Several new items from Democrats in this year’s Congressional budget request are raising eyebrows among conservatives.
The 1,000-page budget, released around 2:30 a.m. Thursday, includes money earmarked for controversial LGBTQ+ facilities and late-term abortion clinics. Another request includes a multimillion-dollar proposal for what critics call a “gun seizure” study.
“Until these egregious provisions are eliminated, Congress cannot pass this bill in its current form,” former Vice President Mike Pence’s nonprofit group Americans Advancing Freedom told Fox News Digital in a statement Thursday. It cannot pass,” he said.

“Releasing the text of the bill in the middle of the night leaves the government tied up in funding and binders with confused children,” said John Shelton, AAF policy director. “American taxpayers have become funding centers that encourage children to transition without their parents’ knowledge.”
Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., requested $400,000 for the facility, called Briarpatch Youth Services, according to appropriations documents.

Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Jack Reed, D.R., and Sheldon Whitehouse requested $1.8 million for the Women’s and Infants Hospital of Rhode Island. The clinic performs elective abortions of up to 22 weeks, both surgical and chemical, according to its website.
Another $12.5 million is proposed for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) study called the “Prevention of Firearm Injury and Mortality” study. The NIH states on its website that it conducts “scientific research to develop, evaluate, and implement effective public health interventions to better understand and prevent violence, including firearm violence, and its associated trauma, injury, and mortality.” We are committed to supporting them.”
Gun Owners of America, a gun rights lobbying group, posted to X on Thursday: “These grants are now funding ‘research’ on things like gun confiscation and the ‘firearm retirement’ age for seniors!”
