Can you clarify what USAIDs objectives are and which programs are "far outside those objectives".
Most of what I see being complained about can easily fall under socioeconomic development, which is ostensibly one of the objectives.

- daveguy 2y ago"Condoms for Hamas" was debunked.
- zdragnar 2y agoThat's just one example. Hamas has been receiving funding for years, despite their less than decent track record of using the money for it's intended purpose. https://ngo-monitor.org/reports/usg-funding-to-gaza-and-wb-in-2024-more-money-less-transparency/ https://ngo-monitor.org/reports/usg-funding-to-gaza-and-wb-i... As an example.
- daveguy 2y agoAll of this is about actual oversight verification and oversight performed in 2024 and earlier. This is pre-doge, so of course none of their garbage lies show up. Only the actual oversight by regulators that doge is fking up.
- aSanchezStern 2y agoYeah this was totally debunked, I believe the programs that were said to be "going to terrorists" were actually promoting women's literacy in Afghanistan.

There's more going on than what's in the latest news cycle. Of course, that particular source is vested in the story, but to call the entire thing "totally debunked" is just willful ignorance.
