Biden White House to Blame for STRANDED Astronauts

Many of us have been stuck in places without a quick way to get home. If you’ve ever had to bunk down in an airport overnight after a cancelled flight, you know how desperately you just want to get home. But what if you were literally lost in space with no rocket to book a ride on? 

American astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams aren’t actually lost. We know where they are, it’s just that where they are is low-earth orbit in outer space. The International Space Station is their precise address. Like the crew and passengers on The Minnow from Gilligan’s Island, Wilmore and Williams were expecting a short trip but ended up with a “vacation” that has no definite end in sight. 

The two rocketed to the ISS in June of 2024 for what was supposed to be an eight-day mission. But Boeing’s troubled Starliner craft (does the company have any craft today that aren’t troubled?) broke down and NASA decided it was too risky to put humans on the ship for a ride back down to earth. Among other problems, the large capsule’s thrusters malfunctioned and the spaceship has been leaking helium.

Boeing competitor SpaceX, owned by Elon Musk, also produces space capsules to transport astronauts up and down, and the company is a NASA contractor like Boeing. For the past eight months Musk has made it clear that he would be happy to send the Crew Dragon capsule up to rescue the stranded Americans, but for some reason that has not happened. 

We may know, now, what that reason was. Wait for it because you’re going to be shocked: Butch Wilmore said Musk’s offer was “rebuffed” by the Biden White House. That’s in keeping with a Democratic administration that doesn’t seem to care about human lives enough to plan a military withdrawal without subjecting U.S. troops to deadly terrorist attacks. 

Musk himself is confirming this, stating on X/Twitter that the Biden White House “refused to allow it.” Now, President Trump has given the go-ahead and the astronauts are expected to return by the end of March, 2025. 

Let’s take a peak at the reaction online:

Adam Schiff’s Ukraine Connection Under Fire as Ciaramella Resurfaces

Adam Schiff's Ukraine Connection Under Fire as Ciaramella Resurfaces

CIA analyst and former National Security Council official Eric Ciaramella, the “whistleblower” connected to President Donald Trump’s 2019 impeachment, is back in the spotlight regarding Adam Schiff‘s connection to Ukraine.

Former Ukrainian diplomat Andrei Telashchenko alleged that he was present when Ciaramella met with then-President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden while they discussed Ukraine behind closed doors.

Telashchenko’s claims raise new concerns about Ciaramella’s role in U.S.-Ukraine relations during Obama’s presidency, notably with policies that became a key factor in the first impeachment of President Donald Trump.

Ciaramella was identified as the anonymous whistleblower during Trump’s impeachment inquiry after famously filing a complaint about Trump’s “perfect” phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The complaint was ultimately used to launch an impeachment vote in the House, led by then-chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff.

President Trump has long accused Schiff of lying and manipulating intelligence in order to push narratives that weaponized the government against him.

FBI Director Kash Patel, who played a crucial role in exposing the Trump “Russia Russia Russia” collusion hoax, is now digging deep into Schiff’s involvement. Patel said he has “strong feelings” about Schiff’s actions and probable ties to Ciaramella’s role in Ukraine-related controversies.

The sudden resurfacing of Ciaramella’s name into the spotlight has now reignited debate over the integrity of the 2019 impeachment proceedings against Trump.

Elon Musk responded to the revelations on X, writing:

“Did Adam Schiff commit treason? Sounds like he did.”

Watch:

More here:

WLT writer, Noah, asked Grok to analyze what Schiff may have allegedly done, and whether it could amount to treason, here’s what it said:

To construct the strongest argument supporting the claim that Adam Schiff committed treason, we must first define “treason” under U.S. law and then align the argument with available evidence and reasoning, while critically assessing the narrative. Treason, as defined in Article III, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, requires two elements: (1) levying war against the United States or adhering to its enemies, and (2) providing them aid and comfort. It also requires the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act or a confession in open court. The argument below is built on public statements, actions, and sentiment, particularly from critics, while acknowledging the legal threshold for treason is extraordinarily high and rarely met.

Argument: Adam Schiff Committed Treason by Fabricating Evidence to Undermine a Sitting President

Adam Schiff, as a prominent Democratic Representative and later Senator, is accused by critics of committing treason through his actions during the investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election and Donald Trump’s subsequent presidency. The core of the argument is that Schiff knowingly fabricated or exaggerated claims of evidence linking Trump to Russia, with the intent to destabilize a duly elected president, thereby aiding foreign adversaries and undermining the U.S. government.

