We are more than $38 trillion in debt. The American people elected Republicans to cut spending and eliminate left-wing waste in the budget. H.R. 6938 does none of this, which is why I voted NO today.

Not only does this “minibus” fail to reduce spending, but it is also packed with Democrat earmarks and socialist pet projects that federal tax dollars have no business financing. Here are just a few examples... 🧵❌ $450,000 to an opera house that regularly features LGBT, drag, and cabaret shows This venue is currently hosting auditions for “Cabaret (1998)” where actors are being asked to wear Nazi armbands, give the “heil” salute, and participate in “sexual situations with all genders." @ChrisCoons❌ $500,000 to another Delaware opera house that has an upcoming performance, “Kinky Boots”, which focuses on a story-line featuring drag and cabaret. @ChrisCoons❌ $1,031,000 wasted on bankrolling Defund the Police policies in Austin, Texas, such as sending social workers instead of experienced law enforcement officials to deal with dangerous situations. @RepLloydDoggett❌ $1,031,000 to Zohran Mamdani’s NYC, shifting resources away from law enforcement and towards “alternative policing” models. @RepGraceMeng❌ $1,039,000 devoted to left-wing groups in Seattle that could have been redirected to their police department @RepAdamSmithThe American people deserve better than this. I refuse to go along with the “business as usual” excuse for inaction. It’s time to cut federal spending and end the institutional rot of waste in the federal government. This minibus failed that test.• • •
