Members of the 'Squad', a group of far-left Congress members, have accumulated nearly $225 million in earmarks since 2023. House Republicans, previously against earmarks, have also embraced federal funds. The Squad's requests focus on clean energy, environmental justice, and diversity.
The earmark requests from the Squad fell into three categories: clean energy, environmental justice and diversity. https://t.co/a2ZH2mhEoE
Each member of the lower chamber can request a maximum of 15 earmarks, meaning the Squad could request up to 120 pork projects in the 2024 spending package. According to the analysis, they made 108 requests. https://t.co/TrMQuXKORw
