Summary
Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared himself acting head of USAID as employees were locked out and the White House confirmed plans to merge the agency into the State Department.
Elon Musk took control of USAID’s headquarters, email systems, and security access. Musk, with Trump’s approval, is pushing to dismantle the agency, calling it “beyond repair.”
Democrats condemned the move, warning it endangers global aid efforts and benefits U.S. adversaries.
Sen. Brian Schatz vowed to block Trump’s State Department nominees in protest.
I’m pretty sure he doesn’t have the authority to do that.
Then again, rules don’t mean shit anymore. So fuck it, I declare myself The Burger King while we’re at it.
Oooh can you bring back the original Whopper?
Best we got is Impossible Whopper
With Trump/Musk, no whopper is impossible.
You’re gonna eat your cyberburder and you’re going to LIKE IT
Burger proceeds to accelerate off the table, killing everyone inside
Except the one without any nazis
I tried that once. I think I still may be hallucinating from the vast amount of salt I ingested.
Double burger triple whopper
Lose the state and watch them prosper
I once got busy in one of your bathrooms
Clean your restaurants!
And this fucker was UNANIMOUSLY confirmed!
Just in case you thought anyone in the Senate were serious about using their powers to halt the encroachment of fascism 🤬

That’s the excuse for sure, but not a valid reason.
Voting to confirm him is an endorsement of his integrity and suitability for the job.
Endorsing someone with no integrity and limited suitability otherwise is complicity.

Just stop
Nope. The Senate is an exclusive club and he’s a member.
And I declare myself God of the Senate. Bow down to me, Marco.
If you don’t have bug out plans I suggest you start. For everybody else I would recommend getting your shit together because this is going to be a team effort to sabotage the Nazi movement.
Lil’ Marco, once the guy accusing donvict of a small penis, is now a total supplicant.
And this is all based on the dude who isn’t elected that has so far turned everything to shit that he’s touched?
So is USAID taken over by President Musk and shut down, or is Rubio the head of the department? Do they know which it is?
And he delegated the role immediately to musk (his own words is that he delegated it to ‘an individual’ but he won’t say who. Look up the interview video)
Somehow… Rubio returned.
With the unanimous consent of the Senate, even 🤬
Unbelievable
awkward sip
Is it pronounced US aid or U-S-A-I-D?
Probably “us aid” (as in we/us) from now on
U said?
USA ID?
US Aid, that is how it’s word mark is stylized as well (and well, it’s Aid from the US so the branding works)
Speaking from one of the countries that get said aid. It’s US aid.
Yes.
Did he have a big drink of water before he declared it?
