Congressman Paul Gosar: Secure borders, secure ballots: the stark choice facing America

As President Donald Trump prepares to deliver his upcoming State of the Union address, the contrast in American politics could not be more clear. On one side stands an administration focused on restoring sovereignty, strengthening enforcement, and rebuilding public trust. On the other stands a Democratic Party that has repeatedly chosen obstruction over security — particularly when it comes to the border and election integrity.

In recent weeks, that divide has come into sharp focus.

After the House passed a bipartisan, full-year funding bill, Democrats blocked funding for the Department of Homeland Security at the eleventh hour, triggering a partial shutdown. The consequences were immediate: TSA agents, Coast Guard members, Secret Service personnel, and FEMA responders forced to work without pay; cybersecurity operations slowed; counterterrorism readiness strained.

This was not an unavoidable impasse. It was a deliberate political maneuver.

For border states like Arizona, the implications are deeply concerning. Our communities have lived with the consequences of federal inaction — fentanyl pouring across the border, cartel activity expanding, local law enforcement stretched thin, ranchers and families bearing the brunt of chaos. When DHS operations are disrupted, even temporarily, Arizona feels it first.

Yet rather than strengthen enforcement, many Democrats appear intent on weakening it. Shutting down Homeland Security to gain leverage over immigration policy sends a dangerous message: that political positioning matters more than border security. For families who have lost loved ones to drug trafficking or crime tied to illegal immigration, that message rings hollow.

The same troubling pattern is evident in the debate over election integrity.

The SAVE America Act, recently passed by House Republicans, affirms a simple principle: voting is a right of U.S. citizenship. It requires proof of citizenship to register and a government-issued photo ID to vote — safeguards that mirror the requirements Americans meet every day to board a plane, buy alcohol, or conduct routine transactions.

These are hardly radical proposals. They are basic measures designed to restore confidence in elections.

Yet Democrats overwhelmingly oppose them.

After years of unprecedented illegal immigration and documented weaknesses in voter registration systems, public trust demands stronger verification — not looser standards. For a border state like Arizona, where migration pressures and administrative strain intersect, maintaining accurate voter rolls is not theoretical. It is essential to ensuring lawful citizens alone determine electoral outcomes.

As President Trump takes the podium for his State of the Union, he will outline an agenda centered on secure borders, economic renewal, and institutional accountability. He will speak of enforcement restored, inflation curbed, energy unleashed, and American strength reasserted at home and abroad.

Across the aisle will sit lawmakers who recently forced a shutdown of the agency responsible for homeland security and who continue to resist basic election safeguards.

The choice before the country is unmistakable. Secure borders or political brinkmanship. Verified ballots or vulnerable systems. Enforcement of the law or erosion of it.

The contrast could not be sharper — and for Arizona, the stakes could not be higher.

Paul Gosar represents Arizona's District 9, which includes Lake Havasu City and Mohave County, in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Congressman Gosar Thanks DHS Secretary Noem for Her Transparent Response to Surprise, AZ Processing Facility

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT

Washington, DC -- Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-09) issued the following statement after receiving a detailed response from the Department of Homeland Security to his recent letter regarding the proposed ICE processing facility in Surprise, Arizona:

“I want to thank Secretary Noem for her prompt, direct, and transparent response to each of the questions I raised regarding the proposed ICE processing site in my district in Surprise, Arizona. At a time when our nation faces unprecedented challenges from illegal immigration, largely caused by the previous administration’s open-border policies, I appreciate Secretary Noem’s willingness to work collaboratively with my office to ensure that this project is carried out responsibly, securely, and with full consideration for local communities.

According to the response, the Surprise site is under consideration to serve as a 500-1,500 bed processing facility used for intake and short-term transfer of illegals placed into removal proceedings. The average length of stay would generally be three to seven days before transfer to a larger detention center. DHS further indicated that ICE anticipates onboarding such facilities by the end of Fiscal Year 2026, subject to the procurement process and available funding.

Secretary Noem’s response outlined that the facility would adhere to ICE National Detention Standards, include a fully staffed on-site medical unit, reimburse local partners for emergency services, and maintain robust security staffing to ensure the safety of detainees, personnel, and surrounding communities. DHS is also committed to continued engagement with state and local stakeholders and congressional oversight as the project advances.

However, DHS made clear that the Democrats’ current government shutdown is directly impacting its ability to provide specific timelines for development and operational commencement.

