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.
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)
… 4) We can’t identify their “baseline” for saying 6% increase, it appears higher, but we cannot tell. 5) We are aware of zero actual changes to USA Oil & Gas restrictions. 6) We are aware of zero changes to COVID vax mandates… (2/6) #DefundTyranny#DefundVaxMandates
…7) We are aware of zero meaningful policy changes for our open border - only more money for CBP/ICE - which means more money to process illegal immigrants, and more money for MPP/Return to MX, which DHS is ignoring anyway!… (3/6) #SecureBorderNow
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.
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
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.
