House Passes Bill 285-98, Leaving Rep. Ocasio-Cortez Reportedly Devastated
The legislation instructs the Secretary of State to create a strategy within 180 days to deter foreign governments and organizations from aiding the Taliban—especially those that receive U.S. foreign assistance. It also mandates reports to Congress on aid going to Afghanistan and emphasizes supporting Afghan women and former U.S. military partners.
The bill passed by voice vote with no objections, demonstrating strong bipartisan agreement on the core principle: American taxpayer dollars should never fund terrorists.
This is precisely the kind of decisive, common-sense action President Donald J. Trump has called for. For years, the radical left allowed billions in aid to flow into Afghanistan with little oversight, much of it ending up strengthening the Taliban. President Trump is putting an end to that madness. No more American money supporting regimes that hate us, oppress women, and threaten global security.
While one Democrat, Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-Ill.), acknowledged the bill’s bipartisan support, he still attempted to criticize the Trump administration for a lack of clarity on Afghanistan. But the American people know the truth: under President Trump, America is projecting strength, securing its interests, and refusing to waste taxpayer dollars on failed nation-building or indirect support for terrorists.
This victory in the House comes as Republicans continue to fulfill their promises. Just days ago, the House also passed a major bipartisan housing bill—the Housing for the 21st Century Act—to increase the supply of affordable homes by reducing bureaucracy, streamlining NEPA reviews, encouraging denser development, and boosting manufactured housing.
These two bills illustrate the clear difference between the parties. Republicans are focused on stopping funding for terrorists, protecting taxpayers, securing our nation, and solving real problems like the housing shortage. Radical Democrats, on the other hand, continue to promote policies that weaken America, reward failure, and prioritize foreign interests over our own citizens.
House Speaker Mike Johnson and Republican leadership deserve credit for advancing these important measures. The No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act now moves to the Senate, where it should receive swift approval. The American people are tired of seeing their hard-earned money funneled to regimes that celebrate attacks on U.S. interests.
Under President Trump’s leadership, America is rejecting the failed policies of the past. No more blank checks to terrorists. No more open borders. No more sacrificing American strength for globalist fantasies. The Republican Party is delivering the strong, principled governance voters demanded in 2024.
The radical left is reeling. Their attempts to restrict President Trump’s actions on national security and foreign policy are failing. The American people see the results: a stronger, safer, more prosperous nation that puts America First.
More victories like this are coming. The America First agenda is winning, and the radical Democrat Party continues its long decline.
