After a six week reiew of programs funded by USAID, the United States State Department has cancelled 83% of them as being not helpful and in some cases actually harmful to the core mission of US diplomacy. Secretary of State Marco Rubio publicly thanked DOGE for uncovering the waste and fraud in the heavily woke agenda of USAID and the types of programs is was funding.

Secretary Rubio said that the remaining 17% of programs deemed beneficial would be administered directly by the State Department going forward. The State Department will be working with Congress on the details of that.

USAID had become a rogue agency, throwing away money on ideological agendas instead of real foreign aid. It is a good thing that waste and fraud has now been eliminated.

It was a clear beautiful, royal blue sky day on Wall Street. The S & P futures were up markedly, awaiting a positive open, as I turn to get my first cup of coffee. I return to CNBC to get the morning business news, when I notice that the S & P futures are falling, and they're falling fast.
