Summary

Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared himself acting head of USAID as employees were locked out and the White House confirmed plans to merge the agency into the State Department.

Elon Musk took control of USAID’s headquarters, email systems, and security access. Musk, with Trump’s approval, is pushing to dismantle the agency, calling it “beyond repair.”

Democrats condemned the move, warning it endangers global aid efforts and benefits U.S. adversaries.

Sen. Brian Schatz vowed to block Trump’s State Department nominees in protest.

        I tried that once. I think I still may be hallucinating from the vast amount of salt I ingested.
