That you might have missed. The hthousep of representatives passed a set of Funding Bills needed to avoid a partial government shut down. House speaker johnson said he is pleased with the legislation because it allowed him to make spending cuts. We also advanced as you seen the surgery cuts to some of the agencies that we believe are really overreaching. And have been turned in some ways against the American People. We are going soto cut 3 from doj, 7 from the atf, 6 from the fbi, and 10 from the epa. And thats a start. We have a lot more priorities and things we need to advance but the reality is we have to grow the house majority, take back the senate and win the white house and i am hear to tell you the reason we are optimistic is because we believe the things will happen in november. What happened to my former party. You got a speaker who bragging about defunding the police. He is bragging about defunding the top Law Enforcement agencies in america.
