Democratic Kansas Rep. Sharice Davids praised new federal dollars for her Kansas City area district Wednesday to help finance the security costs of hosting six matches for the 2026 World Cup.

“Just announced: New federal funding is headed our way to boost public safety ahead of next year’s World Cup!” Davids posted on the social media platform X.

The four-term lawmaker did not mention the legislative vehicle that secured the funding — the president’s “big, beautiful” law — which she voted against.

Davids referred to the legislation as an “extreme budget [that] hurts everyone who isn’t already a billionaire,” in a statement the day of her “no” vote.

Making lemonade with lemons?   Kind of weird crowing about something you voted against.

Is it possible for a bill to be bad overall but have some specific small elements that are good for specific locations of country? 

Crazy idea, I know. Gotta really think outside the box.

Yes it is possible.   But it is hypocritical to be loud and proud to say no to the bill, but be loud and proud about the good of the bill without saying it was the bill that you opposed that did the good.  

She could have said, "this was a good part of the big beautiful bill that I opposed."   But she didn't.   It appears she is taking credit for this thing.   It is the game  that is played.  No need to think outside the box, just to think like a politician.    Which I wouldn't recommend to anyone.

This is another example of politicians being their worst self. And it is a bi-partisan issue. Same thing happened when Republicans voted against the CHIPS Act and the Inflation Reduction Act.
