DOGE Halts NIH Funding for Transgender Animal Experimentation

In a major victory for fiscal responsibility and government accountability, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has officially terminated several National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants that funded controversial transgender experiments on animals. These taxpayer-funded projects, which included bizarre studies on gender transitions in mice and hormone treatments for rats, became a national scandal after former President Donald Trump exposed them during a recent speech.

During his speech, Trump called out the NIH for squandering millions of taxpayer dollars on absurd experiments that served no real benefit to the American people. He specifically pointed to an $8 million grant that funded research on making mice transgender—an experiment that many conservatives saw as emblematic of the radical left’s obsession with gender ideology at the expense of common sense.

Following Trump’s remarks, DOGE swiftly announced the cancellation of these grants, including:
✅ $532,000 for cross-sex testosterone treatment in mice
✅ $33,000 for feminizing hormone therapy in male rats

The decision reinforces Trump’s longstanding commitment to cutting government waste and restoring sanity to federal spending. Under his leadership, bureaucratic bloat and unnecessary funding for leftist social experiments were aggressively targeted, a trend that continues even as watchdog groups and conservative leaders follow his example.

The White Coat Waste Project, a government accountability group that exposes wasteful spending on animal experiments, applauded Trump, DOGE, and business leader Elon Musk for taking immediate action.

Anthony Bellotti, the organization’s president, released a statement thanking Trump for standing up for taxpayers and putting an end to these disturbing, unnecessary experiments. He emphasized that American families should not be forced to fund radical gender experiments on animals—a sentiment that resonates deeply with conservative Americans who have grown tired of Washington’s reckless spending.

As shocking as these individual grants were, they represent just a fraction of the NIH’s bloated spending on transgender-related animal testing. The House Oversight Committee recently revealed that a staggering $241 million had been spent on these types of experiments—a number watchdog groups believe is only the tip of the iceberg.

Among the most disturbing experiments exposed were:
🚨 Injecting female lab rats with testosterone, then overdosing them with party drugs to study overdose tendencies in transgender individuals
🚨 Forcing hormone treatments on animals to “observe” the effects of gender transitions

These taxpayer-funded experiments have sparked outrage among conservatives, libertarians, and even some moderate Democrats, who see them as a grotesque misuse of public funds at a time when Americans are struggling with inflation, a failing economy, and an open border crisis.

Since its creation, DOGE has reportedly saved the American people $105 billion—an average of $652.17 per taxpayer—by cutting wasteful spending. The cancellation of these controversial NIH grants is another victory for fiscal conservatism and Trump’s America First policies.

For pet owners, religious conservatives, and Americans who believe in ethical research, the cancellation of these experiments represents a major step in restoring moral and financial accountability in government-funded scientific research.

This decision has also gained support from influential figures outside the government. Elon Musk, a frequent critic of government waste and leftist overreach, praised the move, calling it a “win for taxpayers and common sense.” His endorsement of DOGE’s actions further highlights the growing alliance between conservative leaders, free speech advocates, and business innovators who oppose the radical left’s influence over government institutions.

Conservative news outlets such as Fox News, The New York Post, and Breitbart have also lauded the move as an example of how conservative leadership can fight back against government waste and woke ideology.

The cancellation of these grants is part of a much larger fight to restore transparency and accountability in Washington. Trump has long argued that the deep state and radical bureaucrats have hijacked federal agencies to push leftist social agendas while ignoring the real priorities of the American people.

This case serves as a prime example of how federal agencies, when left unchecked, use taxpayer dollars to fund ideological experiments that have no place in a responsible government budget. With a return to Trump’s leadership, many Americans hope to see even more efforts to dismantle the bureaucratic machine and refocus government spending on issues that actually benefit citizens.

While the termination of these grants is a victory, conservatives warn that the fight against government waste is far from over. The NIH and other left-wing agencies have a history of hiding controversial funding deep within bureaucratic spending bills, making transparency a constant battle.

🚨 Calls for further investigations into government-funded gender ideology research
🚨 Demands for new legislation preventing taxpayer dollars from funding woke experiments
🚨 Ongoing pressure on Congress to defund other unnecessary programs

The White Coat Waste Project and other watchdog groups continue their mission to expose more instances of reckless spending. Their work is vital in ensuring that American taxpayers are not forced to fund radical, unethical, and wasteful scientific endeavors.

The decision to terminate NIH funding for transgender animal experiments is a clear victory for Trump’s legacy of government accountability and common-sense spending. It is a reminder of why so many Americans support his return to the White House in 2024—to continue cutting waste, exposing corruption, and putting the needs of hardworking American taxpayers above the interests of left-wing bureaucrats.

As the battle for fiscal responsibility rages on, one thing is clear: the American people are tired of funding absurd social experiments, and they’re ready to put an end to government waste once and for all.
