I’m thinking about all my brothers and sisters who never made it home, including many of my friends who were killed by the Taliban. On this Memorial Day, I’m pleading with the Senate: please bring our Defund the Taliban bill to a vote. Honor their sacrifice. Never forget. 🇺🇸

The Senate still hasn’t voted on our bill to defund the Taliban. The House passed the No Tax Dollars For Terrorists Act last year, yet tax dollars continue funding the Taliban. Please urge @JohnThune to schedule a vote. Thank you. Senator John Thune: (202) 224-2321

A few hours ago, $40M arrived in Kabul. This cash was moved to Afghanistan International Bank by the UN’s on-the-ground Finance and Budget Officer. These U.S. dollars will be moved to the Taliban’s Central Bank and exchanged for Afghani currency. Cash shipments have not stopped.

Hello Joe Rogan — Over $40 million is flown to Afghanistan weekly. This has been going on since the Taliban’s takeover during the Biden Administration. Pallets of U.S. cash are flown by chartered jets into Afghanistan. It’s then auctioned by the Taliban’s Central Bank and converted into Afghani currency. The converted cash is then distributed to local and international NGOs. All NGOs operating in Afghanistan are licensed by the Taliban. They pay taxes and fees to the Taliban. Their employees are vetted by the Taliban’s intelligence. The NGOs purchase goods and services only from a list of pre-approved Taliban businesses. Areas with Taliban supporters receive multiple rounds of aid, while the anti-Taliban communities get little to none. We have even documented multiple cases of U.S. cash and aid reaching the families of Taliban fighters and suicide bombers. We exposed the cash shipments to the Taliban with the help of Shawn Ryan. It led to the No Tax Dollars For Terrorists Act introduced by Rep. Tim Burchett Press Office. This legislation passed the House on June 23, 2025, and almost a year later, the U.S. Senate and Senator John Thune have still not voted on it. Our legislation (H.R. 260) will make it mandatory to report all cash shipments to Afghanistan and then defund the Taliban. They are a terrorist group. They don’t deserve a penny. Thank you for having Tim Burchett on your show. He’s the real deal. God bless. Joe Rogan

You have IEDs in America and a President sending $40 million a week to the Taliban. You have State officials regularly meeting with terrorists and a Senate that won’t pass HR6586 to defund the Taliban. What’s coming next will make 9/11 look like a dress rehearsal. Shawn Ryan

The bill to stop cash shipments to the Taliban has passed the House and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. It is now on the Senate calendar and ready for a full vote. Ask Senator @JohnThune to bring it to the floor for a final vote. Call (202) 224-2321. Thank you.

Senate Republicans can’t even pass a bill to stop funding the Taliban. They’ve had the No Tax Dollars For Terrorists Act since the House passed it unanimously in June 2025. Your tax dollars are going to terrorists. And they won’t even vote to cut it off. What’s the holdup?

Defund the Taliban Jim Risch. H.R. 260 is stalled in your committee. Schedule a vote.

Senate will not defund the Taliban this week. They’re delaying it again… next week, next week. It’s been stalled since June 23, 2025. Maybe next week I’ll go on Shawn Ryan and mention names. Let the American voters decide. Thanks but this’s unacceptable. Jim Risch.

Very Important Update Some Taliban-friendly staffers at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee are quietly making changes to our legislation that is supposed to defund the Taliban. The primary staffer involved is Thomas West, who lost his security clearance in August 2025. At President Trump’s direction, the Director of National Intelligence revoked his clearance for “politicization or weaponization of intelligence,” failure to safeguard classified information, and other “detrimental” conduct. Before joining the Senate as a Democratic staffer, Thomas West served as the Biden administration’s Special Representative to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, where he politicized intelligence, manipulated assessments, and whitewashed the Taliban. Thomas West joined the Democratic staff of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee only one month before the House of Representatives passed our No Tax Dollars For Terrorists Act. The bill was referred to that very Committee on June 23, 2025, where Thomas West has since been allowed to block it from advancing to a full Senate vote and is editing the legislation. The current edits include removing the two most important clauses: 1. Removing mandatory reporting to Congress on U.S. dollar and Afghani cash shipments that benefit the Taliban. 2. Removing mandatory reporting on NGOs that hire Taliban members, purchase goods and services from Taliban businesses, distribute aid to the Taliban fighters, whose NGO licenses were issued by the Taliban, and whose employees were vetted by the Taliban’s intelligence. The No Tax Dollars For Terrorists Act is meaningless without these two clauses. If there is no obligation to report it, taxpayer money will continue flowing to the Taliban. Thomas West is deliberately creating loopholes. He does not want to defund the Taliban. He openly advocates for increased U.S. government engagement with the Taliban. He has called them technocrats, sincere, and professionals. He continues treating the Taliban as a legitimate counterterrorism partner of the United States. Thomas West still maintains communications with senior Taliban and Haqqani Network members even though he is no longer the U.S. Representative to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. Thomas West is a Democratic staffer but the Foreign Relations Committee is Republican-controlled and led by Chairman James Risch of Idaho. This should not be tolerated. The Taliban is a terrorist group. Thomas West cannot be allowed to edit a bill intended to Defund the Taliban. Personally, I believe he should not even be near the Senate building or sensitive information after his security clearance was revoked. Please help spread this. Investigate and verify every claim for yourself. I am grateful for your support. Thank you. Shawn Ryan Rep. Tim Burchett Press Office
