So the American Stasi Gets Their Shiny New Building Anyway?

House Republicans railed against a provision of the $1.2 trillion federal funding package that passed Friday that will fund a new FBI headquarters in Maryland.

Tucked away in the 1,012-page bill was a line that appropriated $200 million for the General Services Administration to build a new FBI headquarters in Greenbelt, Maryland. The new funding outraged some House Republicans, who have accused the bureau of political bias.

"The $1.2 trillion, 1000-page swamp-bus released in the dead of night includes $200 MILLION for a new FBI Headquarters So much for those ‘cuts’ to FBI," Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, posted on X.

The FBI funds were included in a list of "sellouts and failures" contained in the spending package posted by Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa.

Lord, I know we don't have but a hairs' breadth of a majority and must compromise, but there should be things that are a bridge too far, regardless.

The FBI itself needs to be torn down, not rewarded.
