I’ll vote against a clean CR that funds everything in 2025 at 2024 levels because:
1. @SpeakerJohnson isn’t following the provision in law that would have cut everything by 1% if the CR extended past April.
2. We should not fund the waste, fraud, and abuse that Doge has found.
3. These are supposed to be 12 separate bills.
4. We were told that the CR in December that got us to March would allow us to prioritize Trump’s agenda this March using the checkbook.
Ps @bresreports incorrectly reports I’ll be voting No on the “rule” and refuses to correct his article in spite of being notified of his mistake. What a goof.
🧵 4/6
$3M for "Being LGBTQ in the Caribbean" (whatever that means?)
$7M for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) speaker series IN CANADA!
$16K for "united and equal queer-feminist discourse" IN ALBANIA!

In case, you’ve forgotten what lunacy is being funded by foreign aid, here is a reminder:
$14M for cash vouchers for illegal migrants
$55K for a climate change presentation by female & LGBT journalists IN ARGENTINA!

But watch your Congress person closely. In a matter of days, Congress will vote to continue foreign aid at current levels for another year. What an insult to the American taxpayer.
🧵🚨 1/6
You would think that the revelations concerning the State Dept. paying for Trans operas, comic books, and such would shame Congress into reducing foreign aid...
We have many stupid laws in this country but one of the stupidest laws is the one that heavily regulates sound reduction devices for firearms, also know as suppressors.
These helpful hearing protection devices aren’t regulated at all in countries like New Zealand & South Africa.
US tariffs inevitably bring Canadian, Mexican, and Chinese tariffs which means higher prices for lumber, steel, aluminum and more expensive homes and cars.
