Summary
A federal judge ruled the shutdown of USAID by Elon Musk’s DOGE “likely violated the Constitution” and ordered system access restored.
The judge required DOGE to reinstate email, payment, and security systems within seven days, and prevented further actions without USAID authorization.
Musk, appointed by Trump to lead DOGE, had rapidly shut down USAID operations, stranding employees abroad and terminating humanitarian projects.
Former officials warned the shutdown would cause “preventable death” and damage America’s global standing, allowing China and Russia to fill the void.
This is why we need to completely tear down the GOP. The damage is done. The effort it takes to stand up the agency, to rebuild the connections, put together the people, have them move toward the mission…that takes years of effort.
Destroying it took days.
Everything the GOP is doing is about making the next person’s job more difficult.
Party of pain and suffering
