Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, chair of the House DOGE subcommittee, unleashed a fiery threat on Wednesday, vowing criminal referrals over what she calls rampant misuse of USAID foreign aid funds, per a Fox News report. During a heated Capitol Hill hearing, Greene accused Democrats of weaponizing billions in taxpayer dollars to push a “radical agenda” abroad, per the February 27 story. For conservatives, this is a blazing call to arms—Trump’s waste-cutting lieutenant is taking aim at Biden’s globalist legacy.

Greene opened fire, slamming USAID’s spending as a Democratic piggy bank.

“This committee, based on this hearing and witness testimonies, will consider recommending investigations and criminal referrals,” she said. “The Democrat-run USAID should not get to use our federal government—our U.S. taxpayer dollars—as their party piggy bank.”

She pointed to Hunter Biden’s Burisma ties, alleging Joe Biden leveraged $1 billion in USAID grants to oust Ukraine’s prosecutor Viktor Shokin, per Fox News, and grilled witness Max Primorac, who called it “corruption.” Greene claimed 95% of USAID staff donations flow to Democrats, hinting at a “revolving door” with NGOs, per the report.

This salvo follows Trump’s Thursday border triumphs, slashing illegal crossings over 90%, per Border Patrol data, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s Gitmo deportations, per her “Hannity” remarks.

“We have hundreds of thousands of criminals that were let illegally into this country,” Noem said. “That means they have criminal records. They’ve perpetuated crimes in this country.”

Posts on X erupted—one user wrote, “Greene’s nailing USAID—Trump’s waste war is on!” Another added, “Biden’s slush fund exposed—lock ‘em up!”

Republicans see this as a lifeline. Biden’s reign let deficits soar past $35 trillion, per Treasury data, while inflation—up 20% since 2021, per BLS—gouged families, and USAID’s unchecked billions fueled foreign flops, per Fox. Trump’s January 20 “emergency price relief” memo, DOGE’s $55 billion cuts, and last week’s fentanyl bill clash, per Fox, signal the fix—cut waste, secure borders, and prioritize Americans.

Democrats fired back, arguing Trump’s USAID dismantling—slashing 5,800 awards—abets foes and undermines democracy, per Fox News. Too bad—conservatives see this as a reckoning for taxpayers, not a loss. Legal battles loom, with over 70 suits targeting Trump’s moves—like a Thursday block on Education records—but Republicans stand tall. With Congress pushing reconciliation and FBI Director Kash Patel releasing Epstein files, the GOP’s ready to back Greene’s crusade, ensuring America’s dollars stay home, as voters demanded in 2024.

Greene’s DOGE panel, per Fox, exposed USAID’s “systemic failure” to vet funds, with witness Gregg Roman urging DOJ referrals for terrorism links, per his testimony. The agency’s $43.79 billion budget—60% of U.S. aid—took a 90% haircut under Trump, per Reuters. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ February DOGE task force and USDA Secretary Brooke L. Rollins’ SNAP crackdown show state-federal alignment. With DHS troops at the border and Noem’s raids, conservatives rallying behind Greene ensure America’s fight cuts deep.

This spending clash is a powerhouse win for America, slicing foreign waste and fortifying Trump’s bold vision.
