For more than 12 years, Nicholas Enrich worked at USAID, the United States Agency for International Development, rising to become one of the agency's top global health officials. Then, in a matter of weeks, he watched as the Trump administration and Elon Musk's "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) dismantled the six-decade-old agency responsible for delivering American foreign aid around the world. 

Enrich documented the experience in his book Into the Wood Chipper: A Whistleblower's Account of How the Trump Administration Shredded USAID. He joined Current Affairs editor-in-chief Nathan J. Robinson to discuss what happened behind the scenes, and its devastating consequences.

This is what Mass Murder looks like.

Also the Gaza genocide got worse.

Nice work, protest-non-voting-lefties. I’d say to remember this when whoever you don’t like wins the nom for 2028, but it wouldn’t matter then either.

Not disputing that Trump is worse than Harris, but you could have picked an issue on which they disagreed.
