Of course, the shutdown of USAid was unconstitutional. That just doesn't matter to our President.

A federal judge on Tuesday blocked Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency from firing any more USAID employees or terminating USAID contracts, writing that efforts to speedily shut down the aid organization were likely unconstitutional.
The Trump administration's shutdown efforts "likely violated the United States Constitution in multiple ways," wrote Judge Theodore D. Chuang.
Chuang wrote that the accelerated process "deprived the public's elected representatives in Congress of their constitutional authority to decide whether, when, and how to close down an agency created by Congress."
Since President Donald Trump took office and established DOGE on Jan. 20, almost all of USAID's workers have been placed on administrative leave and up to 50% of its employees have been terminated, according to Chuang's ruling.
