives, but they are wolves in sheep's clothing using humanitarian access to destabilize governments. Most leaders in the developing world are celebrating USAID's exit. USAID claims to fill gaps in healthcare and education, but there's no evidence of improvement in any country where they've operated. The social services they provide are insignificant. American taxpayers should know that only a fraction of the billions of dollars given to USAID reaches the people.

People often say they didn't vote for Elon Musk, but they did, as Trump made it clear that Musk, Bobby, and Tulsi are part of the team. Once they're on the team, they can't be removed. We've taken your advice and consent, and now it's time to move forward with making America great again. The recent actions with USAID are just the beginning. Expect significant changes ahead, particularly within the US Department of Education and the National Endowment for the Arts. What lies beneath these organizations is alarming, especially concerning the intelligence community. Stay tuned for more updates.

We had a productive discussion about USAID, an issue I've focused on for years in the Senate. USAID has consistently obstructed my congressional oversight efforts. I shared examples of waste within the organization during a recent conversation on X Spaces with Elon. It's crucial that we scrutinize every dollar spent there, and I'm pleased to see a shift in oversight to the State Department.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the weekly report. The USAID website is currently inaccessible, and reports indicate the Trump administration has frozen its activities, potentially moving it under the State Department or shutting it down entirely. Many view USAID as a humanitarian agency, but it plays a significant role in U.S. regime change efforts globally, funding NGOs that undermine elected governments. Recent reports show that 90% of Ukrainian media outlets rely on U.S. funding, creating a propaganda loop that distorts information about the conflict. Additionally, USAID is linked to funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab. Americans deserve transparency regarding USAID's actions, and the agency should be audited and ultimately closed. Thank you for listening.

USAID is a fraud and a slush fund for left-wing projects globally, with very little being put to good use. This occurs while denying funds to those who clearly need them, with only cents on the dollar reaching those in need. USAID was initially created for humanitarian purposes, but it has been captured by the military-industrial complex, becoming a sinister propagator of totalitarianism and war. The US government, through USAID, has funded things like DEI initiatives in Serbia, gender surgeries worldwide, sex change surgeries in Guatemala, and social media influencers in Ukraine. USAID is using taxpayer dollars to fund opposition and subvert democracy in other countries. USAID and the CIA don't promote democracy; they are run by radical lunatics that we are working to remove. As an American taxpayer, I don't want my dollars going towards this.

Initially, USAID was created with good intentions. However, the agency has broken the trust with the American people and hasn't been transparent about where our taxpayer dollars are going. In 2021, the special operations command put out an instruction manual with instructions and examples on how the military could work with the state department, intel services, and USAID using race riots in order to destabilize nations. They also advocated for setting up job fairs near some of these riots so that disaffected workers could gain employment. These operations are taking place without government oversight, without the authority of the president, without the authority of congress. USAID needs to condemn this and provide oversight to congress on exactly where our tax dollars are going. Do you agree that this is wrong?

Hamas's actions remind us of their true nature—evil and not fit to govern. Their destruction is in everyone's best interest, including Palestinians. The President's plan for Gaza involves removing people for reconstruction, but if others have better plans, they should present them. In my first 30 days as Secretary of State, I've focused on realigning the State Department with America's national interest. This means defining our interests and ensuring every action supports them. We're restructuring bureaus to better address issues like migration and human trafficking. We've paused foreign aid to review its alignment with our interests, issuing waivers for programs like fentanyl precursor training in Guatemala.

USAID has been a slush fund for left-wing projects globally, including gender surgeries, DEI policies, and climate initiatives. Billions of dollars funded NGOs, which infiltrated corporations and the public sector. This fueled resettlement of illegal immigrants, promoted equity policies, and advanced radical gender agendas. This massive left-wing power structure, including the media, wasn't organic; it was taxpayer-funded. The outcry against President Trump's cuts to USAID funding stems from this. He's cutting off the funding to organizations that harm America.

