Alright, folks, this is big. We’re not talking about trimming budgets or shaking things up a little—USAID is being shut down. Completely. And there’s nothing the bureaucrats, the career officials, or the Washington establishment can do about it.
Here’s what went down:
Late Sunday night, USAID staffers started getting locked out of their computer systems. By Monday morning, they got an email telling them not to show up to work. The agency’s headquarters in Washington? Closed. The website? Gone. And the reason? Because President Trump and Elon Musk have decided that USAID isn’t worth fixing—it’s being dismantled.

Now, let’s talk about why this is happening.
USAID—the U.S. Agency for International Development—has been around since 1961, handing out billions of taxpayer dollars every year under the guise of “humanitarian aid.” In reality, it’s been a slush fund for leftist pet projects, shady foreign regimes, and globalist nonsense that has nothing to do with helping Americans.

And now, Musk—who’s leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—says it’s beyond saving.
“There is no apple,” Musk said, responding to those who thought the agency could be reformed. “It’s a bowl of worms. It’s beyond repair.”
Translation? They’re not “reforming” USAID. They’re tearing it down to the studs.
To put this in perspective, this is one of the largest government shutdowns in modern history. This isn’t just cutting waste—it’s ripping out a pillar of the deep state. And naturally, the Washington elite are losing their minds.
r/fednews (the largest subreddit for federal workers) seems to be most active during working hours.

Staffers weren’t just fired—they were locked out. The agency’s operations weren’t just “paused”—they were shut down without warning. This is how you do it when you’re serious about draining the swamp instead of just talking about it.
And what’s Musk saying about Trump after working with him?
“Frankly, I love the guy. He’s great.”
That sound you hear? It’s liberals across America absolutely losing it over the idea that one of the most powerful billionaires in the world is fully on board with Trump’s plan to dismantle the bloated, unaccountable federal government.
It’s amazing how the media talks about federal workers and NGOs like they are some special protected class
No one has the right to a federal job or contract, especially one funded at taxpayer expense
And they are all funded at taxpayer expense