  1. Claim of Fabricated Evidence: Critics assert that Schiff repeatedly claimed to possess concrete, classified evidence of Trump’s collusion with Russia to influence the 2016 election. For instance, during his tenure as the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Schiff stated on multiple occasions—such as in media appearances—that he had seen evidence of collusion that was more than circumstantial. However, when pressed to produce this evidence, particularly after the Mueller Report (released in April 2019) found no sufficient evidence to establish a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, Schiff allegedly failed to substantiate his claims. Posts on X and statements from Trump supporters highlight this, accusing him of lying about the Steele Dossier or other intelligence that was later debunked or unverified.
  2. Intent to Overthrow or Weaken the Government: The argument posits that Schiff’s actions were not mere political posturing but a deliberate attempt to overthrow or cripple Trump’s presidency. By promoting the “Russia collusion” narrative, Schiff is said to have led a campaign—supported by Democrats and media outlets—that amounted to a “coup” against a sitting president. Critics, including those on X, argue this was an act of sedition or treason because it sought to delegitimize the government’s executive branch, potentially inciting unrest or weakening U.S. leadership on the global stage. Trump himself amplified this view, calling Schiff’s actions “treason” and suggesting he should be arrested, as noted in posts and news reports from 2019 and beyond.
  3. Aid and Comfort to Enemies: The treason claim hinges on the idea that Schiff’s actions indirectly aided foreign enemies, particularly Russia. By amplifying a narrative of Russian interference without conclusive proof, he allegedly played into Russia’s hands—since sowing discord and distrust in U.S. institutions is a known tactic of foreign adversaries. If Schiff knowingly lied, the argument goes, he provided Russia with a propaganda victory, eroding American unity and credibility, thus giving “aid and comfort” to an enemy. This is a stretch legally but resonates with critics who see his actions as reckless or malicious.
  4. Public and Political Consequences: Schiff’s role in Trump’s first impeachment (2019-2020) over the Ukraine call—where he paraphrased Trump’s conversation in a way critics called a fabrication—further fuels the argument. Trump tweeted in September 2019, “Arrest for Treason?” about Schiff, claiming he misrepresented the call to Congress and the public. The House censured Schiff in June 2023 for his role in the Russia probe, with Republicans like Anna Paulina Luna accusing him of abusing his position. This censure, while symbolic, is cited as evidence of wrongdoing that aligns with the treason narrative.

Supporting Evidence and Sentiment

Statements and Actions: Schiff’s public assertions about Russian collusion, contrasted with the Mueller Report’s findings, are the backbone of the claim. His 2019 impeachment paraphrase of Trump’s Ukraine call, which he admitted was partly satirical but presented as serious, is seen as evidence of deceit.

Trump’s Accusations: Trump’s repeated labeling of Schiff as a traitor, including in January 2025 remarks about the Jan. 6 committee, lends weight among his base. Trump called the entire committee’s work “TREASON” in a New York Times-reported statement.
Public Sentiment on X: Posts from users like
@CjmMccarth39414
and
@thewildbill59
(March 2025) explicitly call Schiff’s actions treasonous, reflecting a belief that lying about evidence to undermine a president crosses a legal and moral line.

Counterpoints and Weaknesses

Legally, this argument struggles to meet the Constitution’s strict definition of treason. No evidence shows Schiff levied war or directly adhered to an enemy like Russia—his actions were political, not military. The “aid and comfort” claim is speculative, lacking two witnesses to an overt act. Critics might argue he was exercising his congressional role, however aggressively, not committing a crime. The Mueller Report’s inconclusive findings don’t prove Schiff lied knowingly; he could have been mistaken or overzealous. The censure reflects partisan disagreement, not a legal conviction.

Conclusion

The best argument for Schiff committing treason rests on the narrative that he knowingly fabricated evidence to destabilize Trump’s presidency, indirectly aiding Russia by amplifying division—acts framed as a betrayal of the nation. While compelling to his detractors, it falls short of legal treason without direct proof of intent and enemy collaboration. It thrives as a political accusation rather than a prosecutable case, rooted in the polarized lens of Trump-era conflicts.

Elon Musk Drops Bombshell on $12 Billion Swindle: “Only the Government Can Get Away With This”

Elon Musk Drops Bombshell on $12 Billion Swindle: "Only the Government Can Get Away With This"

Elon Musk dropped a shocking revelation about how the government handed the Navy $12 billion to build new submarines, only to find that not a single submarine was built with the money.

