$200 Million to Illegals, 40 Million Americans Go Hungry
Democrats fund health care for border crossers — then cut off food stamps for U.S. citizens.
Good Morning, it’s Friday, October 31st, 2025. Happy Halloween 🎃
It’s Halloween, but the scariest monsters aren’t in costumes — they’re wearing congressional pins and signing spending bills with a straight face.
Today’s tale of political horror includes:
A $200 million health care handout to illegal immigrants.
40 million Americans are losing food aid as Democrats keep the government shut.
Trump is slashing tariffs, flipping China, and making soybeans great again.
And yes — BLM might’ve actually lost track of $90 million in donations.
Happy Friday. The masks are off — and the Left’s agenda is more terrifying than a Pelosi cackle at midnight.
Don’t leave your friends in the dark. Forward this issue before SNAP benefits disappear and the airports shut down.
And hit reply if you’ve got thoughts — or a scarier Halloween headline than this one.

$200 Million, 1 Big Lie: Illegals Are Getting Your Health Care Dollars
Democrats said it was a “GOP scare tactic.” The receipts say otherwise
Just days before Congress braced for another shutdown showdown, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries stood before the press, wagging a finger at Republicans.
“No, Democrats are not trying to fund health care for illegal immigrants,” he insisted. “That would require changing federal law — and no one’s talking about that.”
Corporate media echoed the line. NBC News ran with: “GOP misleads with claim that Democrats shut down to give health care to ‘illegal immigrants.’”
That headline? Already aged like spoiled milk.
Because this week, government watchdog Open The Books dropped a 6-alarm report that rips the mask off the Left’s latest con. The truth: at least $200 million in direct federal grants have gone to health care programs for illegal immigrants — and that’s just scratching the surface.
The money flows through NIH, HRSA, and earmarks you’d need a microscope to find in appropriations bills. In short, your tax dollars are footing the bill for illegals. Not metaphorically. Literally.
Let’s walk through the receipts:
$2.4 million to UCLA to study “reproductive healthcare among Asian immigrant women,” including illegals, with the goal of improving “sexual and reproductive health equity.”
$1 million to research “culturally relevant DUI prevention” for undocumented immigrants, based on data that they binge drink more often than residents, but drive less to avoid detection.
$18,678 to study end-of-life care disparities for undocumented Hispanics.
$2.6 million to provide opioid treatment services — including buprenorphine — for undocumented adults in East L.A.
And that’s just NIH.
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), a branch of HHS, shoveled $75.6 million into health programs that included illegal immigrants — much of it through HIV care programs like the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Bureau.
And then there’s California’s Medicaid money-laundering trick:
According to health policy expert Elle Minarik, California expands access to illegals through state-level Medicaid initiatives — then bills the federal government for “reimbursements” it shouldn’t be eligible for.
Result? California raked in $65.5 million in federal tax dollars for illegal immigrant health care. Florida was a distant second with $26 million. D.C. pulled in $22 million.
This is what happens when red tape becomes a smokescreen.

