This isn't a discussion about shutting down an agency that was created by executive order.

It's a discussion about a bunch of anonymous sources and 'someone close to said' making extraordinary claims.

These claims need evidence - and "but I don't like what is happening with the Agency for International Development" is entirely irrelevant.

You are right that "This is not just a small understanding about read vs write access" though; it is a deliberate media blitz to insert the idea that this is happening into the cultural consciousness with absolutely 0 evidence.

If someone chimes in with some facts that can be validated from first party sources then I'll be happy to re-evaluate. This is just fear mongering as it is written today.
