The omnibus bill, totaling $1.7 trillion and 4,155 pages, contains various provisions that have drawn criticism. It allocates funds for border security in countries like Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman, while prohibiting CBP funding for improving border security in the US. The bill also includes significant spending on international organizations, salmon-related programs, earmarks, and gender programs. Additionally, it authorizes funds for vaccine injury claims, pandemic preparedness, and research programs. The bill has passed with support from both parties, despite concerns about excessive spending and lack of transparency.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

My team and I are reading through the omnibus bill today - all $1.7 trillion and 4,155 pages of it. Follow along for some of the most egregious provisions in the bill ⬇️

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

It expressly prohibits CBP funding from being used to improve border security.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

...but at the same time, allocates $410 million towards border security for Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman. America Last in action.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

And, of course, $1,438,000,000 for membership in global multilateral organizations, including the UN.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

The word "salmon" appears 48 times in the bill.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

$65 million for salmon? Seems fishy.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

🐝 $3 million for bee-friendly highways, & another $5 million for the salmon. Talk about a buzzkill.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

And lest the other fish feel left out of the spending spree, here's $65.7 million for international fisheries commissions. Perhaps President Bush was onto something when he said "I know the human being and the fish can coexist peacefully."

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

On a more sinister note, here's at least $575 million for "family planning" in areas where population growth "threatens biodiversity." Malthusianism is a disturbing, anti-human ideology that should have ZERO place in any federal program.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

$65 million in two programs for Senator Leahy, and a federal building named for Nancy Pelosi. Swamp gonna Swamp.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

Here are just a handful of the many earmarks in the bill, including $3.6 million for the "Michelle Obama Trail."

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

A few more earmarks: $477k for "antiracist" training from the Equity Institute $3 million for the LGBTQ+ museum in NYC $1.2 million in "services for DACA recipients" $4.1 million in various career programs for one of the richest counties in the US (Fairfax)

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

If an additional $47 billion in Ukraine funding isn't enough for you, the bill also authorizes a "Ukrainian Independence Park" right here in DC.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

Also, monuments for journalists and service animals...

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

The bill also renames 25 post offices, in addition to the dozens we've already renamed this session. I'm amazed that we haven't run out of post offices to rename yet. It's bound to happen eventually.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

$524.4 million for a DEI and "structural racism" focused NIH subdivision - https://www.nimhd.nih.gov/resources/understanding-health-disparities/srd.html

NIMHD 404 Page Not Found nimhd.nih.gov

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

$300k per year for the Continuous Plankton Recorder. Chump change compared to the rest of this bill!

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

Of course, there's a section for NDAA corrections - another gargantuan bill that passed in a rush. Because God forbid that Congress actually proofread legislation before passing it!

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

Gender programs in Pakistan and a $200 million for a Gender Equity Fund.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

Last year's administrative expenses for the vax injury trust fund were $13.2 million - now it's $15.2 million. That's a 15% increase. Anticipating a 15% increase in vaccine injuries? It also authorizes "sums as may be necessary" for vaccine injury/death claims.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

$335,000,000 to prepare for an influenza pandemic! Including the use of surveillance tools.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

$7.5 million to better understand the "domestic radicalization phenomenon," plus $1 million for gun violence research. These research programs are often a smokescreen for violating civil liberties down the road.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

$535 million for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which indirectly funds NPR via grants.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

This provision nearly doubles the 66,000 available H2B visas (temporary low-skilled workers). The H2B program is highly prone to abuse and hurts American workers.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

$11.33 billion for the FBI. $1.75 billion for the ATF. & $2.63 billion for US Attorneys, with an emphasis on J6 prosecutions and domestic terrorism cases. All with significant increases from the previous year.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

Did you know that the House of Representatives has an Office of Diversity and Inclusion? It's set to receive nearly $26 million in taxpayer dollars.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

Also included in the bill: Regulations on cosmetics, changes to horseracing rules, and the Electoral Count Act. Everything but the kitchen sink.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

