The big story this month is the information being uncovered by Elon Musk’s team at the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) about the millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars that have been routed by USAID to terrorism. Money sent to the Taliban may be just the tip of the iceberg. Fortunately for all of us, President Trump and the D.O.G.E. team are identifying these funds and putting a stop to them.

- Somalia is a case in point. During the Biden admin’s last two years in office, USAID funneled $2.3 billion for Somalia, presented as “humanitarian assistance.” A final tranche of $29 million went to Somalia in December 2024. Additional funds went to the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Houthis in Yemen, and over $2 billion to Gaza (aka HAMAS).

- No, this largesse did not go to the poor, starving Gazan people…mostly because there never was a famine in the Gazan Strip. But, as USAID knew or should have known, the vast majority of humanitarian aid sent to Gaza, especially since the October 7, 2023 HAMAS massacre, was stolen outright by HAMAS, then used by its own fighters or put out on the black market in Gaza, to be sold for exorbitant prices to the Gazan people.

Department of Justice establishes Joint Task Force October 7 (JTF 10-7)
- On February 5, 2025, Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a Memorandum, establishing a Task Force to seek justice for the victims of the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre in Israel and also to address “the ongoing threat posed by Hamas and its affiliates in the homeland.” Importantly, the Memo specifically identifies one of DOJ’s priorities as “investigating and prosecuting those responsible for funding Hamas.”
