If you ever had a doubt that woke leftism is a true cult, this story out of Colorado will put those doubts to rest. HB25-1109 is the kind of lawmaking you only expect to see on the other side of Alice’s looking glass. The bill makes it a crime to “misgender” someone on a death certificate. In other words, the bill would require grieving families, funeral directors, and doctors, to lie about the actual sex of a deceased person on the official government document certifying their death. 

LibsOfTikTok brought the news here: 

BREAKING: Democrats in Colorado have introduced HB 25-1109 which would require a person's gender identity to be recorded as part of their death certificate. If a person knowingly violates this requirement, they can be fined/jailed under Colorado law.

First, a quick lesson on how death certificate preparation works. There are two portions: biographical information, and medical information. The funeral director (or the family, if they complete the task) fills out the biographical portion. This includes things like mom’s maiden name, what industry dad worked in, where the person was born, etc. The medical portion is the spot where the doctor or medical examiner describes the cause and manner of death and notes any diseases or injuries before signing the document and making it legal. 

HB25-1109 instructs those preparing the death certificate to mark the sex field—male or female—according to whatever “gender identity” the dead person claimed in a written set of instructions or similar documents. So, if a man named Jack Collins decided he was really a woman named Jackie Desiree DeMoore, the family or funeral director would be required by law to mark his sex as “female.” 

This misguided bill pits family members who disagree against each other by allowing subjective claims and opinions to override the actual reality of the dead person’s sex. Worse, the reliability of objective government records of death would be destroyed. Death certificates cannot be used to do medical research on the causes of death and the effects of disease by sex any longer, since no one will be able to trust that a record that shows a female isn’t actually a male. 

The bill also:

• Makes “misgendering” a dead person a crime punishable by up to a year in prison, a $1,000 fine, or both. Does a grieving mother who refuses to say her son was her daughter deserve this? 
• Forces the state registrar (the official record keeper) to amend death certificates to show the incorrect sex if the deceased’s kin shows a document outlining that person’s so-called “gender identity.” So the state will be rewriting reality and history. 
• Makes it illegal for the state registrar to mark the altered certificate as “amended.” This means no one can know that the sex was falsified, and it will be hard or impossible to establish a deceased person’s actual identity. 

The reaction on Twitter/X was about what you’d expect. People are over this nonsense.

By now, you’ve no doubt seen headlines and heaps of coverage on President Trump’s ‘Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid’ Executive Order (EO), which has predominantly impacted the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). You’ve probably read about these tariffs too, or at least heard of them.

With so much noise on this issue, we thought we’d dig into how the world’s response to these funding cuts sheds light on a much bigger problem than just government spending.

The Foreign Aid Executive Order

On Jan. 20, 2025, Trump signed the ‘Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid‘ EO, claiming that the U.S. “foreign aid industry and bureaucracy are not aligned with American interests and in many cases antithetical to American values.” Instead, these bodies “serve to destabilize world peace by promoting ideas in foreign countries that are directly inverse to harmonious and stable relations internal to and among countries,” the EO continued.

As a result, Trump implemented:

1. “90-day pause in United States foreign development assistance for assessment of programmatic efficiencies and consistency with United States foreign policy.  All department and agency heads with responsibility for United States foreign development assistance programs shall immediately pause new obligations and disbursements of development assistance funds to foreign countries and implementing non-governmental organizations, international organizations, and contractors pending reviews of such programs for programmatic efficiency and consistency with United States foreign policy, to be conducted within 90 days of this order.  The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) shall enforce this pause through its apportionment authority.
2. “Reviews of United States foreign assistance programs.  Reviews of each foreign assistance program shall be ordered by the responsible department and agency heads under guidelines provided by the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Director of OMB.
3. “Determinations.  The responsible department and agency heads, in consultation with the Director of OMB, will make determinations within 90 days of this order on whether to continue, modify, or cease each foreign assistance program based upon the review recommendations, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State.
4. “Resumption of paused development assistance funding.  New obligations and disbursements of foreign development assistance funds may resume for a program prior to the end of the 90-day period if a review is conducted, and the Secretary of State or his designee, in consultation with the Director of OMB, decide to continue the program in the same or modified form.  Additionally, any other new foreign assistance programs and obligations must be approved by the Secretary of State or his designee, in consultation with the Director of OMB.”

