USAID has been unaccountable to taxpayers for decades — funneling money to ridiculous (and in many cases, malicious) pet projects of entrenched bureaucrats with zero oversight.
 
🧵 Here are only a few examples of the WASTE and ABUSE:
— $1.5 million to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities”
 
— $70,000 for production of a "DEI musical" in Ireland
 
— $2.5 million for electric vehicles for Vietnam

— $47,000 for a “transgender opera” in Colombia
 
— $32,000 for a “transgender comic book” in Peru
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
— $2 million for sex changes and “LGBT activism” in Guatemala

— $6 million to fund tourism in Egypt

— Hundreds of thousands of dollars for a non-profit linked to designated terrorist organizations (even AFTER an inspector general launched an investigation)

— Millions to EcoHealth Alliance, which was involved in research at the Wuhan lab

“Hundreds of thousands of meals that went to Al Qaeda-affiliated fighters in Syria”
washingtontimes.com/news/2024/nov/…
— Funding to print “personalized” contraceptives birth control devices in developing countries

— Hundreds of millions of dollars to fund “irrigation canals, farming equipment, and even fertilizer used to support the unprecedented poppy cultivation and heroin production in Afghanistan,” benefiting the Taliban

The list literally goes on and on — and it has all been happening for decades.
 
Under President Trump, the waste, fraud, and abuse ENDS NOW.

President Donald J. Trump campaigned on a list of “20 core promises to Make America Great Again” — and in just six months, he has unquestionably delivered.

PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT!

🧵 Thread Image
1. Seal the border and stop the migrant invasion: “We will close the border. We will stop the invasion of illegals into our country.”

✅ PROMISE KEPT: Under President Trump, the number of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border are at historic lows and border wall construction has resumed. Last month, illegal border crossings were the lowest ever recorded, while this fiscal year is on track to see the fewest illegal crossings in five decades. For two straight months, zero illegals were released into the country’s interior.
2. Carry out the largest deportation operation in American history: “We will begin the largest deportation operation in the history of our country.”

✅ PROMISE KEPT: Every single day, the Trump Administration is removing illegal immigrant killers, rapists, gangbangers, drug traffickers, and other violent criminals off our streets — and sending them back.

The CEO of PBS just said she "can't make any sense of an argument that we are somehow biased in any way" on public broadcasting.

Luckily, we have plenty of examples of the biased trash that passes as "news" at PBS and NPR:

🧵
PBS staff used 162 variations of “far right” labels and only six “far left” labels, an astounding ratio of 27 to 1, according to @newsbusters. Image
One study found that on so-called "gender ideology" stories, PBS News Hour dedicated 90%+ of the airtime to leftist views.

There's nothing independent about PBS.

Do you know why ICE agents are facing a 700% increase in assaults? Just listen to the deranged, inciting rhetoric Democrats use to describe them.

These Democrats are truly sick people. THREAD:
.@RepJeffries, who implores people to “fight” the Trump Administration “in the streets” and declares that ICE agents “will be unsuccessful” in protecting their identities “no matter what it takes.”


.@RepJayapal, who calls ICE agents “deranged” and  says it is “inspiring” to obstruct immigration enforcement.

The heroes of ICE are under siege by deranged politicians — but undeterred in their mission.

Every day, they're getting public safety threats off our streets.

Here are just a few of the illegal immigrant killers, rapists, and other criminals they’ve arrested recently. 🧵
Andrew Da Silva, a 30-year-old citizen of Brazil, was arrested by @EROBoston. He has convictions for second-degree child molestation and sexual assault in Providence, RI, and is a registered sex offender. Image
Gerber R. Rosil-Galdamez, a 41-year-old citizen of Guatemala, was arrested by @EROBuffalo. He has a conviction for rape in Suffolk County, NY. Image

While Democrats spend the day launching desperate, hollow attacks in a last-ditch effort to block President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill, the FACTS speak for themselves.

🧵
MYTH: The One Big Beautiful Bill is "just a tax break for billionaires."

FACT: The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers the largest middle- and working-class tax cut in U.S. history. The President's legislation will put more than $10,000 a year back in the pockets of typical hardworking families. This is the most pro-growth, pro-worker, pro-family legislation ever crafted.
MYTH: The One Big Beautiful Bill "takes from the poor to give to the rich."

FACT: The lowest-income workers receive the largest percentage tax cuts. The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers the largest tax cut in history for working-and -middle class Americans.
