Trump administration fires at least 1600 USAID workers

The Trump administration says it's placing all but a fraction of staffers at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave worldwide and eliminating at least 1,600 U.S.-based jobs. The notices were sent to USAID workers and viewed Sunday by The Associated Press. It comes after a federal judge on Friday allowed the administration to move forward with pulling thousands of USAID staffers off the job in the U.S. and around the world. The agency said in the notices to staffers that it's starting to cut 2,000 U.S.-based jobs. A version of the notice posted later on USAID’s website put the number of positions to be eliminated lower, at 1,600. The administration gave no explanation for the discrepancy.

And to anyone who cares (calling them out to spread the word).

I did a thing to help put USAID in perspective (I know it's not with Putin but I don't think he would have power anyway).

Hope this could be used to help spread the word!

The US foreign aid pause has already done “irreparable harm” 

A former senior USAID appointee says, “This is a ‘destroy the village in order to save it’ approach."
