In the traditional holiday spirit Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky is participating in the Festivus holiday by airing his grievances. We will continue to update the story throughout the day with his famous grievances.
Good morning and Happy #Festivus. Today we will air some more grievances in the holiday tradition!

I’ll throw in a new wrinkle this year because SO MANY people are joining in with my grievances that I want to highlight how the word is spreading — your government is out of control, and a LOT of us have grievances.

We will talk about Congress, Petty Tyrants all over, foreign aid, wasteful spending, science denying “experts” and other holiday goodies.This is not the time for holiday cheer! That’s for TOMORROW, AFTER we air our grievances.

Later, for feats of strength, we will see who can lift with one hand the 5593 page monstrosity of a bill Congress just passed. Good luck!

$33 billion to promote Democracy in Venezuela. That seems to be going well so far.

OH WAIT I FOUND IT. We are going to promote Democracy in America with $132 million in “assistance for GEORGIA.” No, wait, that’s the former Soviet Republic, never mind.

My friend Thomas Massie adding to the grievances today. I’m going to share a few today to show that #Festivus has real meaning – we are trying to spread the word about government wastes and abuse, while telling a few jokes along the weigh. https://t.co/F2Vuu37f4y

Speaking of things President Trump opposes, by all accounts he is going to veto the NDAA. Do you want to know what’s important in Congress? They’re going to call us all back to try to override his veto, because they want to make sure he can’t end a war.

Liz Cheney & others in the war caucus are so hell-bent on continuing their endless wars, they will call a special session, over holidays, fly everyone back to DC (remember when that was a problem) JUST to make sure wars don’t end. That’s probably my biggest grievance of the day.

Andy Biggs and Chip Roy among the 50 House Republicans who voted NO on this mess of a bill. So I’ve got a lot of grievances with the other 145 or so House Republicans. https://t.co/WuU7VCmbwr

Mike Lee was only one of 6 of us in the Senate to oppose this abomination. You should pay attention to who stood up agains this mess and who didn’t. Air your grievances too #Festivus https://t.co/JlC4S0bBCJ

Yesterday, I published my #Festivus waste report, which highlighted $54 billion in truly outlandish waste in government.

Remember this the next time they tell you there’s “nothing to cut.”