Nearly a century ago, Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis warned that when a government fails to uphold the law, it “breeds contempt for law” and “invites anarchy.” His words remain relevant today. When federal immigration law is ignored, unfunded, or obstructed for political gain, the result is disorder at our border and danger in our communities. The American people deserve a federal government that enforces the law consistently and without apology.

Unfortunately, Democrats’ partisan political stunts are once again interfering with the core mission of protecting the American people. The ongoing shutdown is preventing DHS from establishing a realistic and transparent timetable for this critical public safety project. Every day Democrats continue this reckless obstruction they delay border security efforts and put American lives at risk.

Border security is national security. Democrats must end their political games, reopen the government immediately, and allow DHS and ICE to do their jobs. The safety of Arizona communities – and all Americans – cannot be held hostage to partisan theatrics.

I will continue to work closely with Secretary Noem, ICE officials and local stakeholders to ensure transparency, accountability, and the safety of Arizona residents as this project moves forward,” concluded Congressman Paul Gosar.

Gosar Seeks Answers from DHS on Reported Immigration Detention Facility in Surprise

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT

Washington, DC -- Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-09), issued the following statement in response to sending a formal letter to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) seeking answers regarding reports that a warehouse facility in Surprise, Arizona may be converted into a large-scale federal immigration detention center:

“The rule of law is not optional. I strongly support Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws. Detention capacity is a necessary component of a functioning immigration system—particularly after years of reckless open-border policies under the Biden administration that allowed millions of illegal aliens to flood into the United States, overwhelming resources and forcing reactive federal measures that could have been avoided.

At the same time, while immigration policy is set at the federal level, its impacts are felt most acutely at the local level. Reports of a large-scale detention facility in Surprise raise legitimate questions for residents, schools, first responders, and local governments. Concerns about infrastructure, traffic, emergency services, and public safety deserve serious and transparent consideration and Empowering state and local officials in decisions that affect their communities consistently produces the most effective outcomes.

These are not anti-illegal alien concerns. They are common-sense expectations of transparency and coordination. I trust that DHS will work cooperatively with state and local officials and communicate openly with the communities affected by its decisions.

“My goal is straightforward: immigration enforcement must be carried out effectively while respecting the legitimate interests of the communities that bear its local impacts. I am confident that DHS will provide clear answers and will work collaboratively with local stakeholders moving forward,” stated Congressman Paul Gosar.

BACKGROUND:

Recent reports indicate that the Department of Homeland Security may convert a warehouse facility in Surprise, Arizona into a large-scale federal immigration detention center. Surprise is a rapidly growing community, and any facility of this scale has the potential to significantly affect local infrastructure, traffic patterns, public safety resources, and emergency services.

In response, Congressman Gosar, who represents Surprise and the surrounding area, sent a formal oversight letter to DHS requesting detailed information about the proposal. The letter affirms strong support for ICE and the enforcement of federal immigration law, while emphasizing the importance of transparency, planning, and coordination with state and local officials.

The letter requests answers regarding the facility’s capacity, operational structure, security measures, funding sources, infrastructure impacts, and whether the site would operate on a temporary or permanent basis. It also seeks clarity on DHS’s consultation with local governments and first responders, as well as how the department plans to communicate with residents and Congress if the facility moves forward.

Congressman Gosar’s inquiry reflects his constitutional oversight responsibilities and his commitment to ensuring that federal immigration enforcement is conducted transparently, without disregarding the legitimate interests of the communities most directly affected.

Gosar Statement Lauding Senate Passage of the La Paz County Solar Energy and Jobs Creation Act

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

Washington, DC -- Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-09), issued the following statement following Senate passage of H.R. 1043, the La Paz County Solar Energy and Job Creation Act,legislation introduced by Congressman Gosar requiring the Secretary of the Interior to convey 3,400 acres of Bureau of Land Management land to La Paz County to help maximize additional renewable energy generation and energy storage capabilities, enhance the County tax base and facilitate transformative economic development:

“I applaud the Senate’s passage of my bipartisan legislation to unlock responsible solar development in La Paz County. H.R. 1043 conveys 3,400 acres of BLM land to strengthen the county’s tax base, create good-paying local jobs, and expand domestic renewable energy and storage capacity—advancing America’s energy independence.

This bill builds on my long-standing work, including the 2019 La Paz County Land Conveyance Act,to establish the county as a regional energy hub. By removing unnecessary federal barriers while preserving environmental stewardship, H.R. 1043 will attract private investment, lower energy costs, and drive lasting economic growth.

