Here's news from The Bulwark, so you know from the jump that it's anti-Trump. After the 51 former intelligence officers signed that letter saying the Hunter Biden laptop had all the hallmarks of Russian information, you'd think that the media would stop relying on numbers of "experts" to back up their claim. Remember Axios' scoop that 16 Nobel prize-winning economists had warned us about a Trump economy? Or when more than 650 Harvard professors signed a letter supporting serial plagiarist Claudine Gay?
Now, Sam Stein from The Bulwark is alerting us that more than 700 foreign policy officials has signed a dissent cable urging Secretary of State Marco Rubio to stop the dismantling of USAID.
NEW: More than 700 current US foreign policy officers and officials have signed a dissent cable to Marco Rubio urging him to stop the dismantling of USAID. An extraordinary step. https://t.co/5fUiUFbDpI

Stein writes:
The letter comes as USAID has been largely reduced to rubble. The agency has been moved out of its D.C. office and placed inside the State Department. Thousands of staff have been put on leave. Ten thousand contracts and awards have been terminated. A top official recently penned a series of memos raising concerns that millions of lives were at risk because life-saving aid that was supposed to be given a waiver remained frozen. That official was subsequently put on leave.
Yes, that's what we voted for.
"An extraordinary step," indeed.
Did they also mention that Hunter Biden’s laptop is Russian disinformation?

Foreign "aid" officials trying to keep the grift machine alive is the least surprising thing you'll see today.

“Former corrupt officials don’t want the corruption ended” isn’t the message you may think it is.

Out of 69,000 State Dept employees, 700 isn't a strong dissent.

Wow, I didn't realize so many were on the take.

DOGE will eventually get around to the State Department, and when it does, it will have a handy list of people to fire first.
Maybe USAID would have been spared if it hadn't been a giant slush fund for leftist programs around the world.
