Not that I'm doubting you OP but it's just generalizations. Could you please list the offending earmarks and earmarked by whom?

 

[OldFlame]

Based on reports from early 2026, a debate emerged regarding "Labor–HHS" earmarks within the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations process, with claims that a number of House Republicans voted for packages containing funding for organizations associated with abortions, gender procedures, or DEI activism.

• 76 House Republicans were noted in January 2026 as having joined with Democrats to support specific funding, which Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) and Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) identified as containing earmarks for abortions, gender procedures on children, and DEI initiatives.
• Controversial Earmarks Highlighted: Examples cited included $3 million to Denver Health & Hospital Authority for transgender surgeries, $4 million+ to Christiana Care for late-term abortions, and $3 million+ to Hennepin Healthcare for a pediatric gender clinic.
• Internal GOP Conflict: Rep. Ralph Norman moved to eliminate these specific earmarks, which he stated were added to the Labor-HHS bill. Rep. Scott Moolenaar (R-MI) was questioned by constituents regarding his "Nay" vote on an amendment that would have stripped these items, to which he responded that he was supporting broader funding for Michigan families.
  
  The debate surrounds a 2026 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education funding bill, which House Republicans generally aimed to pass with restrictions, but which nonetheless included these specific earmarks, according to the complaints from within the Republican party.

• Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA): Included a $2 million earmark for Rady’s Children’s Hospital in San Diego, identified as having a center for pediatric "gender-affirming care".
• Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN): Requested over $3 million for Hennepin Healthcare, which operates a clinic that provides gender-affirming services.
• Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME): Requested nearly $1.6 million for Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center, which offers gender-affirming care services.
• Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH): Requested nearly $1 million for the Dartmouth Health Department for their OB/GYN department, identified as providing abortion services.
• Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE): Proposed an earmark of over $4 million for Christiana Care Health Services, which provides abortions.

Thanks.....The gender affirming care ones are the ones I take issue with.

No shits given about abortions....Wait, I take that back, fewer future dems is always a good thing!

If you say so.

And really, how would you know since you have no idea who I've voted for and who I have not? Who's the 'tool' again?

Same, couldn't find a list of the 76, but it appears 192 R's voted for the overall bill, we're never going to achieve perfection, that's just reality.

 

[Rawley]

This is why the veto exists. Trump does not have to and should not sign this if it makes it to his desk.



But will Trump veto this and kick it back? Of course not. According to Speaker Johnson, these are Trump era policies and we've seen over and over, MAGA loves big government.

What's the earmark for "gender procedures on children?"

 

[Rawley]

I hate the ******* duopoly.
Republicans/MAGA are so full of shit!!

how?