What Happened Next?

According to the press, Trump’s EO immediately led to a disruption in the “global fight against modern slavery,” evidently “women and girls” are most “at risk” as a result of these temporary cuts, while “millions will be affected” across the world. The Amazon rainforest will collapse, HIV is going to explode, Russian influence is going to takeover, and marginalized communities around the world won’t have anyone to help them, at least, that’s if you read the Associated Press reports.

In reality, Sec. of State Marco Rubio signed a waiver allowing core “life-saving” humanitarian needs to be met, according to the Center for American Progress. And if all of these programs are essential, they’ll be back on the books within the 90 day window. More than that, if these programs are this essential, why are they dependent on just American funding to sustain themselves entirely?

Work Doesn’t Have To Halt

Christian groups across “Uganda, Tanzania, and Ethiopia,” have all continued to work, despite the suspension. “We have chosen this course for the time being because as a Christian organization, we center our decisions on the worth and dignity of ALL people—the people we serve and our staff,” Medical Teams International told TIME Magazine.

How Do The Tariffs Relate To These Issues?

Technically, Trump’s tariffs don’t really relate to the work of USAID, but more to the larger global response to Trump’s moves since reentering office.

Trump has threatened huge tariffs against nations who many feel are doing harm to the U.S. For example, Trump threatened China, Mexico and Canada with tariffs as a result of the “extraordinary threat posed by illegal aliens and drugs, including deadly fentanyl.”

“Chinese tariffs on US coal, gas, and oil are unlikely to have a significant impact or a negative impact on the US economy,” Hudson Institute fellow John Lee told DCNF. “These are commodities which the US can sell to other markets quite easily. For example, the US is the world’s largest exporter of LNG and can sell more to the UK and EU. Chinese tariffs on agricultural machinery, trucks and large cars are also not overly significant because China is not a major buyer of these American products.” Within days of Trump’s tariff threats against China, Taiwan promised to invest more in the U.S. This is just one example of how using America’s financial strength can benefit us all. China also almost-immediately opened up talks in order to avoid another set of Trump’s tariffs. 

Canada’s soon-to-be ex-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau buckled to Trump’s tariffs shortly after they were threatened, promising at least #1.3 billion toward increasing our northern border security. Cartels were also designated terrorist organizations by Canada. Together, the U.S and Canada will now work to combat “organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering,” Trudeau revealed on social media.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum gave into Trump within hours of the tariffs being announced, promising to deploy $10,000 National Guard soldiers along the border in exchange for a 30-day pause on the tariffs.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said that Tesla CEO Elon Musk has finally “cracked the code” on how to break the “deep state” with the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Speaking with Life, Liberty & Levin host Mark Levin, Johnson said he met with Musk for an hour at the DOGE leader’s office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building last week.

The speaker noted that Musk has been working out of the old Secretary of War Suite, remarking, “We laughed about how appropriate that is because he’s declared war on the deep state and the bureaucracy.”

Johnson added: “You have Democrats now out having rallies to stop him. What is he doing?”

“He’s identifying and allowing us to cut out fraud, waste, and abuse,” he added. “How could they be against that? It’s irrational. It’s going to work against them.”

Levin got Johnson to agree that Democrats are being hypocritical for opposing Musk’s work to root out corrupt government spending while embracing billionaire George Soros, who has influenced policy.

Johnson also noted how Musk is helping Congress perform its constitutional duty to keep the Executive Branch in check by providing a much-needed level of transparency.

“The oversight job has been hindered because the deep state and the bureaucracy have not turned over the data,” Johnson said.

“They wouldn’t give us the information we were seeking. We didn’t know all this because it was hidden,” he added.

“Now Elon has cracked the code. He is on the inside of the belly of the beast, Mark,” the speaker continued.

“And he is unveiling and revealing all these things that we knew intuitively were happening but we didn’t have the evidence.”

Johnson concluded: “This is a game changer. It is truly revolutionary, and we’re going to restore, ultimately through this process, the federal government to the original intent of the Founders.”