At a time when Americans are demanding affordable energy and economic growth, this legislation does both. I look forward to President Trump signing my legislation into law,” stated Congressman Paul Gosar.

Background:

H.R. 1043 passed in the House of Representatives on July 21, 2025, and passed in the Senate last evening. The 3,400 acres proposed for conveyance in this legislation includes those remaining parcels in the original proposal that were not enacted into law and adds other parcels that are also compatible for clean energy development needed to unlock additional employment opportunities for La Paz County residents.

Gosar Statement Applauding U.S. Department of Education for Recognizing Grand Canyon University’s Nonprofit Status

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-09) issued the following statement praising the U.S. Department of Education’s decision to formally recognize Grand Canyon University (GCU) as a nonprofit institution of higher education, bringing a long-overdue end to years of political interference and bureaucratic hostility:

“I applaud the U.S. Department of Education for finally doing what should have been done years ago: recognizing Grand Canyon University as the nonprofit institution it is. This decision is a victory for fairness, the rule of law, and religious freedom.

For far too long, GCU was subjected to unjustified scrutiny and ideological bias. The previous administration’s refusal to acknowledge its nonprofit status was not about facts or compliance; it was about politics and an unacceptable hostility toward the largest Christian university in the nation.

Grand Canyon University met the legal and regulatory requirements yet was repeatedly targeted by the Biden administration because it dared to operate openly and unapologetically according to its Christian values. That is not how a free country treats religious institutions, and it is certainly not how the federal government should treat one of Arizona’s most successful higher education institutions.

I commend GCU’s leadership, students, and faculty for persevering through years of uncertainty and fighting to ensure that no administration ever again weaponizes the federal bureaucracy against religious schools simply for living out their values,” stated Congressman Paul Gosar.

It’s Time to End OPT and Put American Workers First

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

It’s Time to End OPT and Put American Workers First

the Daily Signal published my editorial regarding the Optional Practical Training Program (OPT), a little known, unauthorized guest worker program that operates outside the law, undercuts American students, and exposes our nation to significant economic and national-security risks.

For too long, Washington has allowed a massive, unauthorized foreign guest-worker pipeline to operate outside the law, undercut American students, and expose our nation to significant economic and national-security risks. It’s called Optional Practical Training, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement program created by bureaucratic fiat in 1992 and radically expanded by the Obama administration.

And Congress never authorized a word of it.

That is why it is time—past time—for Congress to pass my legislation, HR 2315, the Fairness for High-Skilled Americans Act, and finally shut this program down.

Optional Practical Training was designed to allow foreign students with F-1 visas to remain in the United States after completing their studies. But instead of a short transition period, the program has ballooned into a sprawling, de facto guest-worker system allowing foreign nationals—many of whom studied here for only a single year—to stay and work in STEM fields for up to three years. It now serves as a shadow substitute for the H-1B visa program, circumventing the very caps Congress put in place to protect American workers.

Advocates claim OPT fills workforce gaps. In reality, it helps create them. Employers are heavily incentivized to hire OPT workers because those workers are exempt from FICA and Medicare payroll taxes, generating a government-subsidized discount for Big Tech and Big Pharma.

According to independent analyses, this loophole costs the Social Security and Medicare trust funds roughly $4 billion every year. Meanwhile, American STEM graduates—who worked hard, paid taxes, and played by the rules—are pushed to the back of the hiring line.

The numbers tell the story. In 2024 alone, ICE authorized work permits for nearly 200,000 OPT participants, a 21% jump from the previous year, with tens of thousands more through the STEM extension.

The beneficiaries overwhelmingly come from countries like China and India—nations whose strategic interests do not always align with our own. And the federal government lacks even basic visibility into how many foreign graduates are actually working in sensitive American industries at any given moment. ICE itself has admitted its recordkeeping is inadequate.

This isn’t just an economic issue—it’s a national security one. A 2022 Government Accountability Office report warned that ICE has not evaluated OPT’s vulnerability to espionage or foreign interference. Yet the Department of Homeland Security continues expanding the list of OPT-eligible STEM fields to include artificial intelligence, telecommunications, semiconductor engineering, nuclear engineering, missile systems, reproductive biology, and critical infrastructure management—sectors our adversaries are actively targeting.

