The $1M was for a "substance abuse clinic" that happens to be housed in a RESTAURANT run by 3 people with the same residential address

So Ilhan Omar just blatantly tried defraud the federal government in broad daylight and expected to get away with it

UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE!

SEN. JONI ERNST: "I raised the issue, and fortunately, the House has now stripped that earmark out of that spending bill. But again, this is how easy money has been flowing to bad actors in Minnesota!"

She should be impeached, de-naturalized, and deported back to Somalia.

Every single bit of legislation that she or the rest of her squad authors should be reviewed with a fine-toothed comb from here on out.

For that matter, just strike out everything they author. Neuter them.

It's great that it was stripped, but there are dozens, hundreds or even thousands of this kind of shite in every damn bill those bastards pass, including the one in question.

Why the frick wouldn't she think she could get away with it?

She has gigantic balls because she knows this is all theater. She’s now a multimillionaire and no one is going to do anything about it.

So they are funneling taxpayer dollars through Tim Walz TO OUR ENEMIES

"They use the money, of course, to purchase weapons from the Houthis in Yemen, which is only about 250 miles away from them."

"And the Houthis get the weapons, and they get them from Iran. And that means the money, of course, was given to fraudulent groups in Minnesota."

"And it eventually, of course, ends up in Iran. And it's just more of the same."

"We want to defund the Taliban. We can't even get the Senate to do that. So it's an ongoing process. But you need to know that they're using American taxpayer dollars."

"American taxpayer dollars to fund terrorism. And that is exactly what's going on. And this is the tip of the dadgum iceberg."

"You're going to see this stuff all over the country. And it's funding our enemies all over the world. As I've said many times, folks, they'll hate us for free!"

FIFH

Other "earmarks", and there are a hell of a lot of them, can be just as easily stripped.

ETA: Hell, the Senate's HHS funding bill has nearly 100 pages of earmarks.

If they won't do this to Omar, they won't do it to anyone.

There is no way they will do anything to her.

They couldn't even censure her.

They only go after people named Trump.

What's a damn shame is how many other millions of fraudulent expenditures weren't noticed and slipped through?

The GOP can’t scream too loud cause their grifts will be found too

Let’s be honest, they all do it and they all suck. Every single one of them should go through personal audits yearly and every bill put forth should be audited once a year.

And term limits. Don’t forget ABOUT frickING TERM LIMITS.
