With all the nearly perpetual campaign talk on DoEd, why the attacks (restructuring activity) at USAID, CIA, FBI first?

USAID,
Good question. I saw a post on X that basically laid out the case that USAID, while only 0.5% of budget, is the lynch-pin that ties together bigger fraud. USAID is kinda like the "fraud slushfund" that is used to keep the media narratives and dozens of NGO all in line.
With USAID providing the unchecked payoffs, this keeps the bigger frauds perpetuating since there are no media outlets / NGO to run interference.
Its going to be very interesting to see how media coverage on these issues changes if places like CNN now actually need to compete for viewership to stay alive.

USAID has a history of being the most recalcitrant agency because they have no direct supervisor except the President or Sec State
created by executive order in 1961

Maybe they're just easy targets? I have no clue, but any agency they cut is good.
