The text for the $1.5 TRILLION 2,741-page spending monstrosity that the HOUSE is voting on TODAY was released at 2:30am THIS MORNING

After taking a look at the bill, it’s pretty easy to understand why this garbage was released at the break of dawn - it funds tyranny.
This bill doesn’t do a THING to open up American oil and gas production.

It does give $14.1 billion to Biden’s Department of Interior, which has not conducted A SINGLE onshore federal oil and gas lease sale this year.

energyindepth.org/one-year-later…
This provision completely prohibits oil and gas production in a specific area in New Mexico.

Restrictions like this hurt Americans at the pump and increase our reliance on Russia for oil.
It provides $323 million of additional taxpayer dollars to EPA so it can carry out its radical climate policies.

EPA’s new methane rule alone will cost American oil and gas producers $1.2 billion a year and will thwart production.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The bill also provides $15 million to fund radical global climate activism at the UN.

These organizations are directly responsible for the disastrous Paris Climate Agreement.
Of course, this bill funds the left’s woke agenda.

It ups K-12 education funding by $2 BILLION to $42.6 billion.

This money will subsidize school districts throughout the country that are teaching CRT and radical gender ideology.

nypost.com/2021/07/14/cal…
It also provides a total of $10.1 billion to an FBI that actively targeted parents for speaking out against woke school boards.

nypost.com/2022/03/04/sta…
Speaking of radical gender ideology, there is a specific program that would expand the scope of the Violence Against WOMEN Act (VAWA) by providing services to “transgender” individuals.
This is not a joke – it actually provides taxpayer dollars to fund GENDER PROGRAMS IN PAKISTAN.
It increases funding for the Department of Homeland Security by 11%.

But record numbers of migrants and fentanyl are pouring across the border.

Secretary Mayorkas SHOULD NOT be rewarded for failing to do his job and attacking Border Patrol.

This bill advances the COVID tyranny that Americans have faced for the past 2 years.

It provides $6.3 BILLION to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is run by chief COVID tyrant…Anthony Fauci.

nypost.com/2021/09/14/gop…
It also provides nearly over a half-billion in additional funding for the CDC, which has been propagating COVID tyranny from day one.

CDC is now actively withholding COVID data from Americans.

foxnews.com/politics/rep-r…
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) get $4 billion too.

Don’t forget CMS is actively enforcing tyrannical VACCINE MANDATES against thousands of American healthcare workers.

wsj.com/articles/stret…
Speaking of vax mandates, the bill doesn’t do a single thing to address the vaccine mandates that federal employees or our military service members continue to face.

No one should be forced to choose between a taking jab or losing their job…
The bill also attacks the Second Amendment.

VAWA seeks to open criminal investigations into anyone who receives a NICS denial (90%+ of which are false positives!).

It also allows the Biden DOJ to deputize state and local law enforcement to be agents in ATF investigations.
It provides an additional $675 MILLION to IRS – the largest increase in 20 YEARS – so the agency can continue to steal from Americans.

This includes a total of $5.4 BILLION for enforcement activities.
These are only A FEW of the tyrannical ends that this garbage funds.

Not a single member of Congress should vote for this attack on the freedom of the American people.

#SWAMPSPENDING THREAD: 1) We were sent vote times & “Omnibus” spending bill at 230AM. 2) It is 2700 pages & we vote at 1000AM. 4) Top-line spending appears to be $1.512 Trillion. 3) We are told it is a 6% increase year-over-year, NOT counting Ukraine or COVID Supp… (1/6)

This week, Republicans are again faced with the decision to fund unconstitutional COVID-19 vaccine mandates for a vaccine that DOES NOT even prevent transmission or infection of COVID.

🧵🧵🧵 THREAD (1/ )
As we enter the third year of this nightmare, we must look at what we’ve learned by the decisions of our 'experts' so that our nation ensures that COVID tyranny NEVER happens again. We must hold them accountable.

Let's review...

First up, they said there would be NO MANDATE. But that of course, was a lie.

At tonight's State of the Union, Americans will hear a lot about President Biden’s “accomplishments.”

What @POTUS WILL NOT tell you is how his radical energy policies empower our enemies at the expense of American prosperity and global security.

We will.

🧵🧵🧵THREAD 1/x
From day 1, President Biden has waged war on American energy by:

-Halting oil and gas leases on federal lands and in ANWR

-Killing Keystone XL

-Rejoining the Paris Climate Accord

-Imposing onerous regulations across the board

-Empowering the dangerous ESG movement

2/x
The impact of these policies is clear.

Despite record demand for oil, U.S. production has still not recovered from its COVID slump.

In December 2021, U.S. oil production was 41.6 MILLION barrels LOWER than it was two years prior.

Christians are on trial in Finland for…

*checks notes*

“Being Christian”

You will not believe what is going on in Finland as two Christians @PaiviRasanen and Bishop Pohjola stand trial for publicly confessing Christ.

We'll break it down for you.

🧵Thread🧵 1/
Since the Summer of 2019, @PaiviRasanen and Bishop Pohjola have faced targeted harassment for living out their Christian faith; now, they’re facing criminal charges and years of prison time.

Why?
Paivi faces three charges of so-called “ethnic agitation” for expressing her belief in the teachings of the Bible by having published a pamphlet on marriage in 2004, for taking part in a discussion on a radio show in 2019, and for a tweet with a picture of a Bible passage.

As Rep Roy said, Democrats’ so-called “China bill” is not about confronting China.

It’s about increasing deficit spending on crony programs, advancing a radical climate agenda, and enacting woke garbage that has nothing to do with beating ChiComs

Let’s take a look

THREAD (1/x)
This week, the national debt hit $30 TRILLION for the first time in history.

That’s almost $250k worth of debt PER U.S. TAXPAYER.

And this bill has a price tag of $325 BILLION with no real offsets, which will make our debt crisis even worse.

wsj.com/articles/u-s-n…

(2/x)
This bill condemns China’s “nonmarket economy” and the “mass subsidization of Chinese firms”.

But it literally spends HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars on crony programs, including $52 billion on the semiconductor industry, $45 billion for “supply chains,” and much more.

During National School Choice Week we celebrate students, parents, and teachers in #TX21, across Texas, and across America, and the diverse schooling options that provide the freedom, opportunity, and high-quality education they ALL deserve.
As Big Education tries to push parents out of schools, indoctrinate our children, and do corrupt unions’ bidding, we need to keep up the fight for school choice and our students’ future. Parents in Texas, Virginia, and other states are waking up — we can never go back.
School choice is now more important than ever, that's why Rep. Roy is fighting to defund the bureaucrats trying to take away #EducationFreedom and re-empower American parents by putting them back in charge of their kids' education.
