Rubio targets democracy and human rights bureau in major shakeup

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : The reorganization follows the Trump administration's effective elimination of the U.S. Agency of International Development (USAID), an independent branch of the State Department, with an estimated $40 billion budget focused largely on humanitarian aid.
45% : Democrats and human rights advocates accuse the administration the abdicating U.S. soft power on the global stage. USAID's elimination was largely handled by Elon Musk and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which critics say took a sledgehammer approach with no concern for harm or consequences to America's security and relationships.
