House DOGE Subcommittee Exposes Taxpayer Funding to Left-Wing NGOs

The House Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE), chaired by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, held hearings exposing how left-wing nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) allegedly misuse taxpayer funds to advance radical agendas such as open borders and green energy policies. Greene characterized these NGOs as a "fifth branch of government" that receives substantial government grants, often funneled through Democrat officials and appointees, who then benefit politically from donations by NGO leaders. Witnesses testified that billions of taxpayer dollars have been directed to NGOs, some linked to international organizations, facilitating policies like the resettlement of illegal immigrants and environmental initiatives. Examples highlighted include Power Forward Communities, which received $2 billion shortly after its establishment, raising concerns about transparency and government oversight. Critics argue that these arrangements represent corruption, waste, and abuse of federal resources, calling for the shutdown of these so-called "NGO slush funds." The hearings aim to increase transparency and accountability, with DOGE under the Trump administration and Secretary Marco Rubio taking steps to disrupt the flow of taxpayer money to these groups.
