There is no way I’m voting for this Christmas Parade of Horribles that is the latest Continuing Resolution. It's one of the worst bills I've ever seen, packed with handouts for the swamp.
Here are just a few of the egregious giveaways buried in this monstrosity👇🧵

The bill fully funds rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
A man-made accident caused the collapse and taxpayers are now on the hook for billions of dollars?
The company at fault–and their insurance–should be paying for this. Not the American taxpayer.

This CR hands over federal land–FREE of charge–to DC to build an NFL stadium.
We’re handing over land to one of the most poorly run cities in America, just so they can subsidize a multi-billion dollar entertainment business. The NFL doesn’t need public handouts, especially from a city that can’t even manage basic services.
This is nothing more than a Christmas gift to the swamp, funded by the taxpayer.

Festivals and stadium concerts have apparently found their way into Congress’ holiday spending spree with the American Music Tourism Act being tucked into this CR.
Yes, you read that right–your tax dollars are now funding ‘music tourism.’
Who decided this was a priority?

The CR also piles on more federal regulations in telecommunications, healthcare, and financial services.
More red tape. Higher compliance costs. An expanded administrative state that makes life harder for everyday Americans.

The CR expands the Pandemic and All-Hazards
Preparedness Act to include:
• Funding for gain-of-function research
• More unchecked “Emergency” powers
• Vaccine and mask mandates
• Vaccine passports
Have we learned NOTHING from the horrific abuses the government imposed during COVID? These same overreaching policies are being set up to control us again.

Of all the issues facing America, the CR prioritizes... Haiti?
Haiti is a nation plagued by political instability and rampant corruption. It’s hardly a viable democracy and can’t be trusted with American taxpayer dollars
Where’s the focus on our border, economy, citizens, and security?

Broken Promises
Speaker Mike Johnson promised no more CRs. Now here we are. Democrats win, Americans lose. All in a Republican-controlled House!
It’s no wonder why Americans don’t trust Congress…
We were given a mandate for fiscal responsibility. This CR spits in the face of that mandate.
Enough is enough.