Musk, who revealed that he first heard the revelation from Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine), said Navy officials shrugged when asked where the money for the submarines went.

“There’s a case where I think Senator Collins was telling me about how she gave the Navy $12 billion for more submarines, got no extra submarines, and then held a hearing to say where the $12 billion went,” Musk told Joe Rogan.

“And they were like, we don’t know. That was it. I mean, basically, stuff is so crazy only the Federal Government could get away with this level of waste,” Musk added.

Watch:

The Tesla CEO noted how the government could save $100 billion a year just by forcing agencies to explain what their payments are for.

Under the current system, the government can send payments with no categorization code, meaning they do not have to explain what it’s for—essentially handing out blank checks.

Musk further explained that public companies would be immediately delisted, and their executives would “be thrown in prison” if they were to do the same thing.

Watch

Both Musk and Rogan then expressed outrage over how National Security Agency (NSA) staffers spent taxpayer time turning government servers into porn chat rooms.

“Your tax dollars at work,” Musk mocked.

“That’s not what they should be talking about at all. Supposed to be protecting the country.”

Watch:

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard fired the NSA workers after it was discovered they engaged in explicit behavior on group chats.

“This behavior is unacceptable and those involved WILL be held accountable,” Gabbard posted on X.

Musk went on to slam the so-called “threat to democracy” slogan, describing it as a cover for a “threat to bureaucracy.”

He also exposed the government’s use of taxpayer-funded NGOs as a loophole to funnel billions of dollars into shady organizations—doing things that would be illegal if the government did it themselves.

Musk said that the term NGO is an “oxymoron” because the government funds these so-called nongovernmental organizations.

“The whole NGO thing is a nightmare. And it’s a misnomer because if you have a government-funded nongovernmental organization, you’re simply a government-funded organization. It’s an oxymoron,” Musk explained.

As we reported last week, a left-wing nongovernmental organization (NGO) received $17 million in U.S. taxpayer money to create a low-quality Muppets knock-off puppet show to “promote democracy.”

The show was created by The United States Democracy Center, an NGO founded by an anti-Trump figure who played a key role in the President’s first impeachment.

“They got money, and they did something with that. It was just awful. Jim Henson would roll in his grave. And it was weird because all the videos have less than 200 views,” DataRepublican, who exposed the scam, explained.

“They didn’t even try to promote them with ads or anything. So where did the $17 million go?” she asked.

Watch

DataRepublican also exposed the “Uniparty” as a group of NGOs partially funded by the American taxpayer.

Several NGOs, heavily backed by USAID and the U.S. State Department, act as the Uniparty’s enforcement arm, pushing propaganda under the guise of “protecting democracy,” according to her investigation.

During the Cold War, the group shifted its mission from spreading democracy to consolidating its power under the guise of protecting democracy.

Rogan asked Musk what he expected to uncover when he first launched DOGE.

Musk replied, “I thought it would be bad, but I did not think it would be as bad as this.”

Luna Blasts Bondi Over Epstein Files: “I’m Not Confident” the Full List Will Ever Be Released

    Chairwoman of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), has thrown shade on Attorney General Pam Bondi’s release of the Jeffrey Epstein client list, arguing the previous setbacks have not instilled confidence in her.

    During an interview with Rep. Matt Gaetz on One America News Network (OANN), Luna echoed millions of frustrated conservatives who took to social media to vent anger over the heavily redacted Epstein file release last week.

    Just last month, Bondi claimed on Fox News she was “actively reviewing” the Epstein, JFK, and MLK files.

    Following the release of the files, Luna took to X, writing:

    “AG Pam Bondi, We saw over the weekend you are reviewing all files from JFK to Epstein! We are ALL anticipating their release! When will they be declassified and available to the public?”

    The conservative firebrand didn’t stop there and brutally doubled down in a follow-up post:

    “On Feb 11 & Feb 19, House Oversight sent a letter to the DOJ asking for status on releasing the Epstein files as well as JFK, etc. The DOJ has not responded. Reaching out on X because we can’t seem to get a response from the AG. AG Pam Bondi, what is the status of the documents? These documents were ordered to be declassified.”

    There was also backlash against the apparent media spectacle of selected conservative influencers who received a binder of phase one of the Epstein documents, with many calling it a media circus.

