We're diving deep into this "aid" agency's controversial history and questionable spending of your hard-earned tax dollars. From its CIA origins to mind-boggling projects around the globe, we're exposing it all: * $20 Million on Iraqi Sesame Street?! * Transgender operas in Colombia * Weapon-counting textbooks in Afghanistan * Syphilis experiments in Guatemala But wait, there's more! We're tackling everything from misinformation campaigns to poppy fields, Cuban Twitter to condoms in Gaza. Is USAID a force for good or a rogue agency gone wild? Join us as we unravel the good, the bad, and the absolutely bizarre in international aid.
