The State Department has officially notified Congress that the US Agency for International Development (USAID) has been dissolved, and the remaining operations of the agency will be run by the State Department itself.
According to United Press International, the State Department officially told Congress that USAID was dissolving on Friday. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement, "Today, the Department of State and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) have notified Congress on their intent to undertake a reorganization that would involve realigning certain USAID functions to the Department by July 1, 2025, and discontinuing the remaining USAID functions that do not align with Administration priorities."
Rubio also noted, "Thanks to President Trump, this misguided and fiscally irresponsible era is now over. We are reorienting our foreign assistance programs to align directly with what is best for the United States and our citizens. We are continuing essential lifesaving programs and making strategic investments that strengthen our partners and our own country. This is yet another promise made and delivered to the American people."
USAID was a particular target of spending cuts and efforts from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after the Trump administration came into office. In a memo that was distributed to USAID employees, the State Department wrote that it "will seek to retire USAID's independent operation" and then see if those employees that were let go will need to be rehired.
"This transfer will significantly enhance efficiency, accountability, uniformity, and strategic impact in delivering foreign assistance programs -- allowing our nation and President to speak with one voice in foreign affairs," the memo added, per ABC News. "It will also obviate the need for USAID to continue operating as an independent establishment."
"All non-statutory positions at USAID will be eliminated," as part of the agency getting dissolved, the memo added.
This is a breaking story. Please refresh for updates.
Good
Trump is gonna be in BIG trouble if he keeps acting like he's president!
The State Department should be the ones that decides which foreign countries get money, and for what.
Bye Felicia.
So sad, ... oh well, ...
What will ActBlue use to money launder now
USAID Cairo. I’d love to see what they were up to, what governments they were scheming to overthrow.
USAID was just a Democrat party slush fund.
Just like the movie “Deliverance” they demand that we
squeal like a Pig, as they abuse us!
It seems to me the Inbreeds got their come-uppance.
Time for Democrats to get theirs.
Except I don’t want to hear squealing,
just dead silence.
This is a crippling blow to the “make the world safe for perverts” policy of the Democrats and Euroweenies.
“ Just like the movie “Deliverance” they demand that we
squeal like a Pig, as they abuse us”
Great analogy!
Good movie too!

‘Little Marco’ ;) is rising to the occasion! Glad to see it! :)
How soon before America is out of debt? Oh, not in MY Lifetime? Well, it’s a start at least!
MAGA! :)
Be assured it’s just not just the rats, the whole uniparty has been involved in this scam that has gone on for years and years.
Start with Mitch McConnell, he’d make a great cellmate for Xiden in their fantasy life in prison sentence.
Maybe can buy some putt options ...will check with my broker come Monday
Y’all know that wasn’t the actor playing the banjo right? It was someone BEHIND him with their arms wrapped around him.
