Sen. Lisa Murkowski went on the attack again on Thursday, this time reproaching the Trump Administration for its cuts to the notorious program USAID. The program is known for humanitarian assistance, but is also believed to have served as a funnel for CIA operations overseas. During the Biden Administration, USAID spent $1.5 million to advance DEI initiatives in Serbia and $3.2 million last year to a subsidiary of BBC, BBC Media Action.
“This week, I met with some Alaskan USAID employees. They not only informed me of the confusing and callous handling of personnel matters by OPM and DOGE, but they also painted an incredibly troubling picture of what the world looks like without humanitarian assistance from the United States,” Murkowski said. “Although I support measures to find inefficiencies within the agency, USAID’s mission to keep people healthy and safe in even the most remote corners of the world should not be eliminated. Dr. Peter Kerndt, an Alaskan physician who has dedicated his career to treating tuberculosis in Alaska and around the world, shared with me, ‘America is great, because America is good.’ It is imperative we not lose sight of that,” Murkowski said.
Taxpayer funding for USAID had ballooned under the Biden Administration, from $26 billion in 2019 to $42.4 billion in 2023. Check the official numbers here.
In 2024, Mexico received over $58 million in USAID funding, and Guatemala received $189 million. USAID gave Venezuela $211 million and funneled $61 billion to Ukraine. Syria, which has been on the State Department’s list of terrorist states, received $512 billion in USAID funds.
The US debt stands at nearly $36 trillion. For each American man, woman, and child, that’s $108,000 in debt owed to other countries. But for every actual American taxpayer, it’s over $323,000 owed.
The Trump Administration’s Department of Government Efficiency has thus far saved taxpayers about $170 billion, according to USDebtClock.org
Murkowski is upping her social media activity as she prepares to release her memoirs in June, titled “Far From Home.” She is positioning herself as the anti-Trump, anti-DOGE Republican in the Senate in a way she has not done in the past, siding with the president of Ukraine against Trump in the middle of a sensitive negotiation earlier this year.
In other words, Lisa Murkowski is on the take! The receiving end of our laundred stolen taxes. She has now personally confirmed this with her attacks.
Hey Princess Entitled Lisa, we don’t get a rats turd what you do. Clearly you were another creature stealing from the American people. Shame on you! Someone please slap her back into reality!