    Luna also vented frustration over the influencers receiving the binder before her committee. She again confronted Bondi over the disappointing release of the Epstein files.

    “I nor the task force were given or reviewed the Epstein documents being released today… A NY Post story just revealed that the documents will simply be Epstein’s phonebook,” said Luna.

    “THIS IS NOT WHAT WE OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ASKED FOR and a complete disappointment. GET US THE INFORMATION WE ASKED FOR!”

    During her interview with Gaetz, Luna said she was not confident about the Epstein client list release.

    “Are you confident, as you sit here now, that there will be an Epstein client list that the American people will see?” Gaetz asked her.

    “I’m not confident on the Epstein client list because I haven’t had the briefing yet from the Department of Justice,” Luna responded.

    “I’ll know more tomorrow on that. But based on what I’m hearing from the attorney general, she keeps saying that she is going to release something, so I’m going to take her at her word for that,” she added.

    “Now, whether that something is a full list, we have asked for the full list. We have asked for all the documentation. We are pushing for maximum transparency. But again, we do not hold declassification authority. That is up to the attorney general.”

    Watch:

    Last week, Elon Musk defended Bondi after the disappointing Epstein release, writing on X:

    “People don’t understand that you don’t get instant power here.”

    As many conservatives expressed outrage after finding that no new information was included in the file, Musk again defended Bondi, writing,

    “Imagine if you were suddenly appointed AG or head of the FBI. You were just thrown on a ship with a hostile crew. Until you appoint some new crew members and figure out the ropes, you can’t steer the ship effectively. It’s literally impossible.”

    Not long after Bondi accused the FBI of lying to her about the documents, FBI Director Kash Patel also weighed in.

    “The FBI is entering a new era—one that will be defined by integrity, accountability, and the unwavering pursuit of justice,” Patel said.

    “There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned — and anyone from the prior or current Bureau who undermines this will be swiftly pursued.”

    “If there are gaps, we will find them,” he continued.

    “If records have been hidden, we will uncover them. And we will bring everything we find to the DOJ to be fully assessed and transparently disseminated to the American people as it should be,” he added.

    “The oath we take is to the Constitution, and under my leadership, that promise will be upheld without compromise.”

    Zelenskyy Demands, Trump Throws Him Out, the American Public is Over it

    By now you’ve seen and heard the meeting that shot around the world online. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy went to the White House to visit with President Trump and Vice President Vance, ostensibly to finalize one of Trump’s deals. 

    The agreement was to have been this. In exchange for past and future U.S. military support in its war with Russia, Ukraine was to have agreed to give the U.S. half of any money it got from Ukraine’s natural resources. These included rare earth minerals (crucial in high-tech manufacturing) and proceeds from the sale of oil, natural gas, and similar materials. 

    So far, the U.S. has given hundreds of billions of dollars in cash and artillery to Ukraine. Trump claims it’s between $300 and $350 billion, though many news outlets put the number closer to $182 billion. It’s impossible to know the truth; Trump may be wrong or exaggerating, but he may also know something the public does not. Regardless, every figure is massive.

    But whatever it is in that range, it’s a huge wad of cash, all of which came from the pockets of regular Americans. Trump and Vance emphasized this to Zelenskyy during the meeting in the Oval Office, which was called to finalize not only the minerals deal, but to cement a peace process between Ukraine and Russia. 

    Zelenskyy’s performance crashed the entire deal, peace and all. Nothing like this exchange has been seen in American politics in living memory. From walking in to the oval office in his “playing war” costume while everyone else wore suits, to addressing the Vice President as “JD” and baiting him, Zelenskyy was the illustration next to the dictionary entry for “biting the hand that feeds you.”

    Both Trump and Vance had had enough, and warned him with raised voices that he was a guest in the United States, and that it did not help his cause to come in ungrateful, demanding, and rude. 

    Here’s just some of that exchange. “I think it’s disrespectful for you come into the oval office and try to litigate this in front of the American media.” And that was just the start. 

    Zelenskyy remained combative, folded his arms across his chest like a scorned child, and was eventually kicked out of the White House with the lunch in his honor canceled. Trump said “he can come back when he is ready for peace.”

    Democrats, of course, are running to comfort the grasping leader of a foreign country who has treated America like a piggy bank. But Zelenskyy is losing the American people, among whom he has a dwindling number of “friends.” Citing a Harvard poll from this week, the X/Twitter account End Wokeness posted these lopsided pie charts. 

