Not sure what the Republicans' priorities are? I looked through bills introduced into Congress so far (though not the text as they've largely not been released). What I found 🧵

• restrict abortion

• mandate ultrasound & showing it to woman before an abortion can take place

• abolish OSHA entirely

• repeal the ACA

• withdraw from the WHO

• repeal Motor Voter Act

• repeal all funding to Fulton County & Manhattan DA offices (where Trump was charged)

• abolish ATF

• prohibit moratoria on fracking

• require apportionment based on number of citizens, not whole population (objectively unconstitutional)

• construct border wall

• prohibit funding for supervised injection sites

• mass deportation

• repeal Inflation Reduction Act

• cut IRS funding

• withhold highway funds for states that issue driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants

• cut all federal funds for sanctuary jurisdictions

• prohibit federal funds for high speed rail in California

This is just the start; Congress just started.

There's some more technical items such as prohibiting interest on excess reserves, which would destroy the US banking industry as we know it given that the mandatory reserve level is currently zero. I've focused on some of the crazier items, which is difficult to do with so much insanity present.
