United States — Jeremiah A Carew

A year on from the purge, with thousands of jobs cut and billions in foreign aid lost, a former leader reflects on the sorry saga – and why it would never happen to Nasa

A year has passed since I and thousands of colleagues lost our jobs at USAID. Asking myself “Why us?” I have come to the conclusion that the American public had very little idea of what we were doing and why.

At that moment of chaos, Americans lacked the knowledge that could contradict the false narrative presented by Musk , who called the agency a “criminal organisation” and “a viper’s nest of radical left-marxists who hate America”.
