Donald Trump IS walking into one the many minefields coming at him….
Late Thursday, U.S. District Judge Amir Ali ordered administration officials to temporarily lift their freeze on U.S. aid and development programs abroad. He alluded to the “shockwave” caused by their action and said they “have not offered any explanation for why a blanket suspension of all congressionally appropriated foreign aid … was a rational precursor to reviewing programs.”
Trump and his top adviser, billionaire Elon Musk, have been highly critical of the agency’s work, with both baselessly claiming that USAID is responsible for tremendous fraud.
Despite a State Department waiver for emergency food assistance, those shipments still had been delayed around the world, a USAID inspector general wrote in a report Monday — a day before he was dismissed. The bottleneck, Paul K. Martin wrote, put more than $489 million of food assistance at risk of spoilage or theft as it waited at ports, in transit and in warehouses.
In defending itself in court, Ali noted, the government acknowledged that the waiver process “may have had ‘hiccups.’”
Aid groups had said Thursday that some food deliveries were now moving through shipping channels but that millions more pounds of corn, lentils and pinto beans remained stuck because the agency’s payment system is not functioning….

Two Kansas Republicans, Sen. Jerry Moran and Rep. Tracey Mann, are working with other lawmakers to protect Food for Peace by moving it to the U.S. Department of Agriculture as “part of an ongoing effort to save money and increase efficiency,” Moran said in a statement. His proposal has gained widespread support from a number of agricultural groups.
The program, founded in Kansas, was signed into law in 1954 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. It has long been championed by the state’s leaders, including former senator Robert J. Dole, and has helped more than 4 billion people in over 150 countries since its inception…

On Thursday, a different federal judge extended a block on the Trump administration’s plan to place thousands of USAID employees on leave. Yet with thousands of contractors already fired, the agency’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance could ultimately lose more than 90 percent of its workforce, Martin, the inspector general, wrote. That outcome raises continued concerns about whether any existing staff can work with locals on the ground to the distribute the commodities, he added.
The temporary gap in supplies has already been “devastating” some countries, said Paul Spiegel, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Humanitarian Health and former chief of public health for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees.
“There has already been much damage done that will be difficult to undo,” Spiegel said Friday. “The administration has not always done what they said they would do providing exceptions for humanitarian response, so the question remains: Will they allow funds to go out, or will they simply slow it down and the pain and suffering of all these vulnerable people around the globe will continue?”
Meanwhile,Republican street drunk Pete Hegseth was babbling on in Europe.
Has anyone given that slug a breathalyzer before he is allowed to speak?
GOPer’s already knocking the knucklehead

Bad days coming at Trump….
WAIT…..
I’m still “ waiting “ for those so called Republican “ moderates” that you’ve been claiming ,for going on nine years now ,were going to turn on Trump and do him in.
They are nothing but useless, gutless cowards who deserve nothing but total and complete contempt.So they run their mouth a little bit..Big f******g deal!
They are scared to death of Trump and his band of MAGA idiots who totally dominate the Republican Party.
You still don’t get it.
So here we go again.You assuring us that those Republicans are going to show Trump etc etc.When it comes to all things Trump,you completely lack any credibility and your breathless postings of how “ bad” things are going to happen to Trump are nothing more than the idle musings of a clown like figure with your overworked babble of “ wait.”
Trump owns the Republican Party which is nothing more than a cult anxiously awaiting their leader’s approval.While you read some little irrelevant tidbit and then figuratively yell “ aha!Trumps going to get it now! Wait!”
Gross silliness!
Agreed on the….’They are nothing but useless, gutless cowards who deserve nothing but total and complete contempt.So they run their mouth a little bit..Big f******g deal!
They are scared to death of Trump and his band of MAGA idiots who totally dominate the Republican Party…’
BUT?
Quietly?
They WILL HAVE TO push back against the Big Guy to save their asses…..
Wait….
I WILL highlight those moves….
And they are coming sooner than you think…
A response to your Republican apologies stuck in moderation
