The NDAA does NOT permanently repeal the vaccine mandate.
Declarations of victory are premature.🧵
Sec. 525 of the bill requires the DOD to rescind the memo establishing the mandate w/in 30 days, but does not prohibit them from re-establishing the mandate.
Do we really think that the administration won’t take advantage of this?
We already know the Biden admin desperately wants the mandate in place.
What’s to stop the DOD from bringing the vax mandate back? Nothing.
Weeks before the 2020 election, the FBI announced it had foiled an alleged plot to kidnap the Michigan governor.
But now, in 2022, the story is VERY different. What happened, who authorized this operation, and is this typical of the DOJ's domestic terrorism unit?

This past April, 2 of the men charged were acquitted on grounds of entrapment. The jury was hung on 2 others, and their retrial begins next month.
How did we get here? This was one of the biggest domestic terror ops in decades.
At the start of the trial, Buzzfeed News reported that the government was using “bare-knuckle tactics” & “leaving nothing to chance” in its case. buzzfeednews.com/article/kenben…
I voted against the FY23 NDAA. This bill hurts our troops and fails to meet the moment. Business as usual in Washington is not good enough – Congress cannot continue to rubber-stamp massive spending binges with nearly zero accountability. (1/5)
This bill does nothing to end Biden’s vaccine mandate, which is an intentional purge of thousands of our best and bravest troops. As the NDAA refuses to protect our troops from Biden’s vaxx mandate, it also further entrenches our nation in unwise foreign policy blunders. (2/5)
The bill allocates an additional $1 billion to Ukraine with no accountability measures and offers Congressional support for permanently stationing troops in Poland. (3/5)
