USAID didn’t fail. It fed 127,000 kids—then was erased mid-crisis. No speech. No tribute. Just silence. They didn’t end a program. They liquidated a covenant. The last American promise not built on conquest—but care. 🔗 thelastmilewithusaid.substack.com

On June 30, 2025, Obama called the dismantling of USAID “a colossal mistake.” Bush said it saved 25 million lives. Bono mourned: “They called you crooks… when you were the best of us.” No ticker-tape. No farewell. Just silence as something precious was buried. 🔗 www.politico.com/news/2025/06...
