Lummis condemned USAID's reckless spending on the Senate floor, highlighting several examples of funding for projects she deemed wasteful, including a 'Sesame Street' show in Iraq and a DEI musical in Ireland. She also criticized the agency for funding corporate outlets such as the Associated Press and Politico. The Trump administration has targeted USAID as part of its efforts to reduce government waste, and plans to terminate thousands of employees and reduce the agency's staff." ] ], "content": "nostr:nprofile1qyd8wumn8ghj7ctjw35kxmr9wvhxcctev4erxtnwv4mhxqpqsr5xwvpplglapjcseg7zqargkynlxs9d6a8j3zcxe9uyvve003aslgyys4\nhttps://thefederalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Lummis-1200x675.jpg\nLummis outlined a series of items given funding from USAID as 'some of the ways the last administration has wasted your money.'\nhttps://thefederalist.com/2025/02/07/cynthia-lummis-slams-usaid-funding-for-sesame-street-program-in-iraq/?utm_source=rss\u0026utm_medium=rss\u0026utm_campaign=cynthia-lummis-slams-usaid-funding-for-sesame-street-program-in-iraq", "sig": "54df56bc1314b7d36b7027ecad631a5474257e9a8a6c04088020f12af72d118c785a777ee4659cabc7f0faa3b8ea2d36435a935f377b9886180fc5d4a1579dbe" }
