The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021 serves as an all-out attack on law enforcement and would have tremendous negative consequences on local communities and public safety. The bill contains numerous provisions that would expose officers to such great criminal and legal liabilities that they would be unable to properly carry out their duties as public servants. Additionally, the bill would essentially federalize local police departments, while doing nothing to address collective bargaining agreements which protect bad cops by making it nearly impossible to fire them.

H.R.1280

George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021

The PRO Act is one of the most anti-worker and anti-business bills that we have ever seen brought to the House floor, and is an updated version of the PRO Act passed along a near-party line vote during the last Congress in February 2020. The PRO Act is a giveaway to labor unions that would harm our economy and would especially target workers who choose not to join unions. Notably, it would do so by undermining all 27 states — more than half of the country — that have right-to-work laws. Federally coercing all private-sector workers to pay fees to labor unions violates individuals’ First Amendment rights and threatens the increased employment rates commonly seen in right-to-work states. The only thing that this bill is “PRO” is pro-union.
It also attempts to apply to the whole country a horrific standard set by California, of all states, regarding worker classification. The PRO Act would codify California’s disastrous “ABC” test that determines whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor. This law throttles the gig economy by making it more difficult for companies to contract with individuals. It should be noted that many independent contractors prefer their status to being a full-time employee.

Furthermore, the PRO Act undermines privacy for workers by mandating that employers share their employees’ personal information with unions, with few to no restrictions on what unions can then do with the employees’ information. Such a prospect is terrifying. Needless to say, the PRO Act would do nothing but undermine the rights of workers it claims to help. This is par for the course for the progressive left that has long bowed to the whims of labor unions.

H.R.842

Protecting the Right to Organize Act of 2021

This resolution impeaches President Donald John Trump for high crimes and misdemeanors.

Specifically, the resolution sets forth an article of impeachment stating that President Trump incited an insurrection against the government of the United States.

The article states that

prior to the joint session of Congress held on January 6, 2021, to count the votes of the electoral college, President Trump repeatedly issued false statements asserting that the presidential election results were fraudulent and should not be accepted by the American people or certified by state or federal officials;
shortly before the joint session commenced, President Trump reiterated false claims to a crowd near the White House and willfully made statements to the crowd that encouraged and foreseeably resulted in lawless action at the Capitol;
members of the crowd, incited by President Trump, unlawfully breached and vandalized the Capitol and engaged in other violent, destructive, and seditious acts, including the killing of a law enforcement officer;
President Trump's conduct on January 6, 2021, followed his prior efforts to subvert and obstruct the certification of the presidential election, which included a threatening phone call to the Secretary of State of Georgia on January 2, 2021;
President Trump gravely endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of government, threatened the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power, and imperiled a coequal branch of government; and
by such conduct, President Trump warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold U.S. office.

H.RES.24

Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This legislation would modify the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to add sexual orientation and gender identity as protected classes in federal anti-discrimination law. Although titled the “Equality Act,” the policies within this bill would create more inequality and profoundly impact all Americans.

H.R.5

Equality Act

The National Origin-Based Antidiscrimination for Nonimmigrants (NO BAN) Act weakens national security by largely stripping the President of the authority to restrict travel from countries due to the addition of “religion” as a protected characteristic under the Immigration and Nationality Act. The bill is in response to President Trump’s efforts to combat terrorist activities by instituting travel bans on the countries of Chad, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen, which the Left has characterized as a “Muslim ban.” 

H.R.1333

NO BAN Act

The American Dream and Promise Act of 2021 rewards immigrants who entered the country illegally as minors with amnesty and full access to taxpayer-funded benefits. Under the bill, immigrants who entered the country prior to 2021 when they were supposedly under the age of 18, are provided a pathway to citizenship, including voting rights and eligibility for welfare and subsidized college. The bill even grants amnesty to immigrants with criminal histories (up to two misdemeanor offenses.) 

H.R.6

American Dream and Promise Act of 2021

This bill would ultimately provide amnesty by creating a new “certified agricultural worker” status for which only illegal immigrant agricultural workers would be eligible. To qualify for this new status, individuals must be here illegally, as the bill states eligible aliens must be “inadmissible or deportable from the United States on the date of the introduction of this Act.” Furthermore, once this status has been granted to an individual, their children and spouses can then be granted “certified agricultural dependent” status leading to an exponentially larger population of illegal immigrants being granted amnesty.

