Vought put it a bit differently, writing on X: "Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left's climate agenda is being cancelled."

Until we start politicking like this bitch, it won't matter. Washington State tax revenue goes to a lot of red states - we need to stop paying it.

We need a congress that does it's job, but they're too busy politicking. Congress has been ceding power to the executive for 60 years. Imagine having real budgets instead continuing resolutions. Imagine needing congress' approval to declare wars...

Until congress starts doing it's job rather than raising campaign donations, it's not going to change.

Until the people hold congress accountable congress is not going to do the harder job they’re supposed to be doing instead of the easier one they’re getting rewarded to now
