The wheels of government sometimes turn with all the grace of a three-legged elephant on ice skates, and the recent findings from the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency only confirm this sad reality. The agency unearthed a shocking revelation that a senior aide to President Biden has been raking in taxpayer dollars like a kid at a carnival game. This revelation centers on the Pecos facility, which was supposed to serve as a haven for unaccompanied migrant children but has been as empty as a Democrat’s promise to cut spending.
The organization at the center of this financial charade is Family Endeavors, a Texas nonprofit linked to a member of Biden’s transition team. This is the same nonprofit that has seen its finances balloon from a modest $8.3 million in 2020 to a staggering $520.4 million by 2023, all funded by the federal government. Such growth should impress any investor, but when the returns are funded by American taxpayers, eyebrows ought to raise. The irony here is rich, especially given that the facility has remained devoid of residents throughout a crisis that has seen a massive influx of migrants.
Since March 2024, Family Endeavors has been pocketing a cool $18 million every month to run this ghost operation, despite sending blank reports that claim the facility is as full as a politician’s promise—meaning not even a single child has set foot inside. The Department of Health and Human Services finally decided to cut the money spigot, potentially saving taxpayers over $215 million a year. It’s hard to believe that after all that cash flow, the facility stood quiet, with only a fleet of idle golf carts and an untouched cafeteria to show for it.
In the meantime, President Trump has continued to show that he is the right man for the job, cutting back on Biden’s expansive and ineffective asylum programs, which had turned the border into a revolving door for illegal crossings. As a result, the numbers have plummeted to levels not seen in years, proving that a little common sense goes a long way.
EXPOSED: DOGE Bombshell Reveals Biden Aide Earned Millions Through Shady Contract. https://t.co/awvh5NXQrQ #DiamondandSilk

The expose from DOGE is just part of a much larger picture that suggests a web of connections between the Biden administration and financial backers that go deeper than most realize. Recently, another revelation showed that an organization linked to Stacey Abrams had received over $2 billion for projects that generated a paltry $100 in revenue in 2023. It raises questions about whether these funds were truly aimed at benefitting communities or more aimed at padding the pockets of politically connected individuals.
Elon Musk and DOGE are leading the charge to eliminate wasteful federal spending, with Musk boldly predicting a reduction in expenditures by a whopping $4 billion per day. Public sentiment is on their side, with a solid 72% of Americans supporting their mission to bring fiscal responsibility back to the government. The stakes are high, and as the average American waits to see some relief in the form of potential tax dividends thanks to these savings, they can only hope that the waste is rooted out before it becomes just another line of the bloated budget.
