What other pet causes and activities of the Left have been getting paid for by USAID, and more broadly, by other various federal agencies?

We were paying for it. Not Bill Gates. Not George Soros.

Politico should be required to refund the "premium" subscription to the federal government.

Many of us have been assuming this for quite a while.

Wasn’t Politico the one which was always fact checking Trump and pushing Dem talking points? Have they published exactly how much the gummit paid them?

The value of the First Amendment becomes apparent. You can get away with a lot, with a lying “press” covering for you. You can get the “press” to lie by throwing money at them.

This beats all get out.

Shakeup Congress on social media.

Attach news clips, other relevant documents, links.

Message: USAID tax dollars went to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s “Archwell Foundation.” Royals pocketed $13,004,470 tax dollars. Harry’s got US tax dollars and he’s not even a US citizen. Their lavish lifestyle includes: globe-trotting in a private jet, living in a huge luxe mansion in ritzy Santa Barbara.

We demand this money be returned to struggling working class taxpayers at once.

The information about the subscriptions came from a publicly available database that had been in existence for years.

There was an article on FR this morning (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4297775/posts) whining about some poor taxi driver in Uganda and his loss of USAID support.

He’s married to a woman and it implies he has a HIV positive homosexual “partner.”

He’s complaining because the United States taxpayers aren’t buying his condoms and lube anymore.

This freak needs to be used in DOGE ads.

The DNC has already lost.

The Supreme Court’s decision in Mississippi v. Johnson reinforced the separation of powers by affirming that the judiciary could not enjoin the President from performing his executive duties, particularly those involving discretion. This case set a precedent for the immunity of the President from judicial injunctions concerning discretionary actions.

Mississippi v. Johnson, 71 U.S. 475, 18 L. Ed. 437, 4 Wall. 475, 1866 U.S. LEXIS 897

It is all true...and more. Let’s see some people in handcuffs for this blatant and long-standing theft of money from US Citizen Taxpayers. I’m sure handcuffs come on all sizes. They will even fit some our our “leader” class.

Brazen waste, fraud, and misuse of taxpayer funds.

Yes most of it caused by to many voters allowed it to happen by not having the wits to know who and what the hell they were voting for.

The democrat party have had them trained for years their end result make America California.

Isn’t it amazing to see the huge massive protests against DOGE?

Oh wait, it’s a handful of effeminate “men” and childless blue haired cat ladies.

The rest of the rabble are staying home because they aren’t getting paid to protest.

Trump should hone in on this illicit waste of money. He can stick it to those grifters with just a few well chosen words.

Yes but....... the judges can still rule and then the ruling must be contested in courts that take forever to make a decision.

There must be a war on the judges where they are indicted for something. Then their houses, their summer houses, their offices, their wife’s underwear drawer, their lawyers offices are thoroughly searched. Any and all computers tablets and phones must be confiscated. Their lives must be thoroughly and totally disrupted. Their wives must be subjected to unending shame. Their children must be hounded out of school.

The judges must be absolutely destroyed