H.R.1603

Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2021

The latest attempt by Washington politicians to federalize elections, H.R. 4, would make unelected bureaucrats including Merrick Garland in President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) the arbiters of election law. This bill would require every state to get the Biden DOJ’s permission to implement overwhelmingly popular election integrity reforms like voter ID by resurrecting antiquated pre-clearance requirements. For states like Florida, Georgia, and Arizona that are leading the way on election integrity, H.R. 4 punishes them by requiring any changes in election law to be approved by Biden’s DOJ.
Biden’s DOJ is demonstrably hostile to state election integrity reforms. In June, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that Biden’s DOJ would be launching a lawsuit against Georgia for the state’s election integrity legislation. To give Biden’s partisan DOJ authority over state election laws is a dangerous and unacceptable proposition.
H.R. 4’s nationwide pre-clearance requirements are an unprecedented power grab that undermines the authority of states to run their elections. Election integrity remains a priority for Americans, and it is not the role of the Washington swamp to prevent duly elected state legislatures from serving their constituents.
Attempts to federalize our elections and stymie widely popular election integrity reforms run counter to the constitutional structure of our government; our elected officials must oppose H.R. 4 and protect our institutions.

H.R.4

John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021

This bill could also be named the “Abortion for All Act”. This proposal would entrench unfettered access to abortion in federal law. Despite claims from the Left that this proposal simply codifies Roe v. Wade—which would already be far too permissive— if enacted, the WHPA would endanger essentially all state-level abortion restrictions, existing state and federal conscience protection laws, and policies limiting taxpayer funding for abortions.


H.R.3755

Women's Health Protection Act of 2021

The PFAS Action Act of 2021 places overreaching regulations on chemical compounds that are used in thousands of consumer products including cookware, food packaging and firefighting. Specifically, the bill designates two PFAS compounds (PFOA and PFOS) as “hazardous substances” and directs the EPA to potentially designate over 7,800 other PFAS compounds as hazardous. 

H.R.2467

PFAS Action Act of 2021

This bill prohibits employment practices that discriminate against making reasonable accommodations for qualified employees affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. A qualified employee is an employee or applicant who, with or without reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential functions of the position, with specified exceptions.

H.R.1065

 Pregnant Workers Fairness Act

The Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act directs bureaucrats within OSHA to impose new mandates on employers within the health care and social services industries concerning workplace violence prevention. Under the bill, employers will be forced to provide annual training and education to employees, maintain detailed records of workplace violence risk and incidents, and submit annual reports to the government.

H.R.1195

Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act

The so-called Equal Access to Contraception for Veterans Act forces taxpayers to provide free contraceptives to veterans, including “Plan B” or “morning after” pills which induce abortions.

H.R.239

Equal Access to Contraception for Veterans Act

This legislation would require universal background checks for all firearm sales, including private sales, with specific exceptions. This is a misguided effort, as universal background checks would do little to prevent violence and would only make it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to purchase, own, carry, and use a firearm.

H.R.8

Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021

This joint resolution increases the public debt limit by $2.5 trillion.

S.J.RES.33

A joint resolution relating to increasing the debt limit. 

This resolution, the so-called American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, unnecessarily plunges the nation trillions of dollars into additional debt under the guise of relief for COVID-19. This massive bill includes $1,400 checks for all individuals earning under $75,000 and further extends the $300 weekly federal unemployment benefits throughout the summer. 

H.R.1319

American Rescue Plan Act of 2021

The so-called LGBTQ Business Equal Credit Enforcement and Investment Act saddles banking and lending firms with even greater regulatory costs and serves as yet another tool for plaintiff attorneys to advance frivolous litigation. Specifically, the bill forces financial institutions to collect and report application data regarding LGBTQ owned businesses under the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s fair lending laws. 

H.R.1443

LGBTQ Business Equal Credit Enforcement and Investment Act

The so-called Paycheck Fairness Act serves as a new mechanism to enrich greedy plaintiff attorneys through frivolous litigation. Under the bill, employers are prohibited from asking about an applicant’s salary history and must abide by multiple new mandates when determining wages for prospective employees. Additionally, the resolution forces employers to turn over detailed private wage data to the government. 

