In case you wondered, or didn't know, this is a great @oxfaminternational.bsky.social article about why USAID matters.
Sure, USAID is part of American foreign policy. But most USAID workers I know are just good people who want to help.

We all want the government to be more efficient, but President Trump's attempts to kneecap the federal workforce would push out experts like those at the Bonneville Power Administration. This drives up costs for the ratepayer and puts the reliability of the Northwest grid at risk.
