My oath of office is to the U.S. Constitution, not to any foreign nation. Congress is trying yet again to ram through a spending bill – one that I doubt anyone has actually read – and there’s no oversight included into how the money is being spent.

All I requested is an amendment to be included in the final bill that allows for the Inspector General to oversee how funds are spent. Anyone who is opposed to this is irresponsible.

While I sympathize with the people of Ukraine, and commend their fight against Putin, we cannot continue to spend money we don’t have. Passing this bill brings the total we’ve sent to Ukraine to nearly $54 billion over the course of two months.

It’s threatening our own national security, and it’s frankly a slap in the face to millions of taxpayers who are struggling to buy gas, groceries, and find baby formula.

I’m glad Senator Paul put the interests of We the People first and put his foot down on this misappropriation. I hope there are enough patriots in the Senate to stop an end-run, too.

Rand, why are you ‘sympathizing’ with some foreigners problem? How about minding your own business and raise hell every day about the wetback invasion or how wetbacks are getting free issue baby formula and real Americans can’t even buy it?

God bless Rand Paul!

[Rusty0604]

Seriously?

[Pajamajan]

Thank you Rand Paul. God Bless you!

[robowombat]

Yes seriously. Who comes first last and always? Real Americans or participants in a foreign quarrel in a third rate county most Americans would have a problem locating on a map

I wonder how many border walls could have been built with all the billions wasted on a laundromat 🤪

“All I requested is an amendment to be included in the final bill that allows for the Inspector General to oversee how funds are spent.”

But then people might know that 90% of that money gets run through shell companies and back to democrats, and yes- even certain republicans.

I bet ya he'd vote for this bill in a nanosecond if it was $54 billion in pork barrel spending for projects EXCLUSIVELY earmarked for Kentucky.

[RandFan]

He does not vote for pork for his state

[dkGba]

He’s about only one throughout past 2 years of disaster with the balls to speak out on every issue. Unfortunately one person can’t stop this runaway train alone

Laundering more of our money. Pelosi wants her kids to be billionaires too.