H.R.7

Paycheck Fairness Act

This massive $617 billion package combines seven of the federal government’s twelve annual spending bills. Contained in this monstrous package are radical left-wing social and environmental justice priorities and a dramatic increase in the size and scope of the federal government. Lawmakers have a responsibility to their constituents to reject this irresponsible collection of spending and defend fiscal conservatism.
At the forefront of this spending package is progressive climate change priorities. If passed, the Interior, Environment, and related agencies section would balloon to $43.4 billion, a more than 20% increase; included in this increased cost is $248 million in “environmental justice” programs. The bill’s $29.1 billion Financial Services section would also send a whopping $300 million to the Electric Vehicle Fund.
Despite years of subsidies and tax credits, electric vehicles remain an expensive luxury purchased only by the financially well-off. While everyday Americans are struggling with a dramatic rise in gas and grocery prices, politicians instead focus on propping up luxury vehicles.
This spending package puts left-wing priorities ahead of the needs of everyday Americans who are looking to shrink the role of government in their lives. Lawmakers in Washington must look to solutions that create more freedom and opportunity by getting the government out of the way rather than continue the tired tax and spend policies.

H.R.4502

Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, Agriculture, Rural Development, Energy and Water Development, Financial Services and General Government, Interior, Environment, Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Act, 2022

The OCC’s 2020 True Lender Rule sought to provide regulatory certainty to banks and third-party processors on who is the “true lender” when issuing short-term loans and to support the availability of responsible credit for people who need it most. The Federal Reserve estimates that 76 million Americans only make enough to cover monthly expenses and cannot save for contingencies.Short-term loans are a lifeline to millions of families across our country. By repealing the True Lender rule, Congress would be restricting access to quality credit and incentivizing families to turn to more expensive or harmful options such as bank overdrafts, late fees, or borrowing against their car or home.
It is challenging for individuals who don’t have great credit to get a loan from a national bank. Nearly 30% of hardworking Americans are unbanked or underbanked, and consumers with credit scores under 680 are rejected for loans from banks at four times the rate as those with scores above 680.
These loans have been a much-needed resource to underserved communities, and by repealing this rule, Congress would only be hurting the same communities they claim to protect. I urge you to support a free relationship between borrowers and lenders and to oppose the repeal of the True Lender Rule.

S.J.RES.15

A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Office of the Comptroller of Currency relating to "National Banks and Federal Savings Associations as Lenders".

Although the nascent Biden administration has had a message of “unity,” the use of budget reconciliation means that bipartisanship is being cast aside to advance a partisan agenda.Budget reconciliation is a special, fast-track legislative process tied to a budget resolution that instructs specific committees to produce legislation tied directly to revenues, direct outlays, and/or the statutory limit on the debt held by the public. The process begins with the passage of a budget resolution with reconciliation instructions to committees to make changes based on certain dollar amounts.
Legislation that is produced from this process is given privilege in the Senate. This means the normal 60-vote cloture threshold to limit debate does not apply. Budget reconciliation cannot be used to make changes to Social Security. Policy changes that do not directly impact revenues and outlays risk the legislation losing its privileged status in the Senate. This is known as the “Byrd Rule,” named after Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), laid out as federal statute in 2 U.S.C. 644.
The Biden administration and congressional Democrats plan to use budget reconciliation for a $1.9 trillion proposal that’s framed as another round of COVID-19 relief. However, this proposal comes only weeks after Congress attached a COVID-19 relief bill to the omnibus. President Biden’s proposal includes another, larger round of direct payments, an increase in unemployment benefits, a bailout of state and local governments, and an increase in the minimum wage to $15 per hour.
Although much of the spending that President Biden wants to ram through Congress on a partisan basis can be done within the confines of budget reconciliation, other elements have traditionally not been allowed in budget reconciliation. Increasing the minimum wage is an example of a provision that shouldn’t be used in budget reconciliation. However, far-left Democrats have expressed a willingness to shatter long-held precedent by using their narrow partisan majority in the Senate to overrule the “Byrd Rule.”

