Summary
The Trump administration has canceled 90% of USAID’s foreign aid contracts, including critical programs that provide lifesaving therapeutic food to malnourished children.
Mana Nutrition’s CEO reports that ready-to-ship boxes of peanut paste that could save approximately 300,000 children are now stranded in a Georgia warehouse.
Despite Secretary of State Rubio’s claims that “lifesaving humanitarian assistance” would be spared, numerous essential health programs have been terminated, including those preventing diseases like polio, HIV, and Ebola.
These cuts contradict claims about targeting “wokeness” or “waste,” instead showing a reckless abandonment of America’s global humanitarian commitments.
There’s always another believable lie. Some other reason why.
My wife’s best friend has a conservative brother that got fired under DOGE shenanigans. 6-figure job that they relocated him to Germany to do. Now he doesn’t know if they’re even going to help him with relocating back to the U.S.
He says this is just a normal pendulum swing in life/politics, and it’s a reaction to liberal overreach. …? Not an ounce of ire toward the people who actually did this to him.
