| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] DOGE announced on Tuesday that the Inter-American Foundation has been slashed in accordance with an executive order the president signed last month deeming it 'unnecessary.' The only employee left at the agency now is Peter Marocco, who previously presided over the Trump administration's gutting of the foreign aid programs at the United States Agency for International Development and the state department, according to The Guardian. Marocco was appointed to head the agency on Friday, it reports. The headcount at the independent federal agency prior to DOGE's onslaught was 48, and the average employee salary was $131,000 each year, according to Musk's department. 'The Inter-American Foundation, an agency whose primary action was to issue federal grants ($60million budget), has been reduced to its statutory minimum (1 active employee),' DOGE posted to its X account on Tuesday ahead of Trump's Address to the Joint Congress. The agency was created by Congress in 1969 to issue grants to countries in Latin America and the Caribbean for 'localized community-led development,' according to its now defunct website. It awarded some 5,800 grants valued at more than $945 million since 1972, with 425 active projects as of October, according to The Guardian. [X]