H.CON.RES.11

ESTABLISHING THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET FOR THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021

The CHIPS Act subsidizes the semiconductor industry to the tune of $76 billion. This bill creates new federal grant programs and does nothing to help American industry compete against China in the long term. As the Wall Street Journal put it earlier this week, “competing with China is the new excuse for corporate welfare.”The American semiconductor industry is going to need much more than a $52 billion subsidy to compete against China’s semiconductor industry.
Additionally, Congress is offering a 25% tax credit with an estimated cost of $24 billion over the next 5 years.
That’s a total of $76 billion of corporate welfare for one industry.
Importantly, the U.S. already leads in chip design (52%) and chip-making equipment (50%). Injecting billions of dollars of corporate welfare into the industry is short-sighted and undercuts free enterprise.
Corporate welfare does not make America more competitive; It only increases government dependence. Instead, lawmakers should be looking at reducing the regulatory and tax burdens that drove American businesses offshore in the first place.

H.R.4346

Supreme Court Security Funding Act of 2022

The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the massive $1.9 trillion legislation would increase the deficit by nearly $1.86 trillion over 10 years. This deficit requires the Office of Management and Budget to enforce PAYGO rules and make cuts on federal programs, including Medicare.Democrats will argue that this bill is needed to prevent cuts to Medicare; however, they will not tell you that the only reason we are in this position is because the Democrats did not consider the budgetary implications of passing their $1.9 trillion socialist giveaway. Instead, Nancy Pelosi preferred to engage in a hyper-partisan process that prioritized bailing out oppressive, blue states that have only kept businesses closed and children out of classrooms for more than a year.
To make matters worse, only 9% of the $1.9 trillion was actually targeted for combating COVID-19. Our nearly-$30 trillion national debt is a threat to our national security, and passage of H.R. 1868 will only take us deeper into the unsustainable path to fiscal calamity.
Members of Congress must reject any vote that perpetuates and validates the acts of our fiscally irresponsible congressional leadership. This bill is nothing more than a rubber stamp for the Democrats’ fiscally irresponsible ways.

H.R.1868

To prevent across-the-board direct spending cuts, and for other purposes.

Spending approximately $1.2 trillion over the next five years, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is yet another in a long list of bloated government spending bills. This bill throws billions of dollars at left-wing projects, is out of touch with the needs of everyday Americans, and gives the cover of “bipartisanship” to radical progressives that are currently pushing a massive $3.5 trillion budget resolution by a party-line vote.Advancing President Biden’s misguided climate agenda, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act spends a combined $15 billion on electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, electric buses, and other transit. This spending includes the construction of half a million new EV charging stations.
Despite years of subsidies and tax credits, electric vehicles remain an expensive luxury purchased only by the financially well-off. While everyday Americans struggle with a dramatic rise in gas and grocery prices, politicians instead elect to make it easier for the well-off to charge their Teslas.
This bill also spends a whopping $65 billion on rural broadband infrastructure. While bridging the digital divide is certainly a worthy goal, reckless government spending is not the solution

H.R.3684

 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act 

This bill bails out Democrats from their self-inflicted fiscal mess by waiving PAYGO rules to avoid cuts to Medicare that spending in the American Rescue Plan (ARP) will otherwise trigger. It also changes Senate rules to allow Democrats to pass a debt ceiling increase — a step towards the destruction of the filibuster.

S.610 Protecting Medicare and American Farmers from Sequester Cuts Act

This resolution would simultaneously provide continuing appropriations for federal functions after the expiration of the fiscal year on October 1st, and suspend the debt limit to allow the Treasury to finance these appropriations through continued borrowing.As the end of the fiscal year rapidly approaches, Congress is asleep at the wheel. Instead of doing their job and fulfilling their primary responsibility of passing a federal budget, Congressional Democrats are seeking to kick the can down the road yet again. In the midst of reconciliation, fiscal conservatives should be appalled by the audacity Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Schumer have shown with this legislation.
It has been a quarter of a century since Congress did its job and passed a complete budget through the statutory process before the end of the fiscal year. The past 25 years have seen five presidential administrations and numerous flips in Congressional control, yet the result is always the same. Seemingly incapable of meeting a deadline, Congress continually uses budgetary gimmicks like this Continuing Resolution to absolve themselves of their constitutional responsibility.
To make matters worse, Congressional Democrats seek to tie continuing federal appropriations to a suspension of the debt limit. With our total national debt rapidly approaching an incomprehensible $29 trillion, this provision alone should be a poison pill for any self-respecting Republican.

