We worked a little late last night. We voted to get rid of this leftwing socialistic woke agenda that has not only been crammed down the throats of the American people but crammed down the throats of our military. That is right. We got rid of DEI and CRT. It is gone. Now we can get back to protecting the citizens of this country. We also are protecting the citizens of the unborn. We got rid of abortions that are paid for by taxpayers in our military. We did one more thing, Mr. Speaker.

Hold the line, negotiate, and fight for this bill when it comes back from the Senate. ____________________
