They used to publish annual reports every year. They included measuring performance on relevant indicators, and financial information. All audited by the OIG. Musk has not blocked access to the archives yet, so the reports up to 2016 can still be downloaded. https://2012-2017.usaid.gov/results-and-data/progress-data/agency-financial-report Personally, I have nothing against publishing details, but not the current propaganda circus by SM posts.

Translation, I'm not going to waste my time with you.

You defy me! BTW, I was not replying to you.

It used to be accessible (probably not at a granular level), in USAID annual reports. However since Musk took over, this information is censored. A good way to make sure that Musk's tweets cannot be cross-checked! When one clicks on any annual report link showed by Google, that's what always comes up!

USAID - Dems in full delusional mode as usual

You are posting propaganda misinformation again. The East-West Management Institute cited in the article is not an Open Society organization and has been funded by plenty of other organisations. (And BTW, it's activity was quite legit). https://ewmi.org/donors-and-partners -

Thank you for linking this this interesting article. How does it contradict the fact that Twitter/X has to pay an annual interest of around $1.2 billion? -
In the MAGA alternate reality, certainly! 🙂

Trump Revives Plan to Build $100 Million White House Ballroom
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
It will certainly not be his own money! He will ask his MAGA fans to contribute and they will happily oblige! 🙂 -
But you're a troll! 🙂

Wnd! Can't you find a more crappy source! 😆

You should ask him about the facts supporting his claims! 🙂

Trump’s Bold Proposal to End Gaza’s Cycle of Suffering
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Not as simple as you present it, Palestinian would actually have received 73%, possibly extensible to a maximum of 92% (by Israel definition of the West Bank. On top of it, the Palestinian territory would have not been contiguous. Arafat didn't not trust the Israeli for the extension and thought he was being scammed. He may have been right, in particular when considering that the Israeli RW was against it. "Based on the Israeli definition of the West Bank, Barak offered to form a Palestinian state initially on 73% of the West Bank (that is, 27% less than the Green Line borders) and 100% of the Gaza Strip. In 10–25 years, the Palestinian state would expand to a maximum of 92% of the West Bank (91 percent of the West Bank and 1 percent from a land swap).[14][16] From the Palestinian perspective this equated to an offer of a Palestinian state on a maximum of 86% of the West Bank.[14]" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_Camp_David_Summit -

It's quite good, in particular as revenue is not $5 billion but $2.9 billion. However, it's before interest, so it will be likely a loss considering it must pay $1.2 billion interest. https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news/x-formerly-twitter-struggling-to-make-money/738836/ -

It's time that USAID stops funding pro-democracy movements! Oh wait! 😆 Iran praises US for cutting foreign aid funding as it looks for a Trump message on nuclear talks President Donald Trump's moves to freeze spending on foreign aid and overhaul, maybe even end, the U.S. Agency for International Development have been lauded in Iranian state media. The reports say the decisions will halt funding for opponents of theof the country's Shiite theocracy — pro-democracy activists and others supported through programs as part of U.S. government's efforts to help democracy worldwide. https://www.yahoo.com/news/iran-praises-us-cutting-foreign-050815942.html