H.R.5305

Extending Government Funding and Delivering Emergency Assistance Act

This motion allows the U.S. debt ceiling to be raised by $480 billion to fund the government through the first week of December 2021. As a result, a major opportunity was lost to rein in out-of-control spending ahead of the November election season and deflate outrageous liberal initiatives such as the multi-trillion dollar “Build Back Better” social welfare package. 

S.1301

Promoting Physical Activity for Americans Act

This bill provides FY2021 supplemental appropriations for federal agencies to respond to the events at the U.S. Capitol Complex on January 6, 2021, and assist Afghan refugees. It also provides supplemental appropriations for the legislative branch to address COVID-19 and modifies requirements for certain programs that provide special immigrant status to eligible nationals of Afghanistan or Iraq.


H.R.3237

 Emergency Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021

This bill decriminalizes marijuana.
Specifically, it removes marijuana from the list of scheduled substances under the Controlled Substances Act and eliminates criminal penalties for an individual who manufactures, distributes, or possesses marijuana.

H.R.3617

Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act

This bill is nothing more than a vehicle for Leader Chuck Schumer to fast track legislation to federalize our elections and eventually dismantle the legislative filibuster.Now that it has been revealed that a bipartisan majority of senators oppose President Biden’s Big Government Socialism Bill, Democrats are pivoting to federalize our elections and are willing to transform the world’s greatest deliberative body into a rubber stamp for the White House to accomplish it.
Amid a barrage of conspiracy theories and falsehoods by fear-mongering, Democrats are once again pushing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and Freedom to Vote Act, a supposed compromise bill.
The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act would require every state to get the Biden Department of Justice’s permission to implement overwhelmingly popular election integrity reforms like voter ID by resurrecting antiquated pre-clearance requirements. Essentially this would make unelected partisan bureaucrats like Attorney General Merrick Garland the king of United States election laws.
The Freedom to Vote Act is no compromise at all. It is nearly identical to H.R. 1, better known as the “Corrupt Politicians Act.” If passed, this bill would facilitate a federal takeover of our elections, attack the First Amendment, and funnel taxpayer dollars to the reelection campaigns of career politicians.
Under no circumstances should Democrats be allowed to dismantle the institutions of our Republic and undermine the integrity of our elections. States like Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Arizona are leading the way to secure our elections; we should be embracing their reforms rather than working to dismantle them.

H.R.5746

Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act

Americans are grappling with the harsh reality of increased prices on everything from gas to groceries. We see firsthand the consequences of modern monetary theory and the devastation it brings. Unfortunately, the many Americans that struggle with diabetes are no stranger to increased prices. The cost of insulin has been steadily rising for decades.While progressives are all too eager to blame high prices on “corporate greed,” the reality is that this is an issue created by the federal government. Heavy-handed price controls are a deeply flawed solution that misses the mark when identifying the problem. 
Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) play a significant role in the dramatic rise in the cost of prescription drugs. PBMs are third-party administrators determining which drugs go on formularies (a list of approved prescription drugs that hospitals can prescribe and are covered under an insurance policy). Ostensibly, PBMs negotiate to obtain the best price. However, these “savings” are often pocketed by PBMs themselves and aren’t passed onto patients. Since they are reimbursed based on the markdown from the original list price, PBMs are incentivized to prioritize drugs with higher list prices, so they can receive a larger markdown. This legislation is a simplistic proposal to address a highly complex problem. We cannot afford half-hearted proposals based on unsound economics like this one for an issue that impacts so many. 

H.R.6833

Making continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2023, and for other purposes. 

The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (S. 2938) is a package of different gun control proposals stitched together with school safety and mental health provisions. As usual for Congress these days, the bill was negotiated and written by a small group of senators in secrecy, with the rest of the Congress expected to vote on the sweeping legislation just days after receiving the text. Expecting members to understand the impacts of an 80-page bill in just 72 hours is irresponsible, not to mention the fact that it prevents the American people from weighing in on the package and having their voices heard. That seems to be by design.

S.2938

Bipartisan Safer Communities Act

The House passed H.R. 1808, the Assault Weapons Ban. This bill prohibits the future sale of new so-called “assault weapons” and “high-capacity magazines” to civilians, with exceptions for law enforcement, including those who are retired and off-duty. The bill would also ban future civilian sales of magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds.

