So apparently, they CAN insert policy issues outside of government funding as long as it means Republicans get a giant payout from the American taxpayer?
Not a cent for health care, but Republicans wrote in a corrupt cash bonus of at least $500k each for 8 GOP Senators. 📜💰🤷♀️

The bill to reopen the federal government, currently awaiting a vote in the house, contains a provision that would allow Senator Ron Johnson and others to sue the government for at least half a million dollars.

Trump also just released the guy who lied to the FBI about the Bidens taking bribes.
He has ties to Russian intelligence — and Trump’s businesses.
Again: The law does not apply to them.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.
Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.
She was later released with NO CHARGE.
A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

ICE officers reportedly shot a 25-year-old named Carlos Jimenez.
He was shot after getting out of his car to tell the agents, who had pulled over a vehicle, that children would soon be gathering in that spot for the school bus.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.
