Congressional negotiators have rolled out their 4,000-page, $1.7 trillion dollar spending bill —and it includes a lot of cash earmarked for woke initiatives and questionable projects. The Heritage Foundation flagged a few in a Twitter thread.
“WOKE PRIORITIES IN THE OMNIBUS,” they warn. “Here are just a few earmarks (a.k.a. your taxpayer dollars set aside for special interests or projects) we found in the 1,455-page spending bill that are funding the left’s extreme agenda using YOUR money:”
💸 $1.2 million for “LGBTQIA+ Pride Centers”
💸 $1.2 million for “services for DACA recipients” (aka helping illegal aliens with taxpayer funds) at San Diego Community College.
💸 $477k for the Equity Institute in RI to indoctrinate teachers with “antiracism virtual labs.”

The Heritage Foundation says this kind of spending push during a lame-duck session is “unprecedented.”
In order for the bill to pass, at least 10 Senate R's would need to vote yes. This lame duck spending spree is unprecedented.
Instead of locking in the Pelosi-Schumer agenda, Congress should pass a short-term CR to fund the gov until the 118th Congress.https://t.co/TdSazPNveH
