The original House GOP bill ended the Biden's taxpayer-funded abortion travel ban, taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries, Biden's radical climate agenda, and ended the protect service members who were discharged from refusing the COVID vaccine. It also banned drag shows and drag queen story hour, prohibited critical race theory, created an inspector general for Ukraine aid accountability, prohibited race-based admissions at military academies, and eliminated chief diversity officers.
Out of those, the only "win we got" was prohibiting critical race theory in the NDAA "compromise."