$286 million in Title X funding, which funds Planned Parenthood.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

$70 million for minority business development - an increase of $15 million from Fy22.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

The omnibus was released around 2am today. The Senate is voting now to begin debate on the bill. To have read the entire bill by now, you would've needed to read 4+ pages per minute, without a single break, for 16 hours straight. What a farce.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

More earmarks: $750k for the "TransLatin@ Coalition" $2.35 million in improvement/maintenance for the Iditarod Trail $1.5 million for the restoration of the Albany, NY city hall $400k for the "Racial Justice Improvement Project"

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

By the way, the hundreds of pages of earmarks aren't even included in the main omnibus bill. You have to view them on a separate website. We're working through those documents as well, including a breakdown of total earmark $$$ by party. https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/congressionally-directed-spending-requests

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

We're back for day two of the omnibus breakdown. The FBI is getting a new, $375 million HQ - final location TBD. Look for that to be a fight next Congress. Retiring Senator Shelby already has several buildings named after him - this adds an FBI training center to the list.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

In addition to a federal building, Nancy Pelosi also gets a fellowship program for foreign service.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

The bill creates a pandemic czar, adding to our already bloated bureaucracy and giving the gov't even more avenues to stifle civil liberties in the name of "public health."

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

The EPA gets $10.1 billion, an increase of $576 million above FY22. It includes $108 million for "Environmental Justice" activities.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

The bill also allocates $900 million for land acquisition and related programs. Doesn't the federal government own enough land already?

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

$166 million for neighborhood reinvestment activities. $4 million for "shared equity housing models." The latter appears to be an idea from the World Economic Forum. https://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Making_Affordable_Housing_A_Reality_In_Cities_report.pdf

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

The Pentagon will get $8.6 million for "gender advisor programs." Make of that what you will.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

More earmarks: $6 million for Clemson University $982k for motel vouchers in LA $817k for partnerships with "justice-involved individuals" in Glendale, CA $2 million for "improving coordination" in the NYC Mayor's office https://t.co/wWz9hDtmpb

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

Biden requested $37 billion for Ukraine. The bill allocates $47 billion - bringing total aid to >$100 billion. Zelenskyy will address Congress tonight, & will likely ask for EVEN MORE $$$. Meanwhile, Pelosi is comparing him to Churchill & says that democracy on the line. https://t.co/kh5qCkm9wN

Salmon is the new pork! 🐖 $5 million for salmon reintroduction $1 million to protect salmon from toxic chemicals $750k for Oregon salmon conservation https://t.co/OHNTgssnra

Diversity action plan requirements for FDA studies. https://t.co/ewjj99LkoZ

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

$1.74 billion for USAID operations - $2.1 billion total for the agency. This includes millions in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The omnibus summaries put out by Dems tout DEI programs in nearly every single corner of the bill. https://t.co/RkJH97F3cU

Various democracy programs, including in Nicaragua ($15 million) and Venezuela ($50 million). https://t.co/Pv9Mwhqwvb

Republican Senators Barrasso (WY), Burr (NC), & Cramer (ND) didn't vote on the bill. All Democrat Senators were present and voted for the bill.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

The omnibus contains over $15 billion in earmarks. That's nearly 700 extra pages - with over 7,000 total earmarks from BOTH parties. Here's our breakdown: https://t.co/1fNfjhojSL

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

In a House GOP conference meeting last month, 158 Republican reps voted FOR earmarks. Today, 14 Republican Senators voted AGAINST an amendment from Sen. Johnson that would have stripped earmarks from the omnibus. Washington's spending addiction is a bipartisan problem.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

This omnibus bill spends $6+ billion per day, $250+ million per hour, $4+ million per MINUTE …until Sept. 30th, when we start the process all over again.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

The House is now voting on final passage of the omnibus. I am a NO on this atrocious bill.