The speaker added: “And that’s what has the Big Government socialist liberals and Democrat Party apoplectic because they’re afraid of what the final result of this is going to be. And it’s very exciting for the people.”

Democrats’ attempts to double down on issues that handed them a resounding defeat in the 2024 presidential elections are raising concerns within the party, suggesting potential sabotage. 

Numerous videos from the Democratic National Committee’s leadership elections showing that the Blue Party has not learned its lesson and aligned itself with reality went viral earlier this week. In one of them. every DNC candidate raised their hand in agreement that racism and misogyny caused their defeat when Jonathan Capehart asked the question.

Additionally, a DNC official halted the meeting to point out that not enough non-binary individuals were elected, thus requiring one to be voted in to achieve gender balance. 

“With the results of the previous four elections, our elected officers are currently two male and two female. In order to be gender balanced, we must elect one male, one female, and one person of any gender.”

I can't believe what I just listened to. The DNC Leader interrupted the party election to tell members that not enough non-binary candidates have been elected, so they MUST now vote for one.

Trump recently signed an executive order recognizing only two genders, which Democrats are yet to counter. Earlier this month, Democratic political strategist James Carville said Democrats had nothing to stop Trump’s executive action onslaught.

While Democrats were fixated on woke politics, Carville noted that Trump’s America First agenda was smoothly sailing through, leaving them overwhelmed. The Democrat strategist attributed Trump’s success to Steve Bannon’s strategy of “flooding the media with sh*t.” As Bannon observed, Democrats were nothing without the Leftist media, and curbing its power would leave them helpless.

“We’re getting overwhelmed,” Carville told the “Politics War Room” podcast co-host Al Hunt.

“Things that we thought that would kill a political career, would be poisonous for whatever reason, this guy keeps chugging along.”

Carville also lamented the Democrats’ lack of political awareness, which resulted in prioritizing lost causes, suggesting potential sabotage. Carville was not impressed by the DNC’s attempt to double down on gender and identity politics, which failed them during the election.

“And it’s like, there’s a, a plant somewhere in quote, progressive, unquote America, that just to seize how many jacka**, stupid things that they can embrace, it’s stunningly stupid. Both of them.”

Carville had also lamented everything within the Democratic Party going to s**t after a bunch of motherf***ers took over.

“I dedicated the best years of my f-cking life to this party, only to see it taken over by a bunch of stupid motherfu-kers. Everything’s gone to sh-t.”

Appearing on CNN in a different segment, Carville also noted that Democrats made the elections about Trump and not about voters.

“We made [the election] about Trump and we didn’t make it about voters… How could I, at 80 years old, been doing this for 50 years, lapse into that level of stupidity?”

However, Carville was not alone in pointing out the Democrats’ failure to align with reality. Referring to Elon Musk’s DOGE exposure of wasteful spending, which Democrats are fighting to retain, the party’s former presidential candidate and “Pod Save America” podcaster Dean Phillips warned that Leftists were being steamrolled by Trump.

“And Democrats are being steamrolled. And I‘m deeply concerned about that,” Phillips said.

One of the elected DNC officials, gun control activist David Hogg, 24, also proposed ridding the “party of its judgmental attitudes, and do the work to win back every group we lost this year.”

Nonetheless, Democrats expected Trump 1.0, who faced overwhelming media opposition and pushback from big tech and corporations. With legacy media failing spectacularly, and big tech and corporations realigning their priorities, even some potentially supporting Trump’s policies, Democrats have nothing to counter Trump.

A Cardus Educational Survey (CES) has discovered that homeschooled children outperformed their non-homeschooled peers on various psychosocial issues. Between 2019 and 2021, school enrolment declined by 2.1 million while homeschooling increased by 30%.

The trend was largely influenced by the pandemic when homeschooling was mandatory. However, many parents continued to teach their children at home even after physical classes resumed.

The CES report that studied adults between adults 24 to 39 years old analyzed economic, mental health, civic, spiritual, and family formation among homeschooled and non-homeschooled individuals. 

It categorized the subjects into short-term homeschoolers (1-2 years of homeschooling), medium-term homeschoolers (3-7 years), and long-term homeschoolers (over 8 years). The individuals attended traditional public schools, Catholic schools, Protestant schools, nonreligious independent schools, or were homeschooled.

