Recent stories reveal troubling dysfunction within the Trump administration regarding national security and humanitarian assistance. Reports indicate that over 300 personnel were fired at the National Nuclear Security Administration, an action that appears to have been executed without proper understanding of the agency's responsibilities. Concurrently, the USAID issued a memo restricting employees from discussing the significant disruptions in humanitarian aid, misleadingly claiming a correction of misconceptions in the media.

The memo claims to be correcting a "false narrative in the press" about the disruptions to that assistance.