Why would we invite foreign students from strategic competitors to work inside America’s most sensitive research, technology, and defense sectors—often without meaningful oversight? Why would we maintain an unregulated guest-worker pipeline that Congress never approved? And why would we subsidize it with taxpayer dollars?

The answer is simple: We shouldn’t.

Small businesses in my great state of Arizona and all across the country—the backbone of the American economy—are the ones most harmed by this dysfunctional system. They cannot compete with multibillion-dollar corporations that reap tax advantages for hiring cheaper foreign labor.

Meanwhile, American graduates, especially in STEM fields, face an uphill battle securing good-paying jobs in industries their own tax dollars helped build.

The solution is equally simple: terminate OPT. Because the program was created unilaterally by the executive branch, it can be ended with the stroke of a pen. But to ensure it stays gone—and to prevent future administrations from resurrecting similar schemes—Congress must act.

The Fairness for High-Skilled Americans Act permanently ends the OPT program and prohibits any future administration from recreating it without explicit authorization from Congress. It restores congressional authority over immigration policy, protects American workers, strengthens national security, and closes a tax loophole that drains billions from Social Security and Medicare.

President Donald Trump is fighting to restore the “America First” priorities that put our families, students, and workers first. Congress must do the same. The American people have been clear: They want an immigration system that serves them—not Big Tech, not multinational corporations, and not foreign adversaries.

It is time to end the largest unregulated guest-worker program in the country. It is time to protect American students and safeguard our critical industries. And it is time to pass HR 2315.

America’s future—and the security of its workforce—depends on it.

Reps. Gosar and Crane Reintroduce Bill Placing 10-Year Moratorium on All Immigration

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 05:00:00 GMT

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-09) issued the following statement after joining Arizona Congressman Eli Crane in reintroducing H.R. 6374, legislation providing a 10-year moratorium on all immigration into the United States:

“Last week’s tragic shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. within a few feet of the White House on Thanksgiving eve by Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal is a sad reminder of Joe Biden’s reckless and unchecked open-border policies.

Our immigration system is overwhelmed and unmanageable thanks in large part to the previous administration’s open border policies, poorly vetted asylum claims, and visa overstays. We cannot maintain a lawful immigration process when we cannot control our borders or account for who is entering our country.

Fraudulent asylum claims, illicit trafficking, and insufficient vetting present real threats to our national security, our economy, and our citizens. Adversaries are exploiting these failures. Americans are being murdered. Meanwhile, schools, hospitals, law enforcement, and local governments—especially in border states like Arizona—are stretched to their limits.

Immigration must be legal, orderly, and in the national interest. Every nation has the right and responsibility to secure its borders and protect its people. I’m proud to join my friend and colleague Representative Eli Crane in reintroducing this legislation, which imposes a 10-year moratorium on all immigration until our system is restored, our borders are secured, and future immigration can occur safely and in a way that strengthens our country,” stated Congressman Paul Gosar.

"One of our most important responsibilities as representatives is to protect the citizens of our great nation. Due to the premeditated border invasion under the Biden administration, Americans have faced devastating consequences. I’m proud to join Rep. Paul Gosar in introducing this sensible legislation to restore stability and help reestablish security within our borders,” stated Congressman Eli Crane.

Obamacare: Premiums Went Up, Coverage Went Down, and Insurance Companies Got Filthy Rich!

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 05:00:00 GMT

Obamacare: Premiums Went Up, Coverage Went Down, and Insurance Companies Got Filthy Rich!

https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/11/24/obamacare-premiums-went-up-coverage-went-down-and-insurance-companies-got-filthy-rich/

For more than a decade, Americans have lived under the Affordable Care Act—legislation President Barack Obama sold on promises that you can keep your plan, you can keep your doctor, lower premiums, greater choice, improved access, and those with preexisting medical conditions will be protected.

Yet families across the country know the truth: premiums continue to rise, deductibles have exploded, many illegal aliens are enrolled in taxpayer-subsidized ACA plans, and too many hardworking people still struggle to find a doctor who will take their insurance.

Far from covering every American, Obamacare has left more than 28 million uninsured, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The ACA is not delivering the affordability or accountability Americans deserve, and Congress has a responsibility to act.

Reforming our health care system does not require tearing it down; it requires taking it seriously. That begins with rigorous oversight. For years, Congress has allowed insurance companies, pharmacy benefit managers, and other industry giants to operate without meaningful scrutiny. We must change that. As of 2023, the CEOs of the five largest health insurers made roughly $75 million in annual compensation, while American families’ premiums have risen to nearly $26,000 a year.

