But first, I have excellent news. Mike Huckabee has been confirmed as U.S. ambassador to Israel! Mike and I spoke by phone shortly after the vote. I am thrilled for my friend and look forward to good things to come for Israel.
But we still have a tremendous amount of work to do ... and it begins from within.
USAID sent 2 billion dollars to Hamas-controlled Gaza — giving aid and comfort to Israel’s enemy during a time of war!
President Trump cannot fix this on his own. CONGRESS must act now to shutter this hotbed of hate for Israel and put it out of business forever!
Demand Congress DEFUND USAID!
Elon Musk calls it . . .
- "Criminal" . . .
- "Beyond repair" . . .
- A "viper's nest of radical-left Marxists who hate America."
Former State Department official Mike Benz agreed, responding to Musk’s post, saying, “I cannot adequately convey to you how many dozens of former members of the intelligence community have written to me this exact same sentiment about USAID.”
“It’s not an apple with a worm in it," says Musk about the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which doled out some 35 billion in taxpayer dollars last year across the world.
"What we have is just a ball of worms," insists the billionaire businessman now leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Musk concludes: “Time for it to die.” President Donald Trump agrees.
But the President can legally only do so much.
We need Congress to step in NOW to deauthorize and totally defund USAID as a matter of law.
Please take a moment to sign our petition and fax Congress demanding Congress Defund and Deauthorize USAID!
If Congress does not act, USAID could survive as an independent agency using your tax dollars to fund the enemies of Israel.
As you do, please consider making a special one-time donation or a recurring monthly gift to support our ministry. Your much-needed generosity now will make a real difference for Israel on Capitol Hill and in the White House. Your support will also strengthen our work to raise up a grassroots pro-Israel army of Americans who understand what is happening in Israel and make their voices heard in Washington, D.C.
Your generosity makes a huge difference to bless and defend Israel. Thank you so much for your friendship and support!
