White House installs Trump loyalist to lead independent agency in push to reduce foreign aid
submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/MicroWave
Summary
The White House appointed Peter Marocco, a Trump loyalist, as head of the Inter-American Foundation (IAF), removing its president and board in an effort to cut foreign aid.
Staff were placed on leave, and grants were canceled. Marocco and Elon Musk’s DOGE assumed control, despite legal challenges from Congress and agency leadership.
Democrats condemned the move as unlawful, arguing only Congress can dismantle the IAF.
The IAF website was taken offline as opposition to the takeover grew.

Rebohle was later contacted and hired by Valve. Wine already had a D3D11 compatibility layer, but it wasn’t nearly as far ahead as DXVK at the time. It’s fair to say that Linux gaming wouldn’t exist in its current form if not for one guy’s appreciation for Nier Automata. Rebohle still works at Valve, currently conributing to VKD3D-Proton.

Even The Wall Street Journal thinks Trump’s tariffs are ‘the dumbest’
submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/MicroWave
Summary
The Wall Street Journal slammed Trump’s new 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada as “the dumbest” move, warning they harm allies, not adversaries.
The editorial suggested retaliation could pressure Trump to reverse course. The stock market reacted negatively, showing concerns about Trump’s economic policies in a second term.
The Journal also recently criticized Trump’s stance on Ukraine, U.S. withdrawal from Europe, and his sovereign wealth fund plans, highlighting broader worries about his policy direction.
Military briefing: Ukraine to run out of US weapons by summer
submitted by https://sopuli.xyz/u/misk
A shortage of interceptor missiles for the five US-made Patriot systems in use by Ukraine would represent a major blow to the country’s defensive capabilities, just as Russia has been expanding its drone and missile strike campaign deep within Ukraine.
If the country’s military was forced to stop using the most sophisticated air defence system in its arsenal, “eventually, Ukraine would need to do a difficult prioritisation,” says Emil Kastehelmi, an analyst monitoring the war for the Finland-based Black Bird Group. “Do you defend an airfield, or a power plant, or a factory making weapons?”
(…)
“We have no real substitute for the Himars” says Pavlo Narozhny, a Ukrainian military analyst and co-founder of Reactive Post, an organisation supporting Ukrainian artillery units.
The Himars launchers have also enabled Ukraine to use long-range Atacams missiles to hit targets in Russia, as far as 300km away. Narozhny said that Kyiv has UK and French Storm Shadow and Scalp long-range missiles, “but they aren’t the same, they’re much slower and easier to intercept”.
(…)
While not part of the formal US support paused by Washington, the most immediately harmful move for frontline units in Ukraine would be a shutdown of Elon Musk’s Starlink system, a satellite-powered internet provider whose use has become ubiquitous among Ukrainian forces thanks to its speed and reliability.
“If Starlink is shut down, problems will start immediately,” Yehor Firsov, a former Ukrainian MP now serving in the military, https://archive.is/o/MLDVD/https://www.facebook.com/firsov.egor/posts/pfbid0Ez5Yzq81HYg5EizWeuJ3aQN1v1tSAE3fk6inUHEcwQJydzCBP9A2KVFHWwMbnVxcl
. “Infantry in defensive dugouts, intelligence, drone and artillery crews, brigade and battalion headquarters . . . everyone uses Starlink.”

Trump purge hits Chips Act office, two-fifths of staff to be terminated: Report
submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/MicroWave
Summary
The Trump administration has laid off 60 employees, cutting two-fifths of the U.S. Chips Program Office, which manages the Chips and Science Act.
The cuts include 20 voluntary resignations and 40 probationary employees terminated by Monday.
Trump opposes the Chips Act, which allocated $52 billion for U.S. semiconductor production, favoring economic tariffs over direct funding.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick credits tariffs for TSMC’s new $100 billion U.S. investment. The future of the Chips Office remains uncertain, with potential further cuts ahead.