And there’s blood on the line.
Joe Abraham’s daughter, Katie — 20 years old — was killed in a car crash earlier this year. The driver: a deported illegal immigrant, back in the U.S., drunk, going 78 mph in a Chicago mixed-zone area.
His plea deal? 30 years in prison.
Her family’s grief? Lifelong.
Meanwhile, the NIH was busy researching why undocumented immigrants don’t understand DUI laws.
Earmarks? Of course there are.
Sen. Chuck Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand helped push $1.5 million to NYU Langone Hospitals to build a cancer center in a “high-poverty” NYC district. Half the population is foreign-born, many undocumented.
But sure — tell us again how no taxpayer money is funding health care for illegals.
“When elected officials argue that taxpayer dollars aren’t going to illegal immigrants — that just isn’t true.”
— John Hart, CEO of Open The Books
The real scandal?
It’s not just the money — it’s the lie.
Democrats swore the law made this impossible. But the bureaucracy made it happen anyway. Through grants, pilot programs, Medicaid gymnastics, and fine print they’re betting you’ll never read.
This isn’t a “loophole.” It’s a deliberate design.
Bottom Line:
While Americans struggle to afford basic care, the Biden holdovers in federal agencies are quietly rerouting your money to fund illegal immigrant services — and lying about it on TV.
They didn’t just leave the border open. They opened your wallet.
Trump Plays Hardball, Xi Blinks First
Tariffs drop. China opens the checkbook. U.S. farmers cash in.
President Trump just pulled off a geopolitical judo move that would make Kissinger blush. After a high-stakes, behind-closed-doors meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the APEC Summit, Trump slashed tariffs on Chinese goods from 57% to 47% — and in return?
Beijing committed to a massive U.S. ag buyout: 25 million metric tons of soybeans over three years, 12 million before year’s end.
They also promised to crack down on fentanyl exports — a move long demanded by border-state governors.
And Xi agreed to maintain rare earth mineral exports, staving off a potential tech and defense supply chain crisis.
Even bigger? China’s set to purchase U.S. oil and gas, possibly starting with Alaska.
“On a scale of zero to 10, it was a 12,” Trump told reporters.
“Very significantly, China has strongly stated that they will work diligently with us to stop the flow of Fentanyl into our Country.”
The Trump team on-site read like a killer’s row of dealmakers: Rubio, Bessent, Lutnick, Greer, Wiles. Treasury Secretary Bessent said final signatures could come “as soon as next week.”
Bottom Line: While Biden begged foreign leaders to take his calls, Trump’s negotiating with leverage and leaving with receipts. America First isn’t a slogan — it’s a signed trade deal.
Think mass surveillance is a future threat?
It’s not. This unredacted report reveals how foreign allies and private firms are already running the playbook — and why most Americans never realize it’s happening until it’s too late.
Democrats Shut It Down — 40 Million Go Hungry
Emmer drops the hammer: “Tragic result” of political hostage-taking.
The Democrat-led government shutdown is about to get very real — and very ugly. Starting November 1, over 40 million Americans are set to lose access to food assistance unless Democrats cave and pass a clean funding bill.
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer says it flat-out: the hunger crisis is a manufactured disaster, caused by Democrats holding the government hostage to force through unrelated policy demands.
“We have roughly 400,000 SNAP recipients in Minnesota. These are people that are most in need,” Emmer told DCNF. “We can’t have this tragic result happen.”
What’s at stake:
1 in 8 Americans risk losing food aid, including millions of children.
14,000+ air traffic controllers missed full paychecks this week — triggering travel delays and ground stops at major airports.
States are deploying National Guard units to food banks in anticipation of SNAP aid collapse.
Democrats have already rejected 13 House-passed funding bills — including ones that fund troops, WIC, and SNAP.
And now even Democrat-aligned unions are breaking ranks. The American Federation of Government Employees, the biggest federal workers union, is begging for a “clean” resolution — the same one Schumer keeps blocking.
“We just need five reasonable Senate Democrats,” Emmer said. “Americans are smarter than Chuck Schumer gives them credit for.”
Bottom Line: Hunger, travel chaos, paycheck gaps — all courtesy of Schumer’s ego. This isn’t a shutdown. It’s a Democrat stunt with real human cost.

Together with The Ledger
The $200 Million Cover-Up
They said it was impossible.
They said, “No taxpayer money for illegals.”
Then came the audit.
NIH. HHS. Medicaid reimbursements.
Over $200 million gone — to programs they swore didn’t exist.
Exactly what The Ledger has been documenting — the bureaucracy that lies with a budget line.
👉 Upgrade and read the file they hoped no one would open.
They said no tax dollars go to illegals.
They said the shutdown wouldn’t hurt anyone.
They said “trust the science,” and handed millions to woke researchers studying drunk driving rates in undocumented immigrants.
This isn’t just corruption — it’s contempt. For you. For truth. For America.
And the longer we pretend this is normal, the more chaos they’ll fund.

P.S. Democrats are running the government like a bad horror flick — bloated budget, invisible villains, and the good guys always punished first. The kicker? We’re the ones stuck footing the bill and watching the show.
