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
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
— $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
dailycaller.com/2024/09/19/fed…
— $6 million to fund tourism in Egypt
2017-2020.usaid.gov/egypt/press-re…
— 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
washingtonexaminer.com/news/486983/us…
“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
3dprintingindustry.com/news/pharme3d-…
— 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.

The Trump Administration is unleashing a relentless assault to dismantle the Somali-dominated fraud empires in Minnesota.

These complex criminal networks didn't build themselves overnight — and rooting it out requires thorough, methodical work.

🧵
whitehouse.gov/articles/2026/…
.@TheJusticeDept is currently engaged in multiple active, ongoing, and extensive investigations into the fraudulent activity that has occurred in various Minnesota programs, including the state’s Feeding Our Future, Housing Stabilization Services, Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention programs, and Evergreen Recovery.

— To date, DOJ has charged 98 defendants in Minnesota fraud-related cases — 85 of whom are of Somali descent. 64 the defendants have already been convicted.

— DOJ has already issued over 1,750 subpoenas, executed over 130 search warrants, and conducted over 1,000 witness interviews as part of its ongoing investigation.

Many of the facilities and schemes visited in @nickshirleyy's and @AlphaNews's tenacious reporting are currently under active investigation by the DOJ; in fact, one of the buildings prominently featured in Shirley's video has had 13 defendants charged for fraud.

— The @FBI is conducting investigations into dozens of the state’s health care and home care providers accused of fraud, surging forensic accountants and data analytics teams, and investigating potential links to elected officials and terrorist financing.
.@DHSgov is on the ground conducting door-to-door investigations of suspected fraud sites in Minnesota, with hundreds of Homeland Security Investigations officers in the state and more on the way.

— DHS has arrested over 1,000 criminal illegal aliens in just the past few weeks as immigration enforcement operations continue.

—Additionally, as part of Operation Twin Shield earlier this year, DHS identified over 1,300 fraud findings based on site visits in Minneapolis and Saint Paul — and is currently in the process of determining which cases require additional vetting, including for refugee status and potential denaturalization.

ABC “News” is not journalism — it’s a Democrat spin operation masquerading as a broadcast network.

They have a LONG, rich tradition of peddling lies, conspiracies, and outright opinion veiled as fact.

🧵
In 2017, ABC suspended investigative reporter Brian Ross after he falsely reported that President Trump had directed Michael Flynn to contact Russian officials before the 2016 election.

In 2020, ABC suspended veteran correspondent David Wright after he was caught identifying himself as a “socialist” and admitting the network pushes an anti-Trump agenda and airs stories designed for profit, not news.

As President Donald J. Trump said, "House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax."

Why haven't Democrats shown the same transparency — and what else are they hiding? 🧵
Why aren’t Democrats talking about the fact that Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-U.S. Virgin Islands) solicited (and was given) $30,000 from Epstein for the DCCC after he was already a convicted sex offender?

Or the fact that Plaskett herself accepted maxed out donations from Epstein for her own campaign?

Or the fact that the wife of the former Democrat governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands told Epstein “we would have a friend in Stacey” if he made said donations?

Or the fact that Plaskett was literally texting Epstein during a committee hearing?
Why aren’t Democrats talking about the fact that former President Bill Clinton traveled on Epstein’s aircraft 26 times?

Or the fact that one of Epstein’s victims wrote that she saw Clinton on Epstein’s island with two young women?

Or the fact that Clinton’s visit to the island was corroborated by one of his former top aides?

"I don't know and I don't care," says petulant baby @RubenGallego when asked about his past shutdown comments.

Here's a reminder —

2013: You can't "shutdown the government... and still claim to be a Patriot"

2019: "Putting the country in danger"

2023: "Put country before party"
2013: You can't "shutdown the government and destroy the economy and still claim to be a Patriot."

— Ruben Gallego
2019: "TSA agents, FDA food inspectors, air traffic controllers are working with out pay. Soon many will quit to find work that pays the bills. This shut down is putting the country in danger."

— Ruben Gallego

FACT: Evidence suggests acetaminophen use in pregnant women, especially late in pregnancy, may cause long-term neurological effects in their children. Image
Large-scale cohort studies — including the Nurses’ Health Study II and the Boston Birth Cohort — report associations between in utero exposure and later diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Image
