Betrayed Again: House GOP Caves on Woke Earmarks Funding Kid Mutilation and Baby-Killing

The swamp never sleeps, and neither do the spineless wonders in the Republican Party who pretend to fight for us. Just yesterday, on January 22, 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives rammed through H.R. 7148, the so-called Consolidated Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2026. This bloated beast of a bill keeps the government lights on through September 30, but at what cost? It packs in $1.3 billion worth of earmarks in the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education division alone – pork that’s dripping with radical left-wing poison. We’re talking taxpayer dollars funneled to outfits that push child gender transitions and late-term abortions like it’s no big deal. And get this: 76 supposed Republicans voted to keep this garbage in the bill, shooting down an amendment that would have stripped it all out. America First? More like RINOs first.

🚨 RINO BETRAYAL: 76 House GOP reps joined ALL DEMOCRATS to BLOCK Amendment #2 on HR 7148, which will now ALLOW for the FUNDING of SENATE EARMARKS for:

– Abortions
– Gender Mutilation Surgeries on MINORS
– DEI programs
– Partisan Pork Projects

This isn’t some abstract policy wonkery. This is your hard-earned money being hijacked to fund the mutilation of confused kids and the slaughter of viable babies. Voters sent a Republican majority to Washington to slam the brakes on this madness, but instead, we’ve got a bunch of squishes who can’t even muster the guts to defund the indefensible. It’s a gut-punch to every conservative who believed the hype about draining the swamp.

The Bill’s Toxic Payload: What You’re Really Funding

H.R. 7148 is a minibus spending package that bundles appropriations for Defense, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, Labor-HHS-Education, and more. The total price tag? A staggering $1.8 trillion in discretionary spending, with the Labor-HHS slice alone clocking in at over $200 billion. But the devil’s in the details – those $1.3 billion in earmarks tucked into Labor-HHS are where the real outrage lives.

These aren’t your grandpa’s bridge projects. We’re talking direct handouts to facilities and programs that promote and perform irreversible gender procedures on minors and abortions well into the third trimester. Here’s a breakdown of some of the most egregious ones that survived thanks to the RINO sellout:

• $4 million to Christiana Care Health in Delaware for a new urgent care facility. Sounds innocent? This place performs abortions up to 23 weeks – that’s after the baby can feel pain and has a beating heart.
• $3 million to Dartmouth Health in New Hampshire for a perinatal unit expansion. Meanwhile, they do abortions through 24 weeks, using euphemisms like “removing a pregnancy” to mask the horror.
• $2 million to Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego for “pediatric mental health services.” This hospital runs a Center for Gender-Affirming Care that pushes hormone blockers and surgeries on kids too young to vote or drive.
• $1 million to the University of Washington for health facilities. Their gender clinic for minors offers “affirming” treatments that leave lifelong scars.
• $1 million to the University of Iowa for similar facilities. They too have a pediatric gender program dishing out puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to children.
• $850,000 to Oregon Health & Science University for a DEI center. This spot performs sex changes on minors while preaching diversity gospel.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. These earmarks don’t explicitly scream “fund child mutilation,” but they go straight to entities knee-deep in it, freeing up their other resources to keep the agenda rolling. The bill also keeps the Hyde Amendment intact to block direct abortion funding, but these backdoor handouts make a mockery of that. Total Labor-HHS earmarks: over 300 projects, many funneling cash to woke universities, clinics, and nonprofits that align with the radical left’s war on biology and innocence.

The bill passed the House 341-88, with broad bipartisan support because, hey, who doesn’t love free money for their district? But the real fight was over Rep. Ralph Norman’s amendment to nuke all those Labor-HHS earmarks. It failed 136-291, with every Democrat voting to keep the slush fund intact.

The RINO Hall of Shame: 76 Republicans Who Stabbed Us in the Back

You’d think a Republican-controlled House would leap at the chance to ax this nonsense. Wrong. When push came to shove on Norman’s amendment (Roll Call 44), 136 Republicans voted yes to remove the earmarks – good on them. But 76 voted no, siding with the Democrats to preserve the funding for kid-chop shops and abortion mills. These are the establishment hacks who talk a big game about family values but fold like cheap suits when their pet projects are on the line.

Here’s the full roster of betrayal, sorted by state for your convenience. Remember these names next primary season – they’re why we can’t have nice things.

That’s 76 profiles in cowardice. Some are appropriators like Tom Cole (OK-4), who’s all about protecting the pork pipeline. Others are “moderates” like Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1) or Don Bacon (NE-2), who never met a compromise they didn’t love. And don’t forget the leadership no-shows: Nine Republicans, including Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Whip Tom Emmer, skipped the vote altogether. Convenient, huh?

These turncoats ignored the clear mandate from GOP voters who want fiscal sanity and moral clarity. Instead, they prioritized their district goodies over stopping the left’s assault on kids and the unborn.

Why This Matters: The Bigger Picture of GOP Failure

This vote isn’t an isolated screw-up – it’s symptomatic of a party that’s lost its edge. Republicans rode a wave of anger over cultural rot into power, promising to defund the madness. But when the chips were down, too many chose the easy path of business as usual. The Norman amendment would have saved $1.3 billion and aligned the bill with the original committee version that had zero earmarks. Instead, we’re stuck with a package that props up the very institutions conservatives despise.

And let’s not forget the timing: This comes right after the House passed bills criminalizing gender-affirming care for minors and banning Medicaid coverage for it. Hypocrisy much? You can’t claim to protect kids one day and fund their abusers the next.

The revelations keep coming. Just last month, reports surfaced about Senate earmarks mirroring these horrors – $4 million here for late-term abortion clinics, $1 million there for pediatric gender mills. The House version absorbed similar slop in the final negotiations. Meanwhile, the overall bill hikes spending by 3% over FY25 levels, ignoring the debt crisis that’s barreling toward $40 trillion.

Time to Clean House: What Comes Next

Enough is enough. This betrayal should light a fire under every America First warrior. Primary these RINOs. Demand accountability. And pressure the Senate, where this mess heads next, to gut the earmarks before it hits Trump’s desk.

The swamp thinks it can wear us down with incremental rot. Prove them wrong. Fight like hell, or watch the country you love get carved up by the radicals – with your own party’s help. No more excuses. No more half-measures. America deserves better than this pathetic display.
