The massive bloat in government spending allows politicians to hide their pet projects. For example, Stacey Abrams' climate group, with a revenue of only $100, is slated to receive $2 billion. There's outrage over Elon Musk's team accessing IRS data, yet the Biden administration allowed 53 unpaid researchers and students full access to the American people's data at the IRS. They're okay with waste, fraud, and abuse as long as their special interest groups are funded and their ideology is promoted, regardless of the will of the American people. Our country can't survive this. We are thankful that Donald Trump and his team are saying enough is enough and will begin the process of restoring a constitutional republic.

Congress is rushing to pass a $1.7 trillion spending package without balancing the budget. Examples of wasteful spending include $2.3 million on injecting beagles with cocaine, $700,000 studying how male parrots attract mates, $187,000 on studying if dogs help kids cope, and $118,000 on studying if a robot of Marvel's Thanos can snap its fingers.

At 2:23 AM, Congress released a massive 1,012-page bill costing $1 trillion, aiming to rush its passage before scrutiny. Notable expenditures include $850,000 for a gay senior citizen home in Boston and $15 million for college tuition for Egyptians in Egypt. Additionally, $400,000 is allocated to a group that provides clothing for teens to conceal their gender without parental consent. Even posthumously, Dianne Feinstein has an earmark for a $500,000 anti-racist program at the San Diego Zoo, raising questions about the necessity of such funding. Despite these controversies, the bill is expected to reach Biden's desk soon for approval.

Government waste is everywhere, in every department, program, and contract. To tackle America's 36 trillion dollar debt, we need to examine all areas. On the oversight subcommittee, we'll investigate government-funded media like NPR, which spreads propaganda. We'll also scrutinize grant programs that fund projects like sex apps in Malaysia and toilets in Africa, programs that don't benefit Americans. I also want to address the Pentagon about their missing billions and failed audits.

We're witnessing the implications of having Dogecoin integrated into our system, heavily influenced by Elon Musk. The current bill proposes cutting funding for crucial research areas, including pediatric cancer, early detection of cervical and breast cancer, and conditions like Down syndrome and sickle cell anemia. These cuts are aimed at providing tax breaks for billionaires, reflecting Musk's idea of efficiency.

I'm concerned about the scrutiny USAID is facing. It's an organization that promotes national security, human rights, and global health. But, some USAID projects are questionable uses of taxpayer money. For example, millions of dollars have gone to tourism in Egypt, a Democratic Party propaganda arm, transgender opera in Colombia, sex changes in Guatemala, bat research in Wuhan, and even a new Sesame Street show in Iraq. These expenditures raise serious questions about how taxpayer money is being spent. We need to take a closer look at these allocations.

Congress is facing a potential government shutdown due to the failure to pass a budget bill, largely influenced by Elon Musk's public outcry on social media. The proposed continuing resolution (CR) bill is unusually lengthy at 1,547 pages, with only 8 pages dedicated to the CR itself, and includes a $100 billion increase primarily for disaster relief. Many Congress members had less than 24 hours to review it, leading to concerns about transparency and specific provisions, such as a pay raise for Congress members. Musk's influence mobilized public pressure against the bill, highlighting the need for transparency in government processes. This situation demonstrates that when the public is informed and vocal, elected officials are compelled to listen, reinforcing democratic principles. While concerns about billionaire influence remain, Musk's actions have sparked a significant response from the public.

Republicans are pushing for a government shutdown that could harm the economy and negatively impact working-class Americans. Their focus seems to be on providing significant tax cuts for wealthy donors instead of funding essential programs like cancer research for children.

The America First agenda is going up in smoke as Congress prepares to vote for a continuing resolution, funding the government through September. This resolution continues funding USAID and Israel, with no money for border security. It's business as usual, with endless continuing resolutions that never improve things for Americans. While most Republicans fall in line, Congressman Thomas Massey is refusing to vote for this "scam," opposing sending money overseas to those who hate us. Trump is now trying to find a primary opponent to challenge Massey, criticizing him for being against the continuing resolution. However, Massey has been a budget hawk for years and notably takes no money from AIPAC. He's standing up against the Israel-first agenda that Trump and many others in Washington support.

Congress released a 1,012-page bill with a $1 trillion price tag full of questionable spending. Examples include $850,000 for a gay senior citizen home in Boston, $15 million for Egyptian college tuition, and $400,000 for a group teaching elementary school kids about being trans. Even a posthumous earmark for Dianne Feinstein. The bill also includes $500,000 for an anti-racist nature program at the San Diego Zoo. This bill, signed by Biden, will spend taxpayer money recklessly.

The Christmas Omnibus tradition is over, and there will be no more omnibus bills. Each year, Congress faces pressure to pass large spending bills right before Christmas, often under threat of staying in session over the holidays. This tactic creates urgency, with lawmakers voting on bills they haven't read just to get home for Christmas. The cycle repeats every year, with Congress caught off guard by fiscal deadlines, similar to a florist being surprised by Valentine's Day. The strategy involves using the holiday as leverage to push through spending measures, often with controversial provisions attached.