One key finding was that homeschooled adults exhibited better mental health than their non-homeschooled peers amid the nation’s ongoing mental health crisis affecting teens and young adults.

11% of parents now homeschool, according to new Census data. That's about TRIPLE the rate prior to the pandemic.

Great.

The report found that long-term homeschoolers had the highest levels of optimism, gratitude, and life satisfaction. They were also the least likely to “feel helpless dealing with life’s problems” or report depression and anxiety symptoms.

Similarly, short-term and long-term homeschoolers were more likely to volunteer and give to charity in the last 12 months compared to medium-term homeschoolers or those who were never homeschooled. 

Homeschooled individuals also reported higher rates of belief in God and participation in religious activities compared to non-homeschoolers. The rate of religiosity was proportional to the number of years spent homeschooling. 

“The prevalence of religious belief and practice increased with the number of years spent in the homeschool sector,” the study stated.

This is hardly surprising considering that the education system is highly anti-religious while allowing other negative ideologies to thrive within the learning environment.

Long-term homeschoolers were also more likely to be married, have more children on average, and had the lowest divorce rates. The study did not attribute this finding to any ideology but the school system has been pushing anti-family ideologies such as feminism and LGBTQ+, which greatly undermine family formation.

Given the diverse nature of the study subjects, it is likely that these results are more nuanced than reported. If the study isolated individuals who attended public schools, where woke culture thrives, vs homeschooled individuals, the results would likely be groundbreaking. Many religious and private schools still instill conservative values and are free of the woke culture that plagues public schools, thus potentially neutralizing its effect.

Another concerning finding of the CES survey was that homeschooled individuals were less likely to be full-time employed compared to those who physically attended school. Given their tendency to have more children on average, getting married, and being less likely to be divorced, it was likely that some were stay-at-home parents taking care of their families. 

Likely, their decision to take care of their children instead of pursuing a career resulted in better mental health outcomes for themselves and their children. No amount of financial success can substitute for good mental health and a nice family when the “achievers” live in a perpetual state of mental anguish, anxiety, helplessness, and silent desperation.

As the study indicated, long-term homeschooled individuals had better mental health, were happier, more grateful, and were the least likely to feel helpless, and contributed more towards charity. 

While the short-term financial gains might be appealing, they are costly in the long due to depopulation which is an existential threat. The mental health crisis also requires more funds to address, resulting in the loss of otherwise productive members of society through depression and suicide. Likely, that is why nearly 60% of all “gun crimes” in the US are suicides instead of accidental shootings or homicides.

Elon Musk’s DOGE initiative has exposed a bizarre “antiracism” training program that framed newborn infants as racists, highlighting a shocking example of government waste driven by left-wing ideologies under President Joe Biden.

Conservative activist Chris Rufo outlined the program in a lengthy X post on Friday.

The program, funded by the Department of Education, was just one of many “antiracism” training programs used for teachers following the rise of Black Lives Matter after the death of George Floyd.

One slide, titled “Did You Know? Racial Awareness in the Early Years,” asserted that infants become racist before turning one year old if they are not exposed to diversity.

The slide argues that infants can begin to categorize faces based on race and even develop preferences for faces they see most often, which usually corresponds to their own race.

Funding for racist baby training is canceled https://t.co/M7H1ks4Vbr

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 15, 2025

The DEI consultant explains in the training:

“At nine months, infants are unable to distinguish the facial features of racial groups other than their caregiver unless they frequently see images of racially diverse people.

By the age of two, children are putting people into categories based on race, and they are observing and internalizing power dynamics,” a DEI consultant explained during the training.

At age three, children develop biases and begin assigning meaning to race by attributing positive traits to the dominant race.

However, children can still respond to positive messages about their own and others’ racial identities. By age five, children of all races demonstrate social biases, primarily by attributing negative traits to non-white races. At this age, children are capable of acting against racial injustice.”

The consultant then labeled young children as “racists,” saying, “Racist idiocy is a form of racism.”

Elon Musk pointed to the training as an example of the sheer decay within the federal government.

“Funding for racist baby training is canceled,” Musk wrote.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning DEI policies and training within the federal government.

