The Republican Study Committeeā€™s annual budget also calls to permanently defund UNRWA and eliminate the National Labor Relations Board.

On Wednesday, theĀ Republican Study Committee, of which some three-quarters of House Republicans are members, released its 2025 budget entitled ā€œFiscal Sanity to Save America.ā€ Tucked away in the 180-page austerity manifesto is a block of text concerned with a crucial priority for the party: ensuring children arenā€™t being fed at school.

Eight states offer all students, regardless of household income, free school meals ā€” and more states are trending in the direction. But while people across the country move to feed school children, congressional Republicans are looking to stop the cause.

The budget ā€”Ā co-signed by more than 170 House Republicans ā€”Ā calls to eliminate ā€œthe Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) from the School Lunch Program.ā€ The CEP, the Republicans note, ā€œallows certain schools to provide free school lunches regardless of the individual eligibility of each student.ā€

ā€œAdditionally,ā€ the Republicans continue, ā€œthe RSC Budget would limit spending in the program to truly needy households.ā€

    I did see that. It was crazy.

    I think Putin has the goods (kompromat) on Tucker, Elon, Dershowitz, Trump, and most of the Congressional Republicans. Probably all were avid frequenters of Epstein island.

      I think itā€™s less blackmail and more just knowing what buttons to push. Tucker needs attention, heā€™s that kid saying ā€œlook at what I can doā€ but grown up and completely lacking ethics. If you offer him a platform and reach heā€™ll agree to anything.

        Remember Matt Gaetz attempting to blackmail him in an extremely awkward interview, which Tucker subsequently changed the subject on and ended the interview?

        I bet heā€™s a freak and Putin has the goods.