    In response to the question “Do you want Ukraine to continue the war against Russia or negotiate a settlement with Russia?” – 61% of Democrats, 80% of Republicans, and 73% of Independents said “negotiate a settlement.” A majority of independents (53%) backed Trump announcing direct U.S.-Russia negotiations to end the war, while 85% of Republicans did. 40% of Democrats did too.

    Twitter users are divided between liberals and conservatives as always. You’ve got typical Democrat responses like this one:

    F-16 Fighter Jets Scrambled Over Mar-a-Lago After Planes Violate Trump Airspace

    Three civilian aircraft violated restricted airspace over Palm Beach, Florida, near President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, prompting North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) to scramble F-16 fighter jets, according to Newsmax host Todd Starnes.

    The incidents occurred at 11:05 a.m., 12:10 p.m., and 12:50 p.m., based on Starnes’ reporting.

    During two of the interceptions, the fighter jets deployed flares as part of their protocol to warn and direct the civilian aircraft. All three planes were escorted safely out of the restricted airspace.

    Pentagon Wipes All DEI Materials From “All Official Online Content”

    Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell sent a directive to the entire department on Wednesday, ordering that all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) materials be removed from “all official online content.”

    The memo, titled “Digital Content Refresh,” read as follows:

    “By March 5, 2025, Components must take all practicable steps, consistent with records management requirements, to remove all DoD news and feature articles, photos, and videos that promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). All articles, photos, and videos removed from DoD websites and social media platforms must be archived and retained in accordance with applicable records management policies.

    DEI content includes but is not limited to information that promotes programs, concepts, or materials about critical race theory, gender ideology, and preferential treatment or quotas based upon sex, race, or ethnicity, or other DEI-related matters with respect to promotion and selection reform, advisory boards, councils, and working groups.

    Content requiring removal also includes that which is counter to merit-based or color-blind policies (e.g., articles that focus on immutable characteristics such as race, ethnicity, or sex) or promotes cultural awareness months as outlined in Secretary Hegseth’s January 31, 2025, Memorandum, “Identity Months Dead at DoD.”

    According to Breitbart:

    “It said explicitly that the guidance does not apply to content required by law to be publicly available or related to normal installation or component operations and activities, including but not limited to, customer-focused content,” which includes base conditions, activities, and services; current and historical leadership biographies; DoD Education Activity school activities, operations, and notifications; and Morale, Welfare, and Recreation and Commissary operations and activities.

    The news comes as the military services scramble to identify probationary workers the administration has targeted for firing under its campaign to slash the government workforce.

    The firings included:

    Gen. CQ Brown Jr., chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
    Adm. Lisa Franchetti, chief of naval operations
    Gen. Jim Slife, vice chief of the Air Force
    The judge advocates general for the services

    Trump’s directive is part of a broader executive order dismantling federal DEI programs.

    Fired Federal Workers Want You to Cry a River Over Them

    Did you ever get fired? Your faithful correspondent did, and from my first job aside from a paper route. At 15 I got hired at Kaybee Toys (remember?) to stock shelves and run the register. The dress code required ties for men, and I didn’t have any extra money to buy one, so I showed up at work without a tie. 

    My boss told me I needed one. I decided to get an attitude and tell him it was unfair because I didn’t have any money yet and maybe they should provide one. He told me to get my jacket out of the locker room and punch out for the last time. I did what most people in those days did after getting fired–I felt like a fool and went to nurse my wounds in private vowing never to be such an idiot again. 

    What people didn’t do was a) cry in public b) definitely didn’t cry in public if they were full grown-ups, not kids c) complain on social media about how it wasn’t “fair” to get fired d) talk to reporters about getting fired. Boy, have times changed. The infantilization of American “adults” has been clipping along for at least 20 years. What started “innocently” with 30-year-olds putting their “Harry Potter House” affiliation on their Twitter profiles has ended up just where we grown-ups always knew it would. 

    America is a nation of emotionally stunted children walking around in adult bodies. The behavior of the average 30-year-old in 2025 is what we would have expected at 17 in the 80s and 90s. 

    The mass outcry—complete with actual tears—over the Trump administration’s firing of government staff it believes are duplicative and unnecessary is a public tantrum we’ve never seen before. It’s become clear that federal employees really do believe they’re entitled to a government job. Leftist media like NPR is, of course, supremely sympathetic, eagerly reporting on every fired worker who got his job back after complaining to some board, or some court. 

