👹 The U.S. Agency for International Development declared almost all direct hires around the world will be placed on administrative leave after the Trump administration made changes to the organization that crippled the group's mission. Meanwhile, the CIA became the latest agency to offer buyouts to nearly its entire workforce. NBC’s Ryan Nobles reports for TODAY on how it's all a continuation of the government overhaul steered by Elon musk.

CIA's buyout offers were announced on Tuesday, marking a significant shift as the CIA seeks to concentrate on areas like drug cartels, Trump’s economic strategies, and countering China’s influence, rather than standard Deep State goals. This overhaul comes at a time when Trump has announced John Ratcliffe as the new CIA director, emphasizing a focus on the Western Hemisphere, particularly countries not typically seen as U.S. adversaries.
