Destruction of world’s largest humanitarian programme was done without formal authority or official oversight, former USAID employees claim
Elon Musk, leader of the Trump administration’s now-disbanded Department of Government Efficiency, must sit for depositions along with senior State Department officials over their role in dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.
Pointing to findings that Musk had made the decision to break up USAID – one of the world’s largest humanitarian programs – despite lacking formal authority or official approval – District Judge Theodore Chuang wrote that there was “no alternative” than for Musk and other officials to provide testimony regarding their decision-making process.
The ruling represents a win for a group of anonymous former USAID employees who are suing Musk, DOGE and State Department officials over the closure.
Who cares what this corrupt administration wants we should arrest them with a second amendment mob and all the Israeli backed politicians too
Unfortunately we broadly allowed the bulk of our population to check out and the 2024 exit polling confirms it, they voted for all this because they had no idea what they were doing, and now this group of jackasses controls the military and we can’t really directly assault them unless we can radicalize a LOT more comfortable liberal middle-class people.
Besides, we can still turn this around. Mussolini (and a number of other dictators) were not defeated by a plucky band of armed rebels who stormed the capital, he was arrested by his own government and handed over to the opposition who executed him. Even the most corrupt systems can break if we apply enough pressure.
