The federal government has been caught red-handed burning through taxpayer dollars on the most ridiculous projects imaginable, including a staggering $240 million spent studying transgender rats while hardworking Americans can barely afford groceries.

Senator James Lankford (R-Okla.) just dropped his ninth annual "Federal Fumbles" report, and Patriots, you're going to be absolutely furious when you see how the administrative state has been squandering YOUR money.

The Woke Waste Machine Exposed

This damning report doesn't just highlight the transgender rat nonsense – it exposes a systematic pattern of federal agencies funding the most absurd leftist pet projects while ignoring real American priorities. The National Institutes of Health has been particularly egregious, handing out grants for aborted fetal tissue research that would make any decent American sick.

"While families struggle with inflation and rising costs, federal agencies continue to fund projects that defy common sense," Lankford's report states, pulling no punches about the government's misplaced priorities.

"This is exactly the kind of deep state waste that President Trump and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency were created to eliminate," the report implies through its detailed documentation of federal excess.

DOGE's Biggest Target

This bombshell report couldn't come at a better time. With Elon Musk leading the charge on government efficiency and Trump's second-term agenda focused on draining the swamp, Senator Lankford has just handed them a roadmap of exactly where to start cutting.

Think about it, folks – while your family debates whether you can afford that vacation or those home repairs, federal bureaucrats are spending hundreds of millions studying gender-confused rodents. This is the administrative state that the establishment wants to protect!

The American people voted for change in 2024, and reports like this prove exactly why we needed to send Trump back to Washington. How many more billions are being wasted on woke science experiments while our border remains unsecured and our infrastructure crumbles?

It's time to ask the hard question: How long will Patriots tolerate this assault on our wallets in the name of radical ideology?

This is exactly why we need a complete audit of federal spending! While families are choosing between groceries and gas, our tax dollars are going to this nonsense.

Couldn't agree more. Every penny should be accounted for.

DRAIN THE SWAMP! This kind of wasteful spending is exactly what Trump was talking about.

I'm all for scientific research that actually benefits society, but how does studying transgender rats help struggling American families? Someone needs to explain the logic here.

There is no logic - it's just agenda-driven pseudoscience masquerading as legitimate research.

This is what happens when the woke mob takes over government funding decisions. Absolutely disgusting waste of our hard-earned money.

My daughter's school can't afford new textbooks but we're spending millions on rat studies? Our priorities are completely backwards.

Does anyone know which agency approved this funding? We need names and accountability for this waste.

Probably NIH or NSF - they fund a lot of questionable research projects like this.

Unbelievable! $240 million could have fixed so many roads, bridges, or helped our veterans.
