Shuttering of USAID could mean the end of millions in income for Midwest farm operations Frozen by Elon Musk’s DOGE personnel, the USAID program purchased $70 million in commodities in 2024 from Minnesota vendors.

Congress:

If you think Trump isn’t capable of dragging us into war where we militarily occupy Panama Greenland and Gaza, you are an idiot. He has seized control of our treasury. We are about to install a Russian agent as the head of intelligence. This isn’t a dress rehearsal.
