There’s a $1,000,000 earmark in the omnibus bill for an LGBTQ center where people have bdsm sex parties.

After @libsoftiktok & I exposed it, the earmarks’ sponsor wants to remove it from the bill.

There’s just one problem, it’s stuck in the bill we are voting on this week!🤦‍♂️
This brings an entirely new meaning to “whipping a bill.”

🚨 CDC discloses they have at least a dozen medical industry LOBBYING GROUPS, officially SERVING alongside 15 voting members, on ACIP, the supposedly independent vaccine board that just approved the 9th booster shot.

CDC list of the ACIP board:

Here is CDC’s list of “liaison members” serving on the vaccine advisory. I will include publicly available lobbying activity from these organizations in subsequent posts. But pick any one of them and search for their name + lobbying, and you can research this yourself.

BTW, @CNN has the temerity to call these folks independent vaccine advisers. Let’s see about that… Image

We just scored a big victory against the woke takeover of American financial organizations. After Chairman Jordan and I called them out for potential violations of antitrust law, major corporations dropped their involvement with an Environment, Social, and Governance ESG group.

Chairman Jordan and I (as Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust) wrote
@BlackRock, @Vanguard_Group, @StateStreet, and the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero about their ESG coordination.

This is one of the letters:

.@Jim_Jordan, @RepDanBishop, and I warned these companies that their ongoing efforts "coordinating their members' agreements to ‘decarbonize’ their assets under management and reduce emissions to net zero" were potentially illegal under the Sherman Act.

26 to 0!

The Judiciary committee passed my bill (HR 6824) requiring FBI to provide demographic data of persons ruled ineligible to purchase a firearm by the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.

False denials disproportionately affect racial and ethnic minorities.
The complete debate over my bill, the amendment discussion, and the roll call vote on passage are shown here unedited.

Thank you Chairman Jim Jordan for advancing this legislation and thank you Ranking Member Nadler and Representative Jackson Lee for supporting this bill.
As of 2024, the FBI reported over 2,000,000 denials of firearm purchases under the NICS background check system, but the vast majority of these denials were false positives. Research indicates NICS produces false denials for black males by a factor of 3-1 compared to white males.

J6 pipe bomb 🧵

On 6/7/23 the House Judiciary Committee interviewed Steven D’Antuono, former FBI Assistant Director in Charge of the DC field office.

Most of the interview covered topics such as the warrant served at Mar a Lago, but I asked questions about the J6 pipe bombs.
If you are just becoming familiar with the rapidly collapsing narrative of the J6 pipe bombs, I suggest reading @DarrenJBeattie’s comprehensive and insightful coverage of this topic.

The purpose of this thread is to post the original transcript of my interview with the FBI ADIC.
In addition to reading this transcript, you might want to watch my questioning of the ATF director and the FBI director. I also suggest watching the video of the discovery of the DNC pipe bomb.

I’ll post those three videos at the end of this thread.

Pastures can convert sunlight, animal waste, and CO2 into grass which is fuel for self propelled protein generating machinery we call cattle.

The protein this system generates is imminently digestible by humans with no post-processing other than cutting and optional cooking. 1/5
Grass and cattle can regenerate and reinforce each other indefinitely in harmony with nature and with almost no human input, as evidenced by existence of this cycle with tens of millions of bison on the plains of North America before our intervention. 2/5
Be wary of those who tell you this natural arrangement is inferior to a system using seed planters, sprayers, harvesting combines, diesel, pesticides, inorganic fertilizers, GMO crops, subsidies, sterile fields, and centralized multinational FACTORIES to produce FAKE meat. 3/5

THREAD:

Friday we voted on a bill to:

*fund appropriations at 92% for 30 days.

*pass HR-2, the Republican border security bill (sans e-verify)

*establish a debt commission.

I voted for it, but that bill failed because 21 republicans and every democrat voted against it.
The senate began moving a bill to fund the government at 100% for 45 days and send billions to Ukraine.

Some representatives in the House were ready to vote for that bill. In fact, GOP leadership (McConnell) in the Senate endorsed that bill. It was advancing as the likely option
With no other viable options, the Speaker quickly advanced a bill to fund at 100% for 45 days, without Ukraine $, so we could work on the other 8 approps bills.

Brave GOP senators overrode the decision of their leadership and the Senate GOP decided to delay the Senate bill.
