We reported the other day how Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) called out his Democratic colleagues and some of the "tofu-eating wokeratti" for "screaming like they're part of a prison riot because they don't want us reviewing the spending."
He was at it again on Thursday on the floor of the Senate, where he nuked the Democrats and USAID from orbit, listing some of the things that the Democrats didn't want you to hear about.
Ready to have your mind blown?
Senator John Kennedy on Elon Musk and DOGE exposing USAID, “I'll tell you what Mr. Musk discovered. I find it fascinating. He discovered:

“I could go all night and many of my colleagues are upset. They're really mad at Mr. Musk. Hell, I think we ought to give him a medal”
As good as he is and as much as I like him.....he voted for this.
THE BEST PART—IMO-—HE READ IT ALL OUT LOUD SO IT IS PART OF THE PERMANENT RECORD OF THE SENATE
Will we be getting a report on how much money we are giving to Israel?
Probably not enough. Israel is the one country that doesn’t appear to be batshit crazy marxist....
Great link—he says he was deceived.
Maybe so.
Butt...Butt...Butt... Mad Maxine and her RAThole Walkers are saying millions of foreign freeloaders and malingerers have starved to death since Trump stopped all of the USAID money being shipped to foreign dictators and politicians with low bank account balances. These are the same Turd Rolling Walkers who think nothing about killing millions of AMERICAN BABIES who are not entitled to USAID taxpayer dollars to use to bribe the murdering abortionist and save their lives.
He knew, but until Trump came along, there was nothing they could do about it.
Ok newbie. Israel is a genuine friend and ally, in a constant existential struggle agains terrorists and their Arab/Muslim backers.
Pi$$ off back to DU.
Someone added those distracting colorful captions to the video.
One of Sen John Kennedy’s gems: calling Democrats “tofu-eating wokeratti”.............
He killed one in every ten? Way to go!
Flood the airwaves with the results of this audit.. EVERYDAY!
Musk is spending $40 million dollars to air Super Bowl ads. This is a glorious time to be American.
“BREAKING: Elon Musk is reportedly running 5 Super Bowl commercials that expose Government Waste that @DOGE has found through USAID,” the update read on February 6. To get into a bit more detail, with his newfound powers to head the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk is supposedly trying to expose the “controversial” Government wing of USAID. What’s more?
He has reportedly picked the Super Bowl as the right opportunity to get America’s attention and expose what’s going on behind the scenes. Well, the thing is, Musk has recently described USAID as a “viper’s nest of radical-left Marxists who hate America.” For those who aren’t in the loop about what’s going on—USAID is being criticized for overspending American taxpayers’ money to send humanitarian assistance to more than 100 countries.
Is there a video?
I cannot find a link to the video.
We had better be getting one ... Nobody gets a pass, here. Maybe every penny we have ever given Israel has legitimately supported American interests and policy. Maybe not.
Either way, we have a right to know.
You are correct. All these people currently in Congress saying they didn’t know about this. They funded the $40 Billion! No one thought about saying...hey, that’s a lot of friggen money, maybe we should find out where it goes. $40
billion a year is too much foreign aid to be giving away. And that’s just the one agency. It seems every agency does ‘grants’ for pet projects. I want all the special projects and foreign aid shut down, at leas until there is transparency on all of it.
$1.5 million seems to be a popular amount. Is that the “petty cash” limit?