Acting Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Charles Ezell, informed acting department and agency heads in a memo that all government DEI offices would be forced to close by the end of the day.

Employees at these agencies were informed they would be placed on paid leave.

Federal workers were also ordered to remove all DEI-related websites and social media accounts, cancel contracts or training programs, and report any efforts to disguise DEI programs using coded or imprecise language.

In early February, President Donald Trump announced the creation of an anti-Christian bias task force within the federal government, according to Life News and the Trump administration.

Attorney General Pam Bondi was appointed to lead the initiative, which aims to reduce discrimination against Christians in various government agencies. These agencies include the Department of Justice, Internal Revenue System, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The purpose is to “immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government,” Trump said at the National Prayer Breakfast.

Executive Order

Trump signed the “Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias” executive order last week. “It is the policy of the United States, and the purpose of this order, to protect the religious freedoms of Americans and end the anti-Christian weaponization of government,” the order states. “The Founders established a Nation in which people were free to practice their faith without fear of discrimination or retaliation by their government.”

”For that reason, the United States Constitution enshrines the fundamental right to religious liberty in the First Amendment.  Federal laws like the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2000bb et seq.), further prohibit government interference with Americans’ rights to exercise their religion.  Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2000e et seq.), prohibits religious discrimination in employment while Federal hate-crime laws prohibit offenses committed due to religious animus,” it continues.

https://twitter.com/gracesaldanaa/status/1887513658193797416

The EO comes in backlash to what the Trump administration called ” an egregious pattern of targeting peaceful Christians, while ignoring violent, anti-Christian offenses” by various government agencies during the previous administration.

The Task Force

The task force will be established within the DOJ, and include the following:

(a)  There is hereby established within the Department of Justice the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias (Task Force).

(v)    identify deficiencies in existing laws and enforcement and regulatory practices that have contributed to unlawful anti-Christian governmental or private conduct and recommend to the relevant agency head, or recommend to the President, through the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, as applicable, appropriate actions that agencies may take to remedy failures to fully enforce the law against acts of anti-Christian hostility, vandalism, and violence; and
(vi)     recommend to the President, through the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, any additional Presidential or legislative action necessary to rectify past improper anti-Christian conduct, protect religious liberty, or otherwise fulfill the purpose and policy of this order.
(b)  In order to advise the President regarding its work and assist the President in formulating future policy, the Task Force shall submit to the President, through the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy:
(i)    a report within 120 days from the date of this order regarding the Task Force’s initial work;
(ii)   a report within 1 year from the date of this order that summarizes the Task Force’s work; and
(iii)  a final report upon the dissolution of the Task Force.

The task force is anticipated to run for two years, unless otherwise extended by the President. The order will stand with all applicable law. “My Administration will ensure that any unlawful and improper conduct, policies, or practices that target Christians are identified, terminated, and rectified,” Trump noted.

Elon Musk is considering appointing former Congressman Ron Paul and “End the Fed” author to lead an audit team within DOGE, targeting the Federal Reserve.

The news follows a suggestion from X user Liam McCollum, who proposed that “DOGE and @elonmusk should let @RonPaul lead a Federal Reserve audit team.”

Musk immediately responded, stating, “Good idea.”

Paul is a well-known critic of the Federal Reserve and has long advocated for increased transparency.

His potential involvement with DOGE could deal a significant blow to the Federal Reserve and aligns with the Trump administration’s mission to enhance governmental efficiency and reduce waste.

Furthermore, this move could spark a major shift in the oversight of the nation’s central banking system.

Unsurprisingly, a federal judge in New York temporarily blocked DOGE’s access to the Treasury Department’s payment systems last week, as establishment elites fight tooth and nail to conceal their fraud.

Musk’s consideration of Ron Paul highlights his commitment to reforming federal operations and could bring renewed scrutiny to the Federal Reserve’s controversial practices.

Auditing the Federal Reserve is something Paul has been pushing for decades.

To quote Ron Paul: “There is no authority in the constitution authorizing a central bank, which means there should be no federal reserve system.”

Mario Nawfal explained:

Paul himself has not yet commented on Musk’s offer.

Following a review of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), a measly 294 of the agency’s 14,000 employees have been deemed essential to administering civilian foreign aid.

