USAID Shutdown Impacts Global Aid Efforts
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has effectively ceased operations following the Trump administration’s decision to place most employees on leave. Despite claims of waivers for lifesaving programs, current and former officials report that all humanitarian work has halted. The agency’s dismantling has left thousands of employees in limbo, both in the U.S. and abroad, with many facing uncertain futures and logistical challenges in returning home.

Trump Administration’s DOGE Group Reshapes Federal Agencies
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) group has been rapidly implementing changes across federal agencies, including shutting down diversity programs and accessing sensitive data systems. The White House claims DOGE is accountable to the president, but critics argue the group has violated laws and civil service protections. Congressional Democrats have protested these actions, while Republicans have blocked attempts to subpoena Musk.
