Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Chip Roy introduced legislation Friday that would abolish the beleaguered U.S. Agency for International Development.

Ms. Greene, Georgia Republican, and Mr. Roy, Texas Republican, want to turn the president’s desire into law and permanently abolish the USAID, which delivers billions of dollars in aid to over 100 countries but also spends piles of money on what White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt calls “crap.”
The president’s zeal to ax the agency was spurred in part by Elon Musk, the leader of Mr. Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, who accused the USAID of being filled with “a viper’s nest of radical-left marxists who hate America.”
Ms. Greene, who chairs the House’s Delivering on Government Efficiency subcommittee, called the agency “the Democrats’ taxpayer-funded slush fund” used to push their agenda abroad.
“As Chairwoman of the DOGE Subcommittee, I’ve launched the War on Waste — and USAID is a major culprit lighting over $40 BILLION on fire each year,” she said, in a statement. “It’s time to do what DOGE does best: cut the waste.”