    But what of the staff themselves? It’s not all of them, of course, but some of the allegedly fully grown federal employees are talking to reporters about how they’ve lost faith in America the country. . .because they lost their jobs. The level of immature emotion, indignation, and exaggerating their unfortunate but personal troubles into a harbinger of a failed nation is something to behold. 

    Check out the first woman in this clip posted on Twitter/X by Collin Rugg. She says, “I have cried every day. I think that that’s normal. I have a 15-month-old at home and I’m looking at him and thinking, ‘well what’s this country that we’re now living in.'”

    Or take the federal staff in this video. They’re a little less melodramatic, and they may actually have a point that they were working on projects that the government needs, and really earning their paychecks. Many of them surely were; mass firings are a blunt instrument and mistaken or ill-advised firings will surely happen. But when did it become normal to act as though you are legally or morally entitled to your job, and to complain on social media as if the loss of your government job was somehow worse or more distressing than any private sector downturn in labor? 

    Leftist politicians, of course, are giving bullhorns and platforms to aggrieved federal employees to screech at everyone about how indispensable they are. 

    One thing is obvious-the public isn’t sympathetic. Here are some of the online reactions. 

    Collin Rugg himself, who posted the original tweet, noticed the entitlement of government workers:

    MTG Blows the Lid Off USAID as Democrat Slush Fund—Dem Rep Loses It

    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), chair of the House Oversight Committee’s DOGE Subcommittee, led a hearing on Wednesday titled “America Last: How Foreign Aid Undermined U.S. Interests Around the World.”

    The hearing focused on allegations that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been used to advance political agendas rather than serving American interests abroad.

    In her opening remarks, Greene accused USAID of being “weaponized” to undermine U.S. priorities.

    “The Democrat-run USAID should not get to use our federal government, our US taxpayer dollars as their party piggy bank to push their radical agenda in countries that we have no business giving money to,” Greene said.

    She also noted that 96% of USAID employee political contributions go to Democratic candidates or PACs.

    She further claimed that USAID has been turned into “an America-last foreign aid slush fund to prop up extremist groups, implement censorship campaigns, and interfere in foreign elections to force regime change around the world.”

    DOGE Finds Top Biden Aide Received Millions Through Shady Contract for “Migrant Housing”

      DOGE Finds Top Biden Aide Received Millions Through Shady Contract for 'Migrant Housing'

      The U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has uncovered evidence that a top aide to former President Joe Biden received millions of federal dollars for a facility intended to house recent migrants—yet the facility remained empty throughout the country’s crisis.

      A Texas nonprofit tied to Biden’s transition team members received a government contract for an overflow facility in Pecos.

      Family Endeavors, which had employed the transition team member since 2021, saw its “cash and portfolio of investments grow from $8.3M in 2020 to $520.4M in 2023”—with the federal government as its sole source of funds, DOGE reported.

      Family Endeavors’ managers have been receiving $18 million per month to operate the facility since 2024.

      However, the facility, which was meant to house unaccompanied migrant children, remained empty.

      Despite having no residents, the money continued to flow.

      “With national licensed facility occupancy now below 20%, HHS was able to terminate this contract, saving taxpayers over $215M annually,” states the post on X, which also tags Washington, D.C. U.S. Attorney Ed Martin.

      Images of the facility show a fleet of idle golf carts and an untouched cafeteria-style space.

      President Trump has since scaled back such asylum programs, with the number of legal border crossings falling to the lowest level seen in years.

      The contract marks the second politically connected discovery by DOGE this year, following its revelation that an organization tied to failed Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams had received at least $2 billion in grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

      Abrams’ “community investment group” was funded by the Biden-Harris administration to install heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, solar panels, home battery systems, EV chargers, and weatherization upgrades—despite reporting just $100 in revenue in 2023, according to an EPA press release.

      DOGE and Elon Musk have been spearheading Trump’s efforts to eliminate billions in wasteful federal spending.

      “If we don’t do this, America is going to be bankrupt,” Musk said this week.

      Musk aims to reduce federal expenditures by $4 billion daily, meaning DOGE could save taxpayers $1 trillion by September.

      DOGE’s efforts are also backed by recent polls, which show that 72% of Americans support its mission.

      Earlier this week, the Trump administration secured a major legal victory after U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts sided with DOGE in its funding freeze of $2 billion to contractors who performed work for the U.S. Agency for International Development.