The internal review appears to have been initiated by President Donald Trump’s Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who is currently serving as the agency’s acting director.

The news comes as Sec. Rubio began transferring the few core programs within USAID intended to serve U.S. national interests into the State Department.

The move signals that the agency may soon be abolished.

President Donald Trump is expected to place most USAID staff on leave, while the 294 workers deemed essential will be the few staff directed to remain at their posts.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) revealed the agency’s eye-watering expenditures.

According to the data, almost 90 percent of Ukrainian media relies on the U.S. federal aid agency to operate.

It was also uncovered that George Soros’s organizations received $260 million in taxpayer money disbursed by USAID.

Sec. Rubio noted how USAID was operating as if it were funded by U.S. taxpayers.

On Monday, former senior advisor to Trump, Stephen Miller, said the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) operated as a financial pipeline for left-wing causes.

Miller said USAID used taxpayer dollars to fund global gender surgeries, diversity and inclusion programs, and climate initiatives.

As President Trump moves to cut off USAID funding, Miller noted that agency officials are in total panic.

“Yes, the USAID was a slush fund, first of all, for left-wing projects around the globe, like gender surgeries around the world, diversity, equity and inclusion policies, crazy Green New Deal, climate scams, and every other lunatic left-wing project that is bankrupting this country,” Miller said.

Miller said these groups use government money to influence the corporate and public sectors and to resettle millions of illegal immigrants at the expense of taxpayers.

“But even beyond that, it was funding an army of left-wing activists, these NGOs, non-governmental organizations,” he said.

House Oversight and Accountability Committee member Nancy Mace (R-SC) has revealed that the Biden administration spent over $10 million to alter nature by creating transgender animals.

These sick experiments serve no purpose other than advancing the harmful ideology while torturing innocent animals. While animals are regularly used in medical research, their suffering is for the good of humanity, and they are only used when necessary. 

“These DEI grants funded painful and deadly transgender experiments that forced lab animals to undergo invasive surgeries and hormone therapies at universities across the country.”

Those transgender experiments performed on animals, usually end up being performed on children as young as eight years, only causing more harm to society. 

According to Rep. Mace, non-animal testing alternatives powered by “sophisticated technological tools” exist and “can more accurately model human biology and replace the need for animal experimentation.”

Even worse, they spent the money on futile experiments such as studying the fertility of transgender animals. Historically, no aminal assigned male at birth but transitioned into a female, including humans, ever gave birth, and the chances of that happening are slim. “For example, the Biden-Harris Administration spent $2.5 million taxpayer dollars to study the fertility of transgender mice,” Mace continued.

Many of the transgender fertility interventions, such as uterine transplants and artificial wombs remain untested on ethical grounds and due to their prohibitive financial costs. Additionally, they are unnecessary when a healthy reproductive population with an adequate male-to-female ratio exists.

Meanwhile, many Americans still struggle with proven fertility interventions such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), which remain prohibitively expensive. Thus, publicly funded universities should use taxpayers’ dollars to study such interventions to create more successful and accessible solutions. Rep. Mace wants to explore ways to divert those funds to more meaningful experiments.

“The Subcommittee plans to evaluate current animal cruelty funded by the federal government and explore opportunities to prioritize technological alternatives that increase relevance to humans,” she stated.

The GOP lawmaker also wants to get to the bottom of the project and expose its ugly underbelly. Thus, initiated a Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation hearing on “Transgender Lab Rats and Poisoned Puppies: Oversight of Taxpayer Funded Animal Cruelty.”

Ten million dollars may look like a drop in the ocean, but Rep. Mace warned that the federal government spends “billions of taxpayer dollars on unnecessary animal experiments every year.”

Senior Vice President of the White Coat Waste Project Justin Goodman testified that although Congress does not have actual figures, the U.S. government spends “over $20 billion” on the inhumane experiments and is “the single largest funder of animal testing in the country, and, in fact, the world.”

Goodman also claimed that the funds came from Fauchi’s NIAID and were a slush fund to bring in more DEI grants. The money was also diverted to trendy topics while allowing scientists to do whatever they wanted to keep money flowing.

We can only hope that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will uncover more taxpayers’ dollars spent on cruel animal experiments and stop those payments and obligations.
