Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana stated that certain spending items were removed from the budget via a presidential rescission package, and he claimed that Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and the “socialist wing” of the Democratic Party are demanding their reinstatement as a condition to end the government shutdown. The list of projects Kennedy cited includes:
~ $3.6 million for cooking and dance workshops, or “pastry cooking classes and dance focus groups,” for male prostitutes in Haiti
~ Over $4.2 million for LGBTQ projects in the Western Balkans and Uganda
~ $6 million to subsidize Palestinian media outlets
~ $3 million for circumcisions and vasectomies in Zambia
~ More than $833,000 for transgender people in Nepal
~ $500,000 to purchase electric buses in Rwanda
~ $300,000 to sponsor a pride parade in Lesotho

Kennedy also mentioned broader policy reversals sought by Democrats, such as repealing recent health care reforms and maintaining Affordable Care Act subsidies for high-income earners beyond the pandemic period. He argued that these demands are unreasonable and are being used to block a “clean” continuing resolution to fund the government temporarily.

Government Shutdown Clock – The White House
…day 23, and counting ~ this will be a new part of my posts until the gov opens back up…
Why does the US government shut down? “The U.S. government shuts down when Congress fails to pass funding legislation required to finance its operations, leading to a funding gap. This results in the cessation of non-essential government services and furloughs for many federal employees until a budget is approved.”
“Historical Context: Since 1980, funding gaps have consistently resulted in shutdowns. The most significant shutdowns include the 35-day shutdown in 2018-2019 and the current shutdown that began on October 1, 2025. The latter has become the second-longest in U.S. history, primarily due to ongoing negotiations failing to reach a consensus.”(search assist)
