Summary
A leaked USAID memo warns employees not to discuss disruptions in humanitarian aid caused by Trump and Musk’s funding freeze, threatening dismissal.
The memo insists aid has continued uninterrupted, but this is “highly disingenuous at best and mostly nonsense at worst.”
The New York Times reports that USAID officials were told to delay aid approvals, and while a waiver allowed some assistance to continue, serious obstacles remain.
Trump fired USAID’s inspector general after a report revealed $500 million in food aid was at risk.
Forget Watergate. This is a catastrophe of far greater magnitude, and for justice to be done, backroom deals like the one Jerry Ford brokered aren’t going to cut it. Qaddafi, Ceasescu, Saddam, those are end games to study.
