A special #BoebertReportCard on @RepBoebert's so called "wins."

The sun came up this morning. I was outside when the sun came up. Therefore, I should get credit for the sun coming up.

Sounds silly, doesn’t it? But that’s the kind of logic Chucklehead used when [a long thread]

she touted her accomplishments for Colorado District 3 in this email. We’ll break down each of those “accomplishments.”

Virtually every item was a part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2022, HR 2471, which Chuckleheaded voted AGAINST. You remember, the one she said she

1. 1.74 Billion for Community Health Centers
This is in fact a win for rural and urban communities across the country, but it’s unclear that Chucklehead had anything at all to do with it. In August of last year, she issued a press release claiming to have secured 1.8 billion

for Community Health Centers. [boebert.house.gov/media/press-re…] In her list of amendments to appropriations (she posted in August 2021), I could only find one that dealt with rural healthcare, and the amount in that was 3 million. There was also an amendment for $1 million for veterans.

2. $515 million for PILT
This is amusing. The Payment In Lieu of Taxes funding has never been in doubt. It’s a program that’s been supported and funded since 1976.
Chucklehead is claiming credit because she wrote a letter saying “let’s keep doing this.” Her letter doesn’t even

capitalize the title of Secretary for Deb Haaland in the greeting. boebert.house.gov/sites/evo-subs…

3. $48 million for bark beetle infestations.
She wrote another letter. And her own bills and amendments to deal with bark beetle kill? Yeah, they’re going nowhere. If you want to thank someone for this funding, thank the Democratic Representatives and Senators who championed

it and did more than write a letter. Here’s her letter asking for “robust resources,” not even a specific dollar amount: boebert.house.gov/sites/evo-subs…

4. $10 million for Indian Irrigation Fund
You guessed it. She signed another letter, this one all by herself, not bothering to include other Colorado Representatives or Senators. boebert.house.gov/sites/evo-subs…

5. $1 million to compensate farmers
Yep, another letter. This one cosigned with Liz Cheney, whom Ms. Boebert denigrates at every available opportunity. I’d probably credit Liz Cheney with this win. boebert.house.gov/sites/evo-subs…

6. Important Pro-Life protections
The Hyde Amendment has been around since around 1980. It prevents federal money from being used for abortions. This year’s text is “None of the funds appropriated by this title shall be available to pay for an abortion, except where the life of

the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term, or in the case of rape or incest: Provided, That should this prohibition be declared
unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, this section shall be null and void."

7. Sage Grouse
Another letter! My goodness, her fingers must be tired of signing all these letters and all of her tweeting! This one also carries the signatures of her buddies Paul Gosar, Doug Lamborn, Louie Gohmert, and August Pfluger, among others. The prohibition has

been around since 2015, so no new work here.

8. Funding for NASA and Colorado's Space Program
This one is just odd. She’s anti-science, but claiming credit for getting $2.6 billion for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Space Launch System (SLS), $1.4 billion for the Orion Multi‐Purpose Crew Vehicle,

and $590 million for Exploration Ground Systems. You’ll note that none of these activities occur in her district.

9. Exempting livestock haulers from electronic logging mandates
I can find no record of Chucklehead having anything to do with this provision.

Oh, and if you think Chucklehead had anything to do with tracking these so called successes, think again. TX Representative

Kay Granger provides a similar list to all GOP Representatives, and even has a “Concierge Member Services staff” to help members out. You can see her letter to Chucklehead here: boebert.house.gov/sites/evo-subs…

Thanks to @notKarlJung for providing the links in her newsletter. I still refuse to give Chucklehead my email address, so I would have been working from just the image of her claims.
