WASHINGTON, D.C. – Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been appointed by President Donald Trump as Acting Administrator for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), employees are locked out of the building, its website is shuttered, and folks are up in arms to protest.
USAID’s Mission, on behalf of the American people, we promote and demonstrate democratic values abroad, and advance a free, peaceful, and prosperous world.
However, the American national debt is high, the rich want their tax cuts made permanent, and someone has to pay the price. In the crosshairs is the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which the Trump Administration claims “has long strayed from its original mission of responsibly advancing American interests abroad, and it is now abundantly clear that significant portions of USAID funding are not aligned with the core national interests of the United States.”
As an interim step toward gaining control and better understanding over the agency’s activity, President Donald J. Trump appointed Secretary Marco Rubio as Acting Administrator, after ruler Elon Musk told Trump the agency needs to be “shut down.”
Secretary Rubio has also now notified Congress that a review of USAID’s foreign assistance activities is underway with an eye towards potential reorganization.
“As we evaluate USAID and ensure it is in alignment with an America First agenda and the efforts of the State Department, we will continue to protect the American people’s interests and ensure their tax dollars are not wasted,” Rubio’s department said.
Democrats have vowed to fight for the agency, which they say feeds a lot of hungry impoverished people around the world.

President Musk is a threat to our security and our privacy. He has no security clearance to allow him to access financial or medical information of American citizens.