I recorded a video after leaving the house floor, but it didn't go well. I voted against the bill because we had agreed on separate bills, yet everything was combined. It included $5.7 billion for submarines, $100 million for the Coast Guard, and funding for the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which seems unnecessary since the barge that hit it was insured. The $100 million for disaster relief raises questions about its allocation. We don't trust this administration with funds, especially after recent aid to Ecuador and Ukraine without our input. It's just a continuation of poor spending policies. Interestingly, many Democrats who opposed it ended up voting for it, which feels misleading. Despite this, the government remains open. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy Hanukkah to my Jewish friends. Thank you for your support.

Here's the truth about what's happening in Congress: it's political theater, a repetitive cycle leading to a continuing resolution (CR) and then an omnibus bill, regardless of which party is in control. We never address the real issues, like reining in spending or cutting wasteful programs. Democrats want to expand the welfare state, and Republicans want to grow the military-industrial complex, and bureaucrats are being allowed to run wild. This CR is a six-month extension, strategically avoiding automatic cuts. The "SAVE Act" attached to it is just a shiny object, a false promise meant to appease Republicans before it disappears. We need to stop funding things we claim to oppose and address our spending addiction. I refuse to participate in this charade any longer.

- The speakers criticize a new funding bill as a bloated, bipartisan package totaling over $1.7 trillion, arguing it represents a “middle finger” to American taxpayers and funds more than merely keeping the lights on. They claim both parties supported it, eliminating any real fiscal fight. - They highlight a provision referred to as health care extenders on page 772, noting that temporary pandemic expansions in health and welfare programs are now baked in as permanent costs for taxpayers. This is presented as evidence that eligibility expansions for Medicare are being locked in. - They point to Israel-related spending buried within the bill, noting provisions allocating hundreds of millions of dollars for Israeli missile defense programs, including the Iron Dome, on page 101 of the 1,059-page bill. They argue that funding the U.S. government is linked to funding a foreign defense system, and that this represents corporate welfare for well-connected interests in Washington. - The discussion asserts that Ukraine-related funding is not explicitly in the bill as written, but that money may still be funneled through contractors or other channels. They question whether there will be a final victory lap on supposedly winding down Ukraine aid, suggesting money remains flowing covertly. - They discuss the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and USAID, noting that money for NED remained in the bill despite amendments to cut funding. They describe NED as a non-partisan tool that has supported regime-change activities, including actions in Iran and Venezuela, and criticize both parties for preserving this funding. - They critique the consolidation of aid into the State Department, specifically via USAID under Marco Rubio, arguing that oversight has weakened and that funding is redirected for various foreign policy aims (e.g., Venezuela, Cuba, Iran). They discuss the influence of Rubio on where funds go and describe the arrangement as increasing executive-led control with limited transparency. - They argue that the bill reflects a broader pattern of government spending: a so-called “uni-party” consensus that avoids reducing government size, with both parties acting in lockstep on foreign and domestic priorities. - The conversation touches on public opinion, citing a Gallup poll that suggests younger generations despise both major parties, and they link this to perceived bipartisan over-spending and interventionism. - Throughout, the viewers criticize what they see as a routine of declaring emergencies and then normalizing permanent programs, suggesting that emergency measures become permanent and that the political system uses crisis rhetoric to justify ongoing expenditure. - The discussion ends with remarks on political leadership, labeling Speaker Johnson as a weak figure and coining a proposed “fuck it party” as a first-principles anti-war alternative, with participants noting they would join or support it. Daniel McAdams provided expert commentary throughout.

As a senator, I'm concerned about USAID's lack of transparency with taxpayer dollars. Examples include funding for a Wuhan lab, Iraqi Sesame Street, and fashion weeks in Europe. My TRACS Act aims to disclose every grant recipient to prevent funds from going to adversaries. The fact that the US government funded the creation of the virus that caused the global pandemic is incredible. It is terrible for people to believe charitable support is tied to political manipulation, so we need a firewall between genuine aid and CIA/State Department activities. It is an all American commitment to not letting the state be abused for political reasons. The focus should be on transparency, accountability, and clarity in our interactions with the world. We need to identify the waste, fraud within our federal government, and get those reforms over the finish line.

Christmas is just a week away, and Congress is rushing to pass a $100 billion spending bill without proper review. This bill includes provisions that shield Congress from public scrutiny, fund censorship programs, and support vaccine mandates. It also allocates money for questionable projects, like inspecting molasses and subsidizing migrant farm workers. Congress is even giving itself a $6,000 raise amid rising living costs, which they contributed to. Meanwhile, Biden is spending millions on solar panels and monitoring methane emissions. The government is filled with bureaucrats who rarely work in the office, and many are set to continue working from home for five years. Trump warns that if Republicans pass this bill, it will burden his administration. The situation reflects a lack of accountability and respect for taxpayer money.

There is footage and records of unidentified objects in the sky that we can't explain. It is believed that the Pentagon has been hiding a program from Congress and the executive branch. This program, run by unelected officials, avoids oversight and goes against American democracy. There is a disinformation campaign targeting the US populace, which is unethical. A bill called the UAP Closure Act aims to force the Pentagon to reveal the truth to Congress and the American people. However, there are efforts to kill this bill by Speaker Mike Johnson, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Congressman Mike Turner, and Mike Rogers. It is important to call lawmakers and demand the passage of the UAP Disclosure Act.

