While there is clearly a massive amount of waste and abuse in USAID, Congress should be very careful to guard its powers against usurpation by the executive. The last thing this (or any) country needs is too much power concentrated in one person and the presidency has already been accumulating too much power for at least a couple of decades as members of Congress want the perks and the praise but none of their constitutional responsibilities.

I'm not at all sure it's OK for this to play out without Congressional involvement even though I understand that Congressional involvement might just keep the swamp from being drained. It's a REALLY tough situation from a constitutional perspective.

If you order small items from China from sites like Temu or Shein (specializing in inexpensive clothing) or AliExpress (where I shop a lot for small electronic parts, wire, switches, etc), you may be unable to do so for a while until the China tariff and "de minimis" exception situations are worked out. I tend to spend $10 or $20 at a time and a 10% tariff, while annoying, wouldn't stop me from buying. But obviously being unable to actually receive the stuff would stop me.
