Coons Grills Rubio for Gutting Foreign Aid Programs & Ignoring Congress

Senator Chris Coons confronts Secretary Marco Rubio in a tense Senate hearing over the gutting of key foreign aid programs, the hollowing out of U.S. diplomatic institutions, and the administration's disregard for congressional oversight. Rubio faces pointed questions on the dismantling of the Global Fragility Act office, his failure to launch the already-funded U.S. Foundation for International Conservation, and a controversial $9 billion aid cut masked as “reform.”

Coons calls out what he sees as a dangerous pattern: cutting critical programs while hiding behind buzzwords like “efficiency” and “agility.” He warns that America can’t fight global instability, terrorism, and authoritarianism with a slashed budget and vague promises. This isn’t just about dollars—it’s about democracy, oversight, and U.S. credibility abroad.

If you're concerned about how your tax dollars are being spent, how Congress is being sidelined, and what this all means for America’s global role, this video is essential viewing. Coons doesn’t hold back—and neither should you.
