Alright, folks, let’s talk about waste, fraud, and abuse—because the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) just dropped another bombshell that’ll have taxpayers seeing red. Turns out, a top Biden aide funneled millions of federal dollars into a Texas migrant housing facility that has been sitting completely empty. That’s right—empty. No residents. No activity. Just a giant, taxpayer-funded ghost town collecting $18 million a month for absolutely nothing.
The facility, run by the Texas nonprofit Family Endeavors, was supposed to house unaccompanied migrant children during the country’s historic border crisis. But despite never actually housing anyone, the money kept flowing, with government contracts filling the nonprofit’s coffers.
How much money are we talking about here? According to DOGE, Family Endeavors’ cash and investments exploded from $8.3 million in 2020 to $520.4 million in 2023—all thanks to taxpayer dollars. Their sole source of funding? You guessed it: the federal government under Biden.
Now, with President Trump back in office and border crossings at their lowest level in years thanks to his policies, the Health and Human Services Department (HHS) has finally terminated this outrageous contract. That alone saves taxpayers over $215 million per year.
DOGE wasn’t shy about calling it out, posting on X:
“With national licensed facility occupancy now below 20%, HHS was able to terminate this contract, saving taxpayers over $215M annually.”
But the photos say it all—idle golf carts, untouched cafeteria spaces, and an entire operation that was nothing more than a payday for politically connected insiders.
This isn’t an isolated case. DOGE has been digging deep into the Biden administration’s spending, and just this month, it uncovered another jaw-dropping example of government waste:
A group tied to failed Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams received at least $2 billion in grants from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). What for? Supposedly to install heat pumps, solar panels, and EV chargers in underserved communities. But there’s one small problem: Abrams’ organization reported just $100 in revenue in 2023. A $2 billion contract for a group that’s basically a financial mirage? You can’t make this up.
Now, if you thought these were just one-off discoveries, think again. The entire Trump administration is laser-focused on rooting out this kind of corruption, with DOGE and Elon Musk leading the charge.
At Trump’s first cabinet meeting, Musk made it clear: The U.S. is on track for financial ruin if this kind of reckless spending isn’t stopped. His goal? Slash federal spending by $4 billion per day, saving a staggering $1 trillion by September.
And Americans are on board. According to the latest polling, 72% of Americans support DOGE’s mission, and President Trump has even hinted at potential “DOGE dividends”—meaning savings from these cuts could eventually be returned directly to taxpayers.
The fight against government waste scored another major win on Wednesday, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of DOGE’s $2 billion funding freeze on USAID contractors. Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the administration, giving DOGE the authority to withhold payments while investigating waste, fraud, and abuse in the agency’s contracts.
