The words “U.S. Agency for International Development” have been removed from the agency’s headquarters in Washington, a clear sign that its future under President Donald Trump is in doubt. This comes after an audit uncovered billions of taxpayer dollars being used to fund media control, foreign activism and ideological projects worldwide.

One of the audit’s biggest findings was USAID’s influence over Ukraine’s media. Reports show that nine out of ten media outlets in Ukraine relied on foreign donors, with USAID acting as the main source of funding. With the agency’s budget now frozen, questions have been raised about whether outside interests could step in to shape Ukraine’s media landscape.

BREAKING: Trump just doubled down on abolishing USAID and says other agencies are far worse!

USAID: Biden threatened to withhold a $1 billion USAID loan guarantee unless Ukraine fired the prosecutor investigating his son's company. Victoria Nuland funded the Ukrainian coup with USAID money. USAID is at the heart of the war between Ukraine and Russia.

Beyond media funding, USAID allocated taxpayer money to controversial programs. Millions were spent on LGBT lobbying in Serbia and a transgender opera in Colombia. Other funding was directed toward a Sesame Street program in Iraq, a transgender comic book in Peru and gender-related media training in Sri Lanka.

Black Lives Matter was also a recipient of USAID-backed funding. The Soros-funded Tides Center received a $24.7 million grant, later directing over $12.6 million to Black Lives Matter-related organizations. This financial backing was provided at the same time the movement was leading protests that resulted in widespread destruction across the U.S. in 2020.

This is the USAID funded journo who doxxed the DOGE employee and got him fired.

In Europe, USAID’s actions have drawn attention. A German lawmaker in the European Parliament has called for an investigation into the agency’s possible election influence across multiple EU countries. Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban has also pledged to expose all U.S. funding of activist groups and media organizations operating in his country.

DOGE is ripping through the federal government like a tornado. This morning it has been reporting that DOGE sent out firing notices to 9,400 USAID employees, leaving only 611.

This is the biggest SCAM ever on the American tax payers.

USAID was able to hide it during Trump’s first term. Thank God he hired Elon to dig up the dirt. Nothing will get past @DOGE Nothing!!! pic.twitter.com/gMZ72glHW0

The agency has also been linked to President Donald Trump’s first impeachment. Reports indicate that a CIA whistleblower cited sources funded by USAID and the State Department in the complaint that triggered the proceedings. Now, with the agency’s name erased from its headquarters, USAID’s future remains in question as the Trump administration moves forward with efforts to eliminate it.
