Last week, with one fell stroke of his pen, President Donald Trump and government efficiency lead Elon Musk achieved something many on the Left could have only dreamed of in decades past—enacting a pause and review of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

But instead of seeing liberal support, the move caused Democratic officials and voters to rally in defense of the now-embattled organization.

As Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said on the picket line himself, Congress created USAID "for the American people." Trump's "America First" movement seems to believe reforming the organization is what best serves U.S. citizens.