In all, since Obamacare became law, more than $9 trillion of taxpayer-funded revenue has flowed to health insurance companies. It is time to bring health insurance executives and actuarial experts before Congress and demand real answers about why costs keep rising, despite health insurers raking in nearly $400 billion in record profits and expanding federal subsidies since Obamacare became law.

Hearings and audits should be routine—not rare. We need a transparent accounting of where health care dollars go, how pricing decisions are made, and why American families continue footing the bill for a system that does not put patients first. Greater oversight is not about punishing success; it is about ensuring accountability to the public.

And accountability must include transparency. Any health insurer that accepts taxpayer-funded dollars—whether through the Obamacare exchanges, Medicaid managed care, or subsidized employer plans—should be required to publicly disclose and justify proposed rate increases, just as public utilities often must. If public utilities are expected to defend every rate hike affecting household budgets, health insurers receiving billions in taxpayer support should be held to the same standard. Rate decisions that impact millions of families must be open to public scrutiny, not buried in fine print.

As a doctor, I know firsthand that congressional oversight alone will not fix what is broken. We must also tackle one of the most persistent and overlooked drivers of cost: lawsuit abuse. Defensive medicine—tests and procedures ordered primarily to avoid lawsuits—adds billions each year to the cost of care. A straightforward “loser pays” tort reform model would discourage frivolous litigation, reduce unnecessary medical expenses, and help stabilize malpractice premiums for doctors, particularly those practicing in rural and high-risk specialties. Patients would still have the right to pursue legitimate claims, but bad-faith lawsuits would no longer be rewarded.

At the same time, we should be incentivizing wellness instead of simply paying for illness. Chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart disease account for the majority of health care spending. Encouraging preventive care, fitness, nutrition, and disease management programs—through tax credits, insurance incentives, and community-based partnerships—would reduce long-term costs and improve Americans’ quality of life. Wellness is also fully aligned with President Donald Trump’s focus on making America healthy again and reducing preventable diseases. And we must acknowledge a hard truth: Efforts to provide taxpayer-funded insurance to illegal aliens inevitably strain the system to the breaking point—ultimately leaving no one truly insured. A healthier nation is a more prosperous one.

Finally, we must embrace the best health care technologies available. From telehealth to artificial intelligence-driven diagnostics to digital health monitoring, innovation offers the most promising path to lowering costs and expanding access.

During the pandemic, millions of Americans, including those in my rural district in Arizona, discovered that many appointments could be handled virtually, saving time and money. Congress should build on that progress by modernizing outdated regulations, expanding rural broadband, and ensuring insurers adequately reimburse technology-enabled care. The private sector is producing world-class tools; government should clear the way for their widespread use.

Reforming the ACA and our broader health care system is not about partisanship—it is about responsibility. American families cannot endure another decade of Obamacare broken promises. They deserve a system that is public and transparent, accountable, fair, innovative, and affordable. Through strong oversight, responsible legal reform, wellness incentives, and modern technology, we can deliver a health care system worthy of the people it serves.

Congress must lead and the time for real reform is now.

The Truth Behind the Overhyped Election Results and the Schumer Shutdown

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 05:00:00 GMT

Newsmax: Rep. Gosar: Election Results Were No Surprise in Blue States

If you’re shocked that Democrats won elections in New York, New Jersey, and Virginia, I have an ocean to sell you in Arizona. These weren’t surprise victories—they were predictable outcomes in deep-blue states.

In New Jersey, Democrats were leading by double digits days before Election Day. Five of the last six governors have been Democrats. In Virginia, the governor’s race was never close, with polls showing an 11-point Democrat lead. And let’s not forget, Senator Chuck Schumer engineered a record-breaking federal government shutdown to boost turnout from angry furloughed federal workers in the Democrat-heavy suburbs of Northern Virginia. Even in New York City, the socialist Democrat candidate for mayor underperformed expectations, winning by far less than predicted.

Democrats and their media allies are now spinning these routine wins as an unexpected “blue wave” to justify their continued refusal to reopen the government. Don’t buy it. Every Democrat strategist knew they’d win these states—the only shock would’ve been if they hadn’t.

