flag Republicans accuse Democrats of pushing for reinstating disputed foreign aid to end the government shutdown.

flag Republican Senator John Kennedy accused Senate Democrats, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, of demanding the reinstatement of controversial foreign aid projects—such as $3.6 million for cooking and dance programs in Haiti and funding for LGBTQ initiatives in multiple countries—as leverage to end the ongoing government shutdown. flag He claimed these items, removed via a budget rescission, are being used to advance what he called wasteful, ideologically driven spending. flag The specific figures and project details remain unverified by independent sources, and no official confirmation has been provided. flag The dispute underscores deepening political divisions over federal spending priorities amid the shutdown's continuation into October 2025.
