No replacement has happened yet. No improvement has happened yet. They're just firing people, cancelling contracts, and cancelling leases.

That's not true.
Look at USAID: they canceled everything, but there was a significant outcry about PEPFAR specifically. Now PEPFAR is back, and likely to stay.
As far as I can tell, they made an exception for pepfar but its funds are still frozen, due either to malice or incompetence. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/health/trump-usaid-pepfar...
I sincerely don't understand what this proves. You're citing an example of them making a bad cut and having to reverse it. What part of that is an improvement?
we get the whole US AID budget back, aside from PEPFAR. it's a good example of a case where they cut too much and undid some cuts.