House Republicans are prioritizing Elon Musk's interests over those of everyday Americans. Their opposition to transparency is baffling, especially for a party claiming to represent the people. The argument that access is needed to combat misinformation is misleading; the individuals involved are treasury employees, not external actors manipulating the system. The Republicans' actions demonstrate a lack of concern for the American people and their tax dollars. Full transparency on government spending is necessary to prove otherwise.

USAID is a fraud and a slush fund for left-wing projects globally, with very little being put to good use. This occurs while denying funds to those who clearly need them, with only cents on the dollar reaching those in need. USAID was initially created for humanitarian purposes, but it has been captured by the military-industrial complex, becoming a sinister propagator of totalitarianism and war. The US government, through USAID, has funded things like DEI initiatives in Serbia, gender surgeries worldwide, sex change surgeries in Guatemala, and social media influencers in Ukraine. USAID is using taxpayer dollars to fund opposition and subvert democracy in other countries. USAID and the CIA don't promote democracy; they are run by radical lunatics that we are working to remove. As an American taxpayer, I don't want my dollars going towards this.

Appropriations is where the money moves in Congress. Democrats are making lives smoother through government funding. Republicans' Project 2025 is suspect, aiming to eliminate the Department of Education. This would negatively impact the environment, education, and rights. Democrats are keeping people informed.

We're reviewing the budget, starting with Congress. The Members Representational Allowance totals $810 million for 535 members, averaging $1.5 million each. Despite earning $175,000—three times the average American salary of $59,000—Congress is proposing a $70,000 raise, pushing their average salary to $245,000. Meanwhile, they refuse to raise the federal minimum wage. Additionally, leadership receives $37 million, and house committees get $212 million. This raises questions about the spending: what justifies these costs? The government needs to cut unnecessary expenses instead of misleading the public about their concern for citizens. The focus should shift from self-serving raises to addressing the needs of the American people.

Congressional leadership meets with lobbyists and corporate power in secret to negotiate deals for the federal spending bill. They then present a 5,000-page omnibus bill to members of Congress, pressuring them to sign it or risk blocking funding for troops and veterans' benefits. This is seen as blackmail and extortion. Congressman Matt Gaetz proposed a simple solution: present individual funding proposals for debate and voting. However, they know that funding for war and military corporations would face opposition. Instead, they manipulate the situation by threatening to cut off benefits for vulnerable groups, like veterans and the elderly. Gaetz's efforts to keep the government open and ensure troops are paid are commendable. This highlights the influence of lobbyists and multinational corporations.

This morning two Republicans voted nay to stall the government funding bill, ending up with only one again: Thomas Massey. The post frames Massey as a traitor and a grandstander, echoing the “Groundhog Day” refrain that Massey is a rhino or not loyal to President Trump. The post quotes Massey explaining why he voted against the omnibus, highlighting a breakdown of “the most ridiculous items included, including some America first items that were not.” Key items Massey cites include: - $5,000,000,000 to provide cash benefits, health care, day care, and job programs to refugees on the taxpayer dime. - $315,000,000 to fund the CIA’s branch of the State Department that propagandizes and destabilizes the globe and has an interest in censoring and attacking conservative media outlets. - $3,300,000,000 to our greatest ally, President Trump, with an extra $500,000,000. - $1,500,000,000 to Egypt. - $2,100,000,000 to the Jordanians. - Nearly $700,000,000 to foreign HIV/AIDS programs. The post notes “America first items” that Massey refused to include in his amendment, labeling him a grandstander for opposing them: - An amendment to freeze funds for the daycare fraud. - An amendment to stop warrantless surveillance of Americans via loopholes in the FISA act. - An amendment to prevent the kill switch on your personal vehicle. - An amendment to end propagandizing US citizens by the State Department and The US Agency for Global Media. - The blocked amendment to stop the creation of CBNCs (likely CBNCs). - The inclusion of the Save Act. The author repeatedly calls Massey a traitor and a grandstander, insisting that if that label applies to Massey, it raises questions about everyone else. The closing reference invokes a 2016 tweet from Charlie, suggesting that if Massey’s actions define traitor status, broader implications exist for others as well.

Congress is out for 6 weeks, returning September 8th. A crisis is occurring with the Biden Harris regime trying to jail Trump. Aliens are likely able to vote without much pushback. Congress needs to address a government funding measure to ensure the government doesn't get any money until the republic is protected. Call your members of Congress now at 202-225-3121.

Just left the house floor where we passed the National Defense Authorization Act. I voted against it due to $500 million in foreign aid, which many opposed. There are provisions for travel related to abortions and poorly written transgender language that could worsen issues. The Pentagon still hasn't passed an audit after multiple attempts, and we need to do better. This isn't what you voted for, and there are lobbyists involved that affect these decisions. We’ll keep fighting, but it's crucial for you to hold us accountable. Thank you for your support.
