"We, the undersigned, pledge that we will not request earmarks." This was the promise of a group of MAGA Republicans in 2021 that included Lauren Boebert and MTG. Naturally, this group is now requesting over $175 million in earmarks. Gawrsh!

Bipartisan Policy Center panel on #earmarks or "Congressionally Directed Spending"
If your initial response is "ewww" to earmarks, tune in and see if your mind is changed. Turns out (w/appropriate reporting & limits on self-dealing) they are an important way for #Congress to exercise its Article I "power of the purse" AND provide incentives for rank-and-file Members to productively engage.
