Summary
The Trump administration has canceled 90% of USAID’s foreign aid contracts, including critical programs that provide lifesaving therapeutic food to malnourished children.
Mana Nutrition’s CEO reports that ready-to-ship boxes of peanut paste that could save approximately 300,000 children are now stranded in a Georgia warehouse.
Despite Secretary of State Rubio’s claims that “lifesaving humanitarian assistance” would be spared, numerous essential health programs have been terminated, including those preventing diseases like polio, HIV, and Ebola.
These cuts contradict claims about targeting “wokeness” or “waste,” instead showing a reckless abandonment of America’s global humanitarian commitments.
Cancelling contracts already in progress. The epitome of “efficiency”.
Yep, they’ll get the government sued and lose so much more money through litigation and actually losing the law suits.
But of course, they don’t care, for all their talk about deficits and taxes they know it’s not their money in the end.
Unless some genius lawyer manages to somehow make Musk personally liable, of course, because none of this Doge stuff looks set up properly, so if the US ever does get back to some sort of rule of law, people will get in trouble for breaking all sorts of laws.
Trump’s admin has already shown that you can’t really sue the federal government into compliance if there isn’t anyone to enforce it. Sure, those countries and companies and people can sue the US for breach of contract. The government will laugh in their face and not pay, simple as that. Trump literally made his millions doing exactly this.
It’s shocking to me that people have this notion of the judicial branch being magical wizards that can issue a sacred ruling that teleports bad guys to prison. That’s not even in their job description.
They interpret the law and the executive enforces it. If the executive doesn’t care to enforce their rulings then they might as well be running legal theory channels on YouTube
Refusing to pay people and honor contracts has been Trump’s MO for decades.
In a lot of these cases, the money has already been paid for these contracts*. “Cutting” them isn’t even saving any money, because the money has already been spent.
It just shows that efficiency isn’t what this is about. It’s about destruction.
