8-4 Vote: Cost-Cutter Bonuses Advance as Four Ethics Amendments Fail 7-8
A claimed 8-4 bonus-bill vote and four 7-8 ethics defeats cannot be verified in the reporting file. What can be: an 8-7 Fauci contempt vote and a GAO audit finding 96% of DOGE grant savings unverifiable.
Tulichojua kwanza
- Senate Homeland Security panel voted 8-7 on Aug. 6, 2026 to hold Fauci in contempt on party lines.
- Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused COVID-19 questions at July 29 hearing.
- Paul asked Justice Department on Aug. 7 to prosecute Fauci after contempt vote.
- GAO found 96% of DOGE claimed grant savings unverifiable from $110 billion claimed.
Ambacho hakikuwa wazi wakati huo
- No verified text, sponsor memo, or roll call for a cost-cutter bonus bill advancing 8-4.
- No verified text or roll calls for four ethics amendments failing 7-8, and no verified Peters or Gallego amendment statements.
- No verified source for $100,000-a-month social-media figure, $1 million foreign-income figure, or hundreds of millions in East Wing donations.
Tulichosema tungefuatilia
- Whether the full Senate takes up any bonus bill, and what text it would use to define verifiable savings.
- Whether the Justice Department acts on the Fauci contempt referral.
- Whether future savings claims adopt GAO-verifiable accounting after the 96% finding.
