NEW: Today, we sent the first rescissions package to Capitol Hill.
This package contains BILLIONS in wasteful foreign aid and federal funding for NPR and PBS.
Here’s just some of the waste, fraud, and abuse identified: 🧵
$67,000 for testing insect powder nutrition on children in Madagascar.
$33,000 for “Being LGBTI in the Caribbean.”
$643,000 for LGBTQI+ programs in the Western Balkans.
$567,000 for LBGTQI+ programs in Uganda.
Scores of DEI and Global Green New Deal funding, including:
$5 million for the "Minority Serving Institute Fellowship Cooperative Agreement."
$595,400 for training women in gender equity.
$500,000 for electric buses in Rwanda.
$6 million for “net zero cities” in Mexico.
$2.1 million for climate resilience in Southeast Asia, Latin America, &East Africa.
$5 million for “green transportation and logistics” in Eurasia.
$4 million for “legume systems research.”
$3 million for Iraqi Sesame Street.
Millions under the PEPFAR account for so-called LGBTQIA+ programs, condoms, & vasectomies:
$833,000 for "transgender people, sex workers and their clients and sexual networks" in Nepal.
$5.1 million for "resilience of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans gender, intersex,
and queer global movements."
$3 million for circumcision, vasectomies, and condoms in Zambia.
$1 billion in contributions to wasteful, corrupt, and anti-American international organizations, including $135 million to the World Health Organization.
$1.1 billion for the left-wing Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which uses your taxpayer dollars to fund PBS and NPR.
Now, Congress must act. They have 45 days to codify these massive cuts to woke, wasteful, and weaponized spending via a simple majority vote.

Today, we released President Trump's FY26 Discretionary Budget Request.
READ: ⬇️
The Budget reduces non-defense discretionary spending by $163 billion (23%), guts the weaponized deep state and provides historic increases for defense and border security. The Budget also provides support for air and rail safety, key infrastructure, and our Nation’s veterans and law enforcement.
This is the lowest non-defense spending level since 2017. Savings come from eliminating radical DEI and CRT programs, Green New Scam funding, eliminating Weaponization, and promoting federalism.