We are halting all grant funding to NGOs that facilitate illegal immigration. Millions of taxpayer dollars have been misused to support this issue, and we are reevaluating how these funds are spent to ensure they strengthen our country and enhance safety. Many NGOs operate not only in the U.S. but also in Mexico, encouraging illegal immigrants to cross the border. Initially, I viewed NGOs as charitable organizations, but I've come to see that some function as shadow governments, using taxpayer money for actions the federal government cannot legally undertake. This has compromised our national security, and we will no longer support these operations with federal funding.

I'm proposing to reduce Samantha Power's salary to $1. As USAID administrator, Power is a globalist activist pushing regime views. She prioritized diversity, marginalized voices, and responsive aid. USAID now focuses on food security, climate change, and DEI, even installing DEI advisors and scorecards, demanding ideological conformity. Power has met repeatedly with left-wing foundations like Soros' Open Society and the Gates Foundation, exemplifying the Biden administration's close ties to groups executing extreme policies. As UN ambassador, she requested unmasking names linked to the 2016 Trump campaign. Rewarded with a permanent seat on the National Security Council, Power abuses her position to impose a left-wing agenda. This amendment holds her accountable.

We've learned that USAID has been used to push globalist propaganda and potentially fund terrorism, even resulting in American deaths, which could lead to criminal referrals. The agency may need to be abolished. We aim to expose the millions of dollars going to radical organizations, some with ties to terrorists. There are questions about why mechanisms to prevent foreign aid from reaching terrorist groups aren't working, especially when we see terrorist weaponry linked to these funds. For years, USAID has been a slush fund for left-wing propaganda. We need to ensure American tax dollars benefit American citizens and interests, not wasted on things like DEI musicals abroad. This may be the world's largest money laundering scheme in history. We're committed to creating transparency across the government, thanks to President Trump and Elon Musk, who will help expose every corner of government. That is what the American people want.

I Googled USAID and apparently Trump and Elon shut off the world's oxygen supply. But what's missing from these stories is any reporting on what USAID was spending money on, like sketchy projects they funneled billions into, or why shutting it down might be a good thing. USAID was dropping millions on gender studies in countries that still stone women, funding infrastructure projects where nothing ever got built, and paying for DC cocktail parties instead of actual aid. The media is acting like USAID was a holy temple when in reality, it was just a government ATM with no withdrawal limits. Nobody even knew what USAID did until Trump shut it down. If your charity dies when the free government money stops flowing, it wasn't a charity. It was a money laundering Ponzi scheme. And the fact that CNN is crying tells you everything.

We need to clean house and remove warmongers, globalists, and the deep state from America. Unlike previous presidents, I didn't start a war because I rejected the advice of Washington's generals, bureaucrats, and diplomats who only know how to get us into conflict. People like Victoria Nuland have been pushing Ukraine towards NATO for years. In my next four years, the war mongers, frauds, and failures in our government will be gone.

USAID, disguised as foreign aid, pushes a radical, anti-American agenda. Democrats show no concern for wasteful spending, perhaps because a surge in searches for criminal defense attorneys indicates deeper issues. While President Kennedy created USAID, Democrats now cry foul when President Trump pauses it for reform. The left's outrage is insane, as Americans see through it. Bureaucrats have tainted the goodwill of American aid, with programs sabotaging diplomatic ties by pushing woke ideology. The Biden administration even weaponized PEPFAR, demanding African nations violate their beliefs for aid. Firing those responsible is just the beginning. Elon Musk doesn't access personal data but holds a top-secret clearance for his work with NASA. Criticizing young people working is offensive; their service matters.

USAID, initially created by Kennedy, has become a front for a far-left agenda, marked by wasteful spending and anti-American priorities. Democrats show no concern over this misuse of funds, which makes me believe there is an attempt to conceal the corruption. Trump's attempt to pause this spending was met with cries of a constitutional crisis. Many USAID programs undermine diplomatic relationships by pushing woke ideology, as seen with PEPFAR, where the Biden administration jeopardized lives by imposing abortion agendas on African nations. Those complicit in this betrayal should be fired. Also, it's false that Elon Musk, who has a top-secret clearance for his work with NASA, has access to personal data. Finally, it's offensive to dismiss the capabilities of young people serving our country. Their service matters and should be respected.
