The Freedom Caucus tried to punish feds with this in 2017-18, but were thwarted by their leadership. My colleagues and I repealed the rule in 2019. But today's GOP and Kevin McCarthy are under the Freedom Caucus' thumb. They are demanding that the Holman Rule be reinstated. https://t.co/EySYpfoE0V — PolitiTweet.org

It's a 19th century procedural change in the House called the "Holman Rule." The Holman Rule changed over time, but in its most recent form it allowed the use of must-pass spending bills to eliminate salaries of individual federal employees or to zero funding for a whole office. https://t.co/7gdnccVGud — PolitiTweet.org

And this is the key point: amid the investigation of Donald Trump for mishandling classified materials and sensitive national security secrets, the House Freedom Caucus wants to use the Holman Rule to, in their words, "start defunding… the FBI, the DOJ.” https://t.co/CxFTeJpvbn — PolitiTweet.org

Biggs talks about defunding agencies like the FBI and DOJ. https://t.co/l3qOjnwWH2
