Foreign aid should never be a blank check. When countries execute people for “blasphemy” or for converting religions, they forfeit the right to receive U.S. taxpayer dollars. That’s why I’ve introduced legislation to make our aid contingent on religious freedom.

American taxpayer dollars shouldn’t be paying to rebuild Venezuela’s oil infrastructure. It's going to cost billions, and the only people who truly profit from it are the oil companies, not American families that are already paying too much at the pump. If oil companies want to invest in Venezuela’s oil infrastructure, they can do it with their own money. That’s why I’m introducing legislation to make clear that U.S. taxpayer dollars cannot be used to do it. Our priority should be investing here at home, building energy we control, lowering costs for families, and ending our dependence on foreign oil, not propping up oil infrastructure abroad.

WATCH: Ramaswamy Exposes Foreign Aid as a Smokescreen for Covert U.S. Political Operations | Vivek Ramaswamy just unleashed on the entire premise of U.S. foreign aid. He claims it actually has little to do with helping other nations, instead serving as a cover for advancing progressive political agendas globally. Ramaswamy argued taxpayer dollars have long been misused to promote "LGBTQIA+ agendas" and "woke and DEI agendas," which only further alienate foreign nations and damage America's global standing. Vivek Ramaswamy stated; "The idea of foreign aid in some sense I don't think we should be using our taxpayer dollars even to help people in foreign countries when we should be helping our own citizens here at home first." "But the irony is it's not even going to help starving children in Africa." "That's just the smoke screen and the excuse to actually carry out a political agenda through the back door." "I think it was shameful that we're finding out about state funded media here in the united States. But I think equally bad is the fact that we're using that USAID, that foreign aid industrial complex to push progressive ideas." "LGBTQIA+ agendas. Woke and DEI agendas onto foreign countries that cause people in those other countries to actually hate the united States for values that most Americans don't even share." "In some ways, it's the financial cost that's bad but that's the least of it. It's actually the other effects of that illicit foreign aid that's hurting the United States even geopolitically in other ways."

Soybean farmer: The $20 billion that's been proposed for Argentina would be used to halt export taxes on soybeans leaving their country. Basically they would use our taxpayer dollars in order to provide further competition with US soybeans to the Chinese market. I personally don't want to see us giving taxpayer dollars to aid a competitor

‼️"You're really CONFLATING two EXTREMELY different things." This isn't taxpayer money going to our bases in Germany or South Korea—it's aid going to a foreign country. Glenn Greenwald shreds the claim that giving aid to Israel is the same as funding the U.S. military abroad.

🚨 Subcommittee Chair Marjorie Taylor Greene (Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸) Opens Hearing on How Foreign Aid Has Been Used to Undermine U.S. Interests Around the World “Whether it be individuals, churches, or businesses, the American people are the most generous people in the entire world. They should be the ones who decide where their money goes. They can choose if they want to donate to a charity, a school, a church, or a nonprofit. They can choose if they want to privately donate to a transgender salon in Mumbai. They can choose if they want to privately donate to the British Broadcasting Corporation. They can choose if they want to privately donate to the Wuhan Institute of Virology through EcoHealth Alliance, or to electric vehicles in Vietnam, or to changing the national census in Bangladesh to be more gender inclusive. That is something they should be able to choose, not be forced to fund by our government. “The Democrat-run USAID should not get to use our federal government—our U.S. taxpayer dollars— as their party piggy bank to push their radical agenda in countries that we have no business giving money to. 96% of all political contributions from USAID employees go to Democrat Party candidates or PACs. That’s 96%!”

The Israeli Foreign Ministry issued a statement minutes ago saying that we should abandon our attempt to get to Gaza and give THEM the aid docking in Ashkelon Port and that they would distribute this aid to the Palestinian people. Have they no shame?

🚨 BREAKING: Secretary of State Marco Rubio is expected to PERMANENTLY CUT OFF U.S. aid to Somalia after the country demolished a warehouse holding 76 TONS of American food, per Daily Wire. GOOD. Cut off the gravy train. Rubio said it perfectly. Foreign aid is NOT charity. It is U.S. TAXPAYER MONEY and it must serve the AMERICAN national interest. Caring about human rights and humanitarian need does not mean writing blank checks to governments that disrespect American generosity and destroy aid meant for starving people. America comes first. Every dollar must advance OUR foreign policy, OUR security, and OUR interests. No more endless aid. No more waste. No more disrespect. This is leadership. 🇺🇸

CBS: There’s been more than $32 Million dollars spent on a primary, the most expensive primary ever in the U.S. was it worth it? Thomas Massie: You’ll have to ask Israeli billionaire Miriam Adelson on May 20. The Israeli lobby tried to buy my vote for 14 years— my policy has always been, no country is special and no country deserves my constituents’ taxpayer dollars. So I’ve never voted for foreign aid, to Egypt, to Syria, to Israel or to Ukraine—but the ones in Israel since they are the biggest recipients of it, that makes them mad.
