What happened to USAID is now slated to happen to the Millenium Challenge Corporation (MCC): www.mcc.gov

What I am hearing is consistent with these screenshots! 😤😤😤

The dismantling of US Foreign Aid continues…
SCOOP!!! DOGE terminates all Millennium Challenge Corporation programs, sources tell me “All MCC programs will be closed. No new programming is expected,” according to an email sent to MCC staffers moments ago “The agency will effectively be shut down.” 1/2 For the countries that received an exemption and that have active construction the MCC has requested a 4 month wind down (Ivory Coast) and 3 month wind down (Mongolia, Senegal, and Nepal) Staffing levels will be maintained for statutory requirement which is expected to be bare minimum (eg just a few), according to the email. DOGE will draft a resolution for the board as soon as next week. No board resistance is expected. Staff have until next Tuesday to decide to take deferred retirement/fork or RIF. The RIF process timing is unknown but expected to start as soon as next Wednesday. MCC contracts will start being terminated tomorrow (via dodge) MCAs in non-exempted countries have already issued stop work notices and will be told to terminate. RCMs have been given green light to communicate closure with host country governments/counterparts today.

The news getting you down? I invite you to stare at this chart of solar and wind deployed capacity in China.

They blew past their ambitious 2030 target... last July.
Solar and wind growth in China has ramped up to 1400 GW of installed capacity.

A poem from Loryn Brantz.
INAUGURATION 2025 In a time of hate Love is an act of resistance In a time of fear Faith is an act of resistance In a time of misinformation Education is an act of resistance In a time of poor leadership Community is an act of resistance In a time like this Joy is an act of resistance Resist. Resist. Resist. - Loryn Brantz