The Schumer Shutdown has nothing to do with COVID-era health policies. The pandemic ended more than two years ago, and Democrats themselves voted to make the temporary Obamacare expansions expire this December. Now they’re demanding those same pandemic credits be made permanent—or they’ll keep the government closed.

The truth is, this shutdown is a calculated political stunt to stall President Trump and Republican momentum. As Americans grow tired of inflation, open borders, and reckless spending, Republicans are gaining ground with real solutions—restoring fiscal responsibility, securing the border, cutting taxes, and strengthening public safety. A prolonged shutdown conveniently freezes that progress.

By dragging it out, Democrats hope to shift blame, hide their failed record, and distract from the economic, immigration, and public safety crises they created. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are paying the price: 42 million SNAP recipients missed benefits, two million workers missed paychecks, and tens of thousands of flights have been canceled.

This isn’t leadership—it’s political gamesmanship at the expense of the American people. It’s time to end the Schumer Shutdown and let Congress get back to work for the nation.

Wasteful and Woke Animal Tests Axed by the Trump Administration

Wasteful and Woke Animal Tests Axed by the Trump Administration

https://amgreatness.com/2025/09/25/wasteful-and-woke-animal-tests-axed-by-the-trump-administration/

By Rep. Paul Gosar and Anthony Bellotti

For decades, the federal government has forced American taxpayers to bankroll billions each year in grotesque and wasteful animal experiments. From implanting pieces of aborted human fetuses into lab animals, to subjecting mice and monkeys to transgender hormone therapies, to butchering beagles, bureaucrats like Dr. Anthony Fauci have treated your hard-earned money as their personal slush fund for fringe science projects that are both immoral and ineffective.

Thanks to our years of collaboration, we are finally turning the tide on this wasteful spending. In just the past several weeks, we have notched major wins against taxpayer-funded animal experiments.

For instance, since 2019, we’ve been working together to uncover and stop government funding for barbaric and unnecessary animal experiments using human fetal tissue.

For years, White Coat Waste’s dogged use of the Freedom of Information Act has exposed how the National Institutes of Health has funneled millions each year into labs that implant scalps, fingers, and other body parts from aborted fetuses into mice and other animals. These sickening projects greenlit by Dr. Fauci and others subjected these “humanized” animals to invasive surgeries, virus injections, and gruesome deaths—all funded with your tax dollars.

The first Trump administration enacted a policy prohibiting funding for these experiments, but it was reversed soon after Joe Biden took office in 2021 and the spending commenced, until now.

In early September, less than 24 hours after a new WCW investigation found that 17 Biden-era human fetal tissue grants that received $22 million last year were still being funded by the NIH, the agency pledged not to renew the funding.

This marks a major win, but there are even more government-funded Frankenstein animal experiments to fight.

Late last year, we worked together to expose how the NIH wasted tens of millions subjecting monkeys, mice and other animals to invasive surgeries and hormone therapies to crudely simulate gender transitions in adults and kids—only to later wound, shock, and inject the animals with viruses, vaccines, and even overdoses of sex-party drugs.

The shocking investigation caught the attention of the White House and prompted President Donald Trump to publicly criticize these transgender animal experiments as egregious government waste. The Department of Government Efficiency then canceled many of the NIH grants that we exposed. These Trump spending cuts have already saved millions of tax dollars and thousands of animals from abuse.

But some other active NIH grants have sneakily sent money in the past to transgender animal tests, so we have been working to ensure that no taxpayer funding is wasted ever again on these disturbing experiments.

We had a breakthrough last week when the House Appropriations Committee passed an amendment we championed to cut all NIH funding for transgender animal experiments in the agency’s 2026 spending bill.

Moving the needle against entrenched bureaucracies like NIH is no small feat. But when WCW investigations reveal the truth, and when Congress exercises oversight and its power of the purse, even the most unaccountable government labs are forced to retreat.

There’s still more work to do. The NIH wastes about 40 percent of its $48 billion budget on animal experiments, and bloated bureaucracies like this will not give up their addiction to wasteful animal testing willingly.

The Trump administration wants a 40 percent NIH budget cut and we are trying to isolate and eliminate as much spending there as possible, starting with Fauci’s pet projects.

No more aborted baby parts in lab mice. No more transgender monkeys. We are also pressing the agency to end all of its Fauci-era experiments on dogs and cats and commit to not funding new ones.

Cutting the NIH’s wasteful animal testing is progress that pro-life, pro-liberty and pro-animal Americans can all celebrate.
