Republican blocks Senate resolution in support of USAID
Sen. James E. Risch (R-Idaho) blocked a resolution in the Senate that supported the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) as the agency undergoes turmoil via the Trump administration. Democratic Sen. Chris Coons (Del.) asked for unanimous consent that the Senate agree to a resolution...
“The idea of merging USAID and the State Department has been floated by nearly every administration since USAID was established by Congress in 1998,” Risch said on the Senate floor. “I’m supportive of the Trump administration’s efforts to reform and restructure the agency in a way that better serves U.S. national security interests.”
Sounds like it will reappear at some point, with the help of the GOP even.
Trump is only one man, as is Musk.
Hard to fight the entire system by your lonesome.
