US EditionGOP Backlash to Omar Earmark Slows Government-Funding Bill
House conservatives led by Rep. Chip Roy have removed at least one earmark funding progressive nonprofits amid GOP objections to taxpayer support for left-leaning groups.
- This past week, House conservatives led by Rep. Chip Roy pushed to remove earmarks from the Commerce, Justice, and Science appropriations package, slowing passage as leaders broker deals, while the Washington Examiner identified additional progressive groups that would receive funding if those earmarks remain.
- Conservatives argue the practice funds progressive nonprofits and legal aid groups aiding undocumented immigrants, with Rep. Chip Roy calling earmarks `the currency of corruption`.
- Documented earmarks show grants including roughly $1.5 million for two National Urban League chapters, $500,000 to Mothers United Against Violence, and $250,000 for the Center for Justice Innovation.
- Through efforts led by House conservatives, some funding was removed from the final appropriations bill, including a $1 million earmark requested by Rep. Ilhan Omar, but Roy said he will oppose the bill because unacceptable earmarks remain.
- On March 10, 2025, House Rules Committee activity unfolded amid the National Urban League's 2024 `Woke Summit` and get-out-the-vote events criticizing GOP agendas.