H.R.1808

Assault Weapons Ban of 2022

The House voted on a package of eight gun control bills, combined into H.R. 7910, the so-called “Protecting Our Kids Act.” This partisan package chips away at the Second Amendment and seeks to disarm law-abiding Americans by imposing new restrictions and legal burdens. These new burdens will do little to prevent future acts of violence, likely wouldn’t have had any impact on previous shootings, and would only restrict Americans’ constitutional right to bear arms.

H.R.7910

Protecting Our Kids Act

Don't be deceived by the name of this bill. The House passed a massive tax and spending spree that will worsen the inflation crisis. 

Democrats are using reconciliation, a special legislative process, to jam the package through on a purely partisan basis. The bill proposes nearly $570 billion in new taxes, while increasing spending by roughly $580 billion over the next decade—plus an additional $200 billion after accounting for budget gimmicks.

H.R.5376

 Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

This bill provides appropriations to federal agencies for the remainder of FY2023, provides supplemental appropriations for disaster relief and to support Ukraine, extends several expiring authorities, and modifies or establishes various programs that address a wide range of policy areas.

The bill includes the 12 regular appropriations bills that fund federal agencies for FY2023. These bills include

the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2023;
the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2023;
the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2023;
the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2023;
the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act, 2023;
the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2023;

This bill provides $40.1 billion in FY2022 emergency supplemental appropriations for activities to respond to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

H.R.7691

Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022

At its core, the Postal Service Reform Act is a $58 billion taxpayer bailout for the fiscally-insolvent United States Postal Service (USPS). The Postal Service Reform Act would repeal a requirement in 5 U.S. Code 8909a(d) that the USPS make annual payments to the Retiree Health Benefits Fund, from which benefits are paid to retired workers. The Postal Service Reform Act essentially sets up taxpayers to bail out this fund.

H.R.3076

 Postal Service Reform Act of 2022

The process for this omnibus is the epitome of everything that is wrong with Congress. This massive, 2,741-page spending measure was negotiated behind closed doors, released in the dead of night, and will be voted on without sufficient time to read. This is yet another example of how broken our appropriations process has become as it emboldens Democrat and Republican leadership to continue spending and leaves the American people in the dark.In total, the bill authorizes more than $1.5 trillion in annualized discretionary spending for fiscal year 2022. This amounts to a 6% increase in discretionary spending–not counting emergency supplemental spending–and will total an additional $880 billion over 10 years.
Working Americans are hurting as inflation reaches its highest levels in 40 years, coupled with record-high gas prices stemming from President Biden’s failed energy policy. Instead of fighting for less government and cutting agency spending, the bipartisan establishment in Congress doubled down on federal spending policies that will only perpetuate the inflation crisis.
This bill also includes billions of dollars in emergency funding that is not subject to budget caps. Lawmakers making the case that this spending is vital should be pushing to let it pass alone and on its own merits, not attached to supposed “must-pass” legislation.
Lawmakers are doing a disservice to the American people by pushing through this irresponsible spending package that no one has read. Between skyrocketing inflation and record-setting debt, the last thing we need is another reckless spending binge, yet that is exactly what the Washington Swamp is ready to do.

H.R.2471

Consolidated Appropriations Act

This bill requires each executive agency to reinstate the telework policies that were in place on December 31, 2019. Agencies may not implement expanded telework policies unless the Office of Personnel Management certifies that such policies, among other requirements, will have a positive effect on the agency's mission and operational costs.

H.R.139

SHOW UP Act of 2023

This bill generally prohibits school athletic programs from allowing individuals whose biological sex at birth was male to participate in programs that are for women or girls. Specifically, the bill provides that it is a violation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 for federally funded education programs or activities to operate, sponsor, or facilitate athletic programs or activities that allow individuals of the male sex to participate in programs or activities that are designated for women or girls. (Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded education programs or activities, including in public elementary and secondary schools and in colleges and universities.) Under the bill, sex is based on an individual's reproductive biology and genetics at birth. The bill does not prohibit male individuals from training or practicing with programs or activities for women or girls as long as such training or practice does not deprive any female of corresponding opportunities or benefits. The Government Accountability Office must report on the benefits for women or girls in single-sex sports that would be lost as a result of male participation. In particular, the report must document the negative psychological, developmental, participatory, and sociological effects of male participation on girls.
