In yet another major victory for President Trump, a federal appeals court just ruled that he is free to slash billions of dollars in foreign aid! Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit overturned a lower court’s order that blocked the Trump administration from cutting roughly $2 billion in foreign aid payments. Attorney General Pam Bondi celebrated the win: Another @TheJusticeDept victory in court for President Trump’s agenda!

In a 2-1 ruling, the DC Circuit lifted an injunction ordering President Trump to spend hard-earned taxpayer dollars on wasteful foreign aid projects. We will continue to successfully protect core Presidential authorities from judicial overreach. After President Trump sought to drastically cut foreign aid spending earlier this year, two non-profit groups sued his administration. A district court took their side and ordered the Trump administration to continue making payments. But, that ruling has just been overruled! No longer will your tax dollars be shipped overseas to fund these ‘organizations.’ Here’s what you should know about the ruling: A divided U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued a 2–1 ruling in favor of the Trump administration, granting authority to freeze, cut, or terminate billions in foreign aid previously approved by Congress. The decision overturns a lower court injunction that had required the administration to continue disbursing aid and pay out nearly $2 billion to international programs. The plaintiffs—nonprofit groups such as the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition and Journalism Development Network—were found to lack legal standing to challenge the executive action under the Impoundment Control Act; only the U.S. Comptroller General can challenge such impoundment of funds. Judge Florence Pan dissented, warning that the ruling could weaken judicial oversight of executive power and upset the constitutional checks and balances. The case will now return to district court, factoring in the appeals court’s guidance and the limitations on who may legally challenge impoundment decisions. The ruling aligns with Trump’s broader push starting with an executive order on his second inauguration day to freeze most U.S. foreign aid, including USAID and State Department programs, which had prompted multiple legal challenges over promised or pending aid. It should come as no surprise that the activist judge who ruled against President Trump cutting foreign aid in the first place is a radical leftist Canadian-born Muslim. Democrats confirmed him shortly after President Trump won the election — and, blocking the Trump administration from slashing foreign aid was one of his first big rulings. Take a look at this: ANOTHER MAJOR APPELLATE COURT WIN FOR TRUMP: 39-year-old Canadian-born (and still Canadian citizen) DC U.S. District Judge Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali, the first Muslim and Arab DC judge, clerked on the Supreme Court of Canada and later led a radical leftwing group that called for… pic.twitter.com/W3PF2fi9Hk — Mike Davis (@mrddmia) August 13, 2025 ANOTHER MAJOR APPELLATE COURT WIN FOR TRUMP: 39-year-old Canadian-born (and still Canadian citizen) DC U.S. District Judge Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali, the first Muslim and Arab DC judge, clerked on the Supreme Court of Canada and later led a radical leftwing group that called for defunding the police. In the lame-duck session after Democrats lost the White House and Senate on November 5, 2024, Senate Democrats confirmed Ali on November 20 with a vote of 50-49. In one of his first judicial acts, Judge Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali llegally ordered the President of the United States to send out $2 billion in “foreign aid” over the President’s order to pause the dispursement to perform a national-security review. Are we funding, for example, Hamas terrorists who are killing Americans–under the guise of “Gaza humanitarian relief”? In a major victory for President Trump and the presidency, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit just slapped down Judge Ali’s lawlessness: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cadc.41905/gov.uscourts.cadc.41905.01208765973.0_1.pdf Now the House must take out of the federal judiciary’s budget the $2 billion Judge Ali illegally ordered to get misspent: https://article3project.quorum.us/campaign/AmirA In many ways, the appeals court’s decision today is not just a win for the Trump agenda and the U.S. taxpayer, it’s also a clear defeat for the rogue justice system that continually tries to undermine President Trump’s mandate to the American people. Let’s keep the wins coming!
