Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Barry Moore opposed a 1,012-page, $1.2 trillion swamp spending package. The text of this legislation was released at 2:00 AM on Thursday, giving members little more than 24 hours to review it before voting today. House Democrats praised this legislation, which does not include H.R.2 provisions to secure our southern border.

"Many Americans are talking about March madness on the basketball court, but the real madness is happening in Congress,” said Moore. "Members had 24 hours to review a thousand-page bill that spends $1 trillion of Americans' hard-earned taxpayer dollars, and it's no wonder Democrats' are celebrating the bill's passage. This legislation includes no true border security provisions and continues to fund the same woke, weaponized, and wasteful spending that puts America last."

The Biden-Schumer swamp spending package:

  • Fails to secure our southern border by excluding H.R.2 provisions

  • Includes $200 million for a brand new FBI headquarters

  • Funds the World Health Organization, who lied to the world about COVID-19

  • Provides an additional $300 million to Ukraine

  • Provides $19.6 billion for the Department of Homeland Security to process more illegal aliens

  • Continues to fund diversity, equity and inclusion programs at the Department of Defense

  • Provides $200 million to the Gender Equity and Equality Action Fund, which lists one of their priorities as "green jobs and resistance to climate change"

  • Provides $400,000 for a "gender affirming clothing program" in Wisconsin

  • Provides $1.8 million to a hospital in Rhode Island that performs abortions
