President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has scored a major victory against the Deep State by shutting down the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The agency’s headquarters was sealed off, leaving officials locked out as DOGE took full control of its financial systems and classified files.

The crackdown saw USAID’s leadership cut off from its own operations, with two top security officials, including Director of Security John Voorhees, placed on leave after attempting to block DOGE’s access. More than 600 employees lost access to their systems overnight, while others were instructed to stay away from the office. By morning, the building’s entrance was taped off, preventing any attempt to resume normal operations.

7 months ago, I tried to DEFUND USAID.
Only 81 Republicans voted “aye” which is “yes” to my amendment to prohibit funding to USAID.
127 Republicans and 204 Democrats voted NO to my amendment and voted to FUND USAID.
I FULLY SUPPORT ELIMINATING USAID!!! pic.twitter.com/XpSAW9Ap5C

Musk announced on X that Trump had fully reviewed DOGE’s findings and agreed that USAID must be dismantled. The White House released a statement outlining the agency’s history of wasteful spending, citing taxpayer dollars funneled into DEI programs, electric vehicle incentives, and left-wing activism worldwide.
Hysterical reactions like this is how you know that @DOGE is doing work that really matters.
This is the one shot the American people have to defeat BUREAUcracy, rule of the bureaucrats, and restore DEMOcracy, rule of the people. We’re never going to get another chance like… https://t.co/rwBqcp7veQ

Investigations into USAID’s financial records have revealed troubling connections to Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company at the heart of the Biden family controversy. Additional reports suggest the agency played a role in funding legal efforts against Trump, raising concerns that taxpayer money has been used for political warfare rather than legitimate aid.
USAID is not a "humanitarian" effort. It's a CIA front. It's why the rest of the world HATES us.
In exchange for our tax dollars, we've asked countries to change their laws, accept abortion, promote transgenderism in their schools, open their markets to multinational… pic.twitter.com/eMhLyVhhTi

Ilhan Omar supports USAID because almost $2.3 billion of our tax dollars were wasted on Somalia. Omar swore allegiance to Somalia over America.
She said, “I am here to protect the interests of Somalia from within the US system.”
This violates Omar’s oath to Congress and the US. pic.twitter.com/kY7snfHJwa

The move has sparked immediate legal challenges from Senate Democrats and federal worker unions, who have filed lawsuits against DOGE and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent over access to classified financial data. Senate Democrats have also demanded an explanation from Secretary of State Marco Rubio regarding DOGE’s takeover, though with USAID’s headquarters effectively shut down, their influence appears limited.
With USAID in turmoil, discussions are reportedly underway about absorbing the agency into the State Department. For now, the Deep State’s grip on international funding has been severely weakened, and Trump’s push to dismantle Washington’s entrenched bureaucracy is charging ahead at full speed.
