Here are just a few more examples of its reckless and misguided spending provisions:\n\n$4.8 billion to the Office of Refugee Resettlement that has lost migrant children after releasing them to sponsors.\n\n$45 billion for the NIH that funded dangerous research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the infamous center that has refused to accept any responsibilities for or opened any inquiries into its potential role in the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\n$122 million for the World Health Organization (WHO) \u2014 on top of the $280 million it received under Democrats\u2019 \u201cCOVID relief\u201d bill \u2014 the same organization that pushed an unfounded COVID narrative and partnered with Chinese Communists to cover up the role they played in the origins of COVID.\n\n$10.8 billion for a Federal Bureau of Investigation that President Biden has weaponized against parents concerned about schools, his own political opponent, and just recently, even a pro-life father of seven.\n\n$1.5 billion for ATF that is undermining our Second Amendment rights by pushing gun control via executive order and arbitrary enforcement of small firearm businesses.\n\n$728 billion to a Department of Defense that is more focused on climate change, \u201cdiversity training\u201d programs, and constructing training centers with \u201cmixed-sex restrooms, locker rooms, and showers\u201d than it is on countering our enemies. Not to mention the fact that DoD is forcing servicemembers out of their jobs with no-exception COVID-19 vaccine mandates in midst of a recruiting crisis.\n\nJust one month after Washington Democrats passed the \u201cheat your home tax\u201d in their so-called \u2018Inflation Reduction Act,\u2019 they now want to subsidize their numerous energy policy failures by giving away billions in funding to the very people they raised taxes on. Congress cannot continue at the behest of Biden to \u2018kick the can down the road\u2019 with even more inflationary spiking federal spending without accountability. Urgent issues such as rising prices, supply chain issues, and the disease of addiction and human trafficking crimes being exacerbated by Biden\u2019s open border policies must immediately be addressed in legislation. For these reasons, I voted against the CR.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:08:33Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://harshbarger.house.gov/media/press-releases/harshbarger-votes-no-reckless-government-spending"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5323769766837358, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
