    Sure would be nice if every single citizen of the united states gets to personally bitch slap every member of congress, presidential cabinet, vp, pres, etc… When a completely unrelated thing gets shoved into a bill.

    There is 0 reason an (hypothetical) infrastructure bill for new sprinklers in hospitals needs to include a provision that Wisconsin dairy farms get a new milking machine. Those two things have nothing to do with each other. So why are they in the same bill.

    If you want it to be a bill, put it in its own separate proposal.

      It’s not completely unrelated, it’s regarding gender affirming care for those who have TRICARE, ie the military insurance.

      As though Democrats wouldn’t gleefully vote for that too.

        Yes, but now they can’t say they didn’t know it was in there.

        And they can’t say “I voted for it because the rest of the bill does good for _____”

        So it would help prevent them from keeping their mask on

          As far as I’m concerned, the military spending was tacked on to the anti-trans bill.
