Supreme Court Justices Roberts and Barrett Flip:
Washington, D.C. – President Donald Trump’s May 4, 2025, Congress speech promised a “Golden Age” of slashed government waste—think $8 million for transgender mice and $22 billion for illegal alien housing. Americans cheered; Democrats sulked. But on March 5, 2025, the Supreme Court gut-punched that vision, ruling 5-4 to force Trump’s admin to release nearly $2 billion in U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) funds—cash he’d frozen to keep taxpayers first. Chief Justice John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett joined the liberals, leaving Trump’s efficiency crusade bleeding on the floor.
Roberts and Barrett’s Betrayal Unleashes $2B USAID Waste Fest
Here’s the mess:
Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, axed foreign aid post-inauguration, targeting USAID’s wild spending (full speech breakdown here). U.S. District Judge Amir Ali cried foul, ordering the funds released by midnight March 4 for contractors’ past work—HIV meds, famine relief, and yes, those bizarre pet projects.
Roberts paused it late March 4, hinting at hope. Then, bam—March 5th 5-4 ruling, with Roberts and Barrett siding with Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson, forced the money out. Alito’s dissent (with Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh) called it “stunning”—one judge overriding Trump’s power? Too bad, it’s done.
X is on fire. White Coat Waste Project raged on X: ‘Here’s the receipts: Over $250 million in DEI grants and tax funding wasted by NIH, NSF, and USDA on creating transgender lab animals!’ That’s $241 million—dwarfing USAID’s $8 million mice fiasco—tied to NIH’s past leadership.
Taxpayers scraping by while mice get gender swaps? It’s a slap to Trump’s May 4 mandate—less “America First,” more “mice first.”
Why This Stings
Trump’s team screamed executive power—courts can’t force spending he’s cutting. Aid groups countered: we’ll collapse without it. The Court’s unsigned order didn’t explain—Roberts and Barrett just shrugged off “irreparable harm” to Trump.
The optics are horrific. Inflation’s biting, and Trump vowed relief—now $2 billion flows to projects he mocked, from transgender animals to overseas handouts. It’s a betrayal of that red-meat roar from May 4, and it’s got X screaming conspiracy louder than his speech’s cheers.
Call to Action
Americans, this is your cash. Flood Congress with calls—demand they override this with laws backing Trump’s cuts. Tweet #StopTheWaste at Roberts and Barrett—ask why they flipped on taxpayers. No more transgender mice on our dime—fight to keep Trump’s Golden Age alive. Act now!
