Nancy Mace (R-SC) moved to subpoena Omar ‘s immigration records today. Will anything come of it?
Some good news out of that committee

No pay for politician.

“minibus”
More like a short bus.
This is hilarious. More awful optics for Dems, Omar and Minnesota.

I’ve heard of an “omnibus funding bill.”
What in the world is a “minibus funding bill” ?
Simple term limits will eliminate 90%+ fraud in govt. Framers of constitution made the only big blunder by not establishing term limits to politicians and judiciary.
They have enough stolen money already.
She’s the one who married her brother.
WAS THIS EARMARK INCLUDED OR NOT INCLUDED???
