USAID

Everyone knows that Elon Musk wants your social security number. If he had your money, he would burn his.
This is going to be glorious, and we're only starting week 3. I'm thinking I can shut my water off for the next 4 years and just allow your tears to provide.
Well...now that my brain is clear from all of that.
I would say, conservatively, that 99% of what has been posted is a bunch of people just throwing stuff out on the wall and seeing what new "theories" emerge. They are taking disparate information and linking it together to indicate an argument against USAID that is mostly devoid of facts.
For example, one post saying the USAID budget is bigger than the CIA's budget. For starters, the U.S. Intelligence Community budget is classified. No one knows that number but people in the IC and neither does that person.

You're in the top 7 most ignorant and delusional poster on TI. If you work hard and keep on drinking all the liars koolaid.....you got a chance at moving up into top 3. I'm rooting for you.
This is absolutely false (the only true statement you made is that the actual CIA budget is classified, but the overall budget is not)
One of the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission was for the Intelligence Community to declassify its budget. This recommendation was enacted in 2007 by section 601 of the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act (Public Law 110-53). This law established the requirement for the Director of National Intelligence to disclose the "aggregate amount of funds appropriated by Congress” for the NIP within 30 days of the end of the fiscal year.
Every single claim that's been posted is a verified fact using FOIA and other resources (whistleblowers, etc.)

Sure man, she and Trump also stridently told us that we were sending $50 million dollars worth of condoms to Gaza that they used to send bombs - Trump told it again earlier today so they've already blown their credibility and should not be believed.
FACT FOCUS: No evidence that $50 million was designated by the US to buy condoms for Hamas
President Donald Trump claimed during the Laken Riley Act signing that his administration had “identified and stopped $50 million being sent to Gaza to buy condoms for Hamas.”

In 1961, USAID was created by an E.O. issued by President John F. Kennedy (E.O. 10973), based in part on authority provided in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. But a later act of Congress (The Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998, 22 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.) established USAID as its own agency. In a section titled “Status of AID” (22 U.S.C. 6563) it states:
(a) In general
Unless abolished pursuant to the reorganization plan submitted under section 6601 of this title, and except as provided in section 6562 of this title, there is within the Executive branch of Government the United States Agency for International Development as an entity described in section 104 of title 5. (emphasis added)
The key language here is “there is within the Executive branch of Government [USAID]” (see sections 6562/6563). Those are the words Congress uses to establish an agency within the executive branch.
