There! That wasn't so bad, was it?
The most "painful" DOGE cuts so far, almost all of the bloat at USAID, which Trump masterfully highlighted in his joint address ...
... has been cut off.
According to Marco Rubio it has been slimmed down by more than 80%.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday the Trump administration had finished its six-week purge of programs of the six-decade-old U.S. Agency for International Development, and said he would move the 18% of aid and development programs that survived under the State Department.
Yep. USAID was trimmed by more than 4/5 and it has been dissolved and taken over by Rubio's State Department.
So the trans mice program may be dead for good!
Rubio's social media post Monday said that review was now "officially ending," with some 5,200 of USAID's 6,200 programs eliminated.
Those programs 'spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, (and in some cases even harmed), the core national interests of the United States,' Rubio wrote.
That's one DOGE mission accomplished!
