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.

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.

President Donald J. Trump has never wavered in his stance that Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon — a pledge he has made repeatedly, both in office and on the campaign trail.

🧵 Here are only a few examples:
“You cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. You cannot let it happen because bad things will happen if that happens.” (6/24/23)
“No nuclear weapons. You can’t give [Iran] nuclear weapons.” (7/15/23)

The ruling on @POTUS’s tariffs is blatantly wrong — and we are confident this decision will be overturned on appeal.

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 🧵
FACT: Congress, not the courts, was provided the authority to review and terminate emergency declarations — and this was ALREADY adjudicated when the Senate rejected an effort to terminate @POTUS's reciprocal tariffs.
FACT: A ruling in federal court earlier this month shows that @POTUS is in the right and that we will win on appeal.

A federal district judge in Florida ruled that IEPPA does, in fact, grant the President the authority to unilaterally impose tariffs. Image
