So what’s in the GOP plan that Stefanik held up? Could be this?
- Traditional conservative orthodoxy —support for tax cuts & reductions in gov spending —typical
- Only women can compete in women's sports" — which would seek to ban trans women from playing on women's sports teams

2/- pledge to adv fed legislation to restrict abortion access
-no birth control
- opposition to any legislation to restrict gun rights, pledging to "safeguard" 2nd A.
-"conduct rigorous oversight" & "require WH to answer 4 its “incompetence” at home & abroad," & hold hearings on:

3/-origins of the coronavirus pandemic,
-U.S. withdrawal of Afghanistan,
-Justice Department's investigation into TFG & the alleged illegal possession of classified documents at his FL estate.

4/-promoting "patriotic" education, a clear reference to critical-race-theory rhetoric in the classroom, which many Republicans oppose;
-protecting individuals from being "censored"; yet the want to censor trans girls in sports? #Hypocrites

5/-they want marriage betw 1 man & 1 woman, no gay marriage,
-freedom of choice — but only for schools — meaning u can send ur kids to private school on the government’s (read taxpayers) dime!
-they want defund & abolish the departments or agencies of the IRS, DOE, Energy, HUD,..

6/Commerce, HHS, Labor, & Interior (specifically, the Bureau of Land Management), Trans Security Admin, ATF & NLRB. In the interim, executive decisions by departments or agencies must be reviewed & approved by Congress before taking effect.

7/Texas wants to restrict the power of any legislature to impose unfunded mandates.
-repeal of the Freedom Act
-Abolish National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), repeal the Emergency War Powers & Martial Law Declarations, Elimination of Executive Orders

8/-count of US citizens only in the Census and oppose Census Bureau estimates & the collection of all other data.
-oppose initiatives & referendums (so #WeThePeople cannot vote things in how want).
Texas wants a constitutional convention.
-eliminate affirmative action

9/-oppose environmentalism that obstructs legitimate business interests and private property use,
-Texas hates Livestock and Pet Location- wants repeal of the National Animal Identification System.

10/TX opposes any attempt by Congress or any fed agency to implement any policy comparable to the Fairness Doctrine ?? Srsly?

TX wants Voter Rights Act, to be repealed & not reauthorized? & insists on disenfranchising felons
