Lummis condemned USAID's reckless spending on the Senate floor, highlighting several grants that she deemed wasteful. She criticized the agency's funding of projects such as a 'Sesame Street' show in Iraq, promoting 'green transportation' in Georgia, and teaching Sri Lankan journalists how to avoid 'binary gendered language'. The senator also mentioned that USAID had funded a DEI musical in Ireland, electric vehicles in Vietnam, and a transgender comic book in Peru. She argued that this type of spending is a major outrage for hardworking taxpayers." ] ], "content": "nostr:nprofile1qy3hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtt5v4ehgmn9wshxkwrn9ekxz7t9wgejumn9waesqgyqapnnqg068lgvkyx28ss8g693yle5ptwhfu5gkpkf0prrxtmu0vydjqxa\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": "85ffc00d723bfdb281367f009faff324e1af4b16a7da457572c066befc3980b506a4997f8adf7e4580af2a2a3ab6e090688650e83c73b9dfa0e3985fd6d5aa4e" }
