In yet another last-minute attempt to avoid a government shutdown, both the Senate and the House approved a massive $1.7 trillion spending bill, which has frustrated many, including commentators, policy experts, and the general public. …Some Republicans and conservative media outlets have also voiced their disapproval of the spending package, claiming that the government is using tax dollars for woke initiatives. Among the projects criticized were $3 million for the American LGBTQ+ Museum in New York City, $3.6 million for a Michelle Obama Trail in Georgia, $477,000 for the Equity Institute in Rhode Island, and $1.2 million for LGBTQIA+ Pride Centers. …The bill also included $410 million for border security in Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Omen, which has sparked criticism. “What utter insanity that tens of billions are being spent for border security of other countries, but none for ours!!” Musk wrote on Twitter.