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

The omnibus passed the House with the help of 9 Republicans- Katko (NY) Jacobs (NY) Cheney (WY) Fitzpatrick (PA) Upton (MI) Davis (IL) Herrera-Beutler (WA) Kinzinger (IL) Womack (AR)

@RepDanBishop - Rep. Dan Bishop

All of the provisions listed in this thread, and more, will now be signed into law. This sham process is a bipartisan betrayal of Americans.

Speaker 0: Function until that is done. And that's a long way from getting done. Congressman Dan Bishop of North Carolina kind enough to join us. Congressman, it's a bad time to be facing this dilemma. How do you see it going? Speaker 1: Good morning, Neil. It's unfortunate that the timing coincides. I I I don't think it's a fair Statement to say that the United States is meaningfully disabled from playing the appropriate role here by virtue of the ongoing The question's about the speaker in the house. The president's fully capable of of providing immediate response To the situation, whatever would be needed, the the as you said, the expressions of support in congress, in the house, have been almost unanimous. 13 Democrats Only you have declined to join the, resolution of support offered, by the chairman of the, House Foreign Affairs Committee, Michael McCall, and the ranking member, Gregory Meats, they've both spoken in very clear terms. So we certainly need to resolve the present Impasse. And I believe, Neil, we're making we've made in the last day extremely important progress toward that. It remains Somewhat uncertain, but I think you'll see that Jim Jordan, who is now the nominee of the Republican conferences, is working to The remaining votes necessary to achieve essentially unanimity among the conference. And by I believe by Tuesday, we'll see that he is indeed the person who can accomplish Set objective. Speaker 0: Alright. Of course, he's tried it before and and bowed out when it didn't look like that was happening. Steve Scalise came in. He looked like the guy, When he saw that that wasn't happening. It's already prompted interest from, you know, other members kicking the idea around, your colleague Austin Scott from Georgia. Do you see others? In other words, even though you're putting your hopes on Jim Jordan, if it's not him, are others going to merge? Speaker 1: There's a lot of talent in the Republican conference. We are in a, I think, a transitional period in terms of, the the challenges that face the country and the, and the urgency of, achieving cohesion of the Republican conference around Not only unity, Neil, but unity for a purpose. And I know that's been distressing to some, but I believe progress is being made. I actually think As even though as I said, there are other talented members and if something should go awry, it's not quite true that Jim's withdrawn. Jim Faith and Steve were the candidates. Steve prevailed very narrowly, attempted to get the remainder of votes, found his pathway was blocked. Jim is now on the position of having been the candidate, now the nominee. So it's a little bit of a new situation. I think he the the point is that there is somebody who can fuse Together, the pieces of the Republican conference as we try to put together all these, disparate impulses within the conference And Jim's that person. I think it's pretty clear. I think the the evolution that we've seen over the last several days, the conversations that occurred in conference all yesterday, they're headed in the right direction and, and I hear other, you know, details about about that. I believe I'm I'm optimistic that we're going to get there and I'm certain that we'll resolve the problem one way or the other within the next few days. Speaker 0: Are you embarrassed by it, though, congressman? Speaker 1: You know, Neil, I'm not. And I remember, you know, back in the in the January conflict, you've been sort of a critic of the notion that these these conflicts occur. I think as troubling as it is, this actually reflects some dynamism in the congress. I actually think given the challenges that we confront, that ought to be going on. I'm not sure that we that, the status quo or drift met meets the nature of the challenges we face any longer. Obviously, it has to get resolved, And I believe it will. But I believe having, these sorts of, serious discussions about direction and Stepping up to the moment and delivering for the American people, very important. So, I I I wish it could be easy as and smooth at point, but I don't think it's something to be, regretted in its essence. We obviously recognize that it must get to a resolution, But there are important issues being resolved in this process. Speaker 0: Got it. All right, Congressman, thank you for taking the time on this Saturday. Always appreciate it. Be well. Speaker 1: Thank you, Neil. Speaker 0: All right, in the meantime back to Israel right now, an evacuation
