USAID Website Goes Offline as Trump Continues to Dismantle Government

gizmodo.com — February 1, 2025

The website for USAID, the U.S. government agency that distributes foreign aid, went down on Saturday, and it’s unclear when it may return. The outage comes as every federal website has been ordered to erase forbidden words, though USAID’s outage could related to reports that Donald Trump plans to put most of the agency under control of the U.S. State Department, according to Reuters.
