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
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.

🧵 Here are some examples of the trash that has passed as “news” at NPR and PBS:

NPR ran a story titled “Cannibalism: It’s ‘Perfectly Natural,’” in which an author describes eating another human’s placenta. Image
In 2021, NPR declared the Declaration of Independence to be a document with “flaws and deeply ingrained hypocrisies.” Image

President Trump is right. The Fake News and Democrats are lying about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an MS-13 gang member.

🧵 Image
When Garcia was arrested, he was found with rolls of cash and drugs. Image
He was arrested with two other members of MS-13. Image

Brutal killers and rapists— all taken off our streets in just the past week thanks to the tireless work of ICE.

If Democrats and the media had their way, they would still be roaming free.

Here are just a few of the criminal illegals ICE has arrested in the past several days:🧵
Luis Olmedo Quishpi-Poalasin, a 35-year-old citizen of Ecuador, was arrested by ICE New York City. Quishpi has convictions for forcible rape, sexual abuse contact by forcible compulsion, rape and anal sexual contact with a person incapable of consent, unlawful imprisonment, forcible touching of intimate parts of another person, sexual misconduct by vaginal sexual contact without consent, and subjecting another person to sexual contact without consent in Brooklyn, New York.Image
Eduardo Garcia-Cortez, a 64-year-old, citizen of Honduras, was arrested by ICE Houston. Garcia has a conviction for murder in Los Angeles County, California. Image

When career politicians sold American workers out to foreign countries, not only were entire communities destroyed — lives were also shattered by higher rates of alcohol abuse, drug overdose, and suicide.

Studies have repeatedly shown the human impact of bad trade policies 🧵
A 2020 study in American Economic Review: Insights found that “areas more exposed to a plausibly exogenous change in international trade policy exhibit relative increases in fatal drug overdoses, specifically among whites.”

It concluded that there is “a relationship between a plausibly exogenous change in US trade policy and drug overdose fatalities among working-age whites, helping to explain the alarming rise in ‘deaths of despair’ among this group since 2000.”Image
A 2019 study in SSM-Population Health found that from 1999 to 2015, “job loss due to international trade is positively associated with opioid overdose mortality at the county-level.”

— “In general, the loss of 1,000 trade-related jobs was associated with a 2.7 percent increase in opioid-related deaths.”

— “When fentanyl was present, the same number of job losses was associated with a 11.3 percent increase in such deaths.”Image
