"Lawmakers' Silly Stunts: From Space Lasers to Foreign Aid Bills"

TL;DR Summary
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced a series of amendments to oppose a foreign aid package, including one for the development of "space laser technology" on the southern border, citing Israel's use of similar technology. These proposals, while seemingly unserious, are part of a larger strategy to send a message about her stance on border security and troll her colleagues. Other conservative Republicans have also filed performative amendments, but Greene's reference to "space lasers" adds a layer of absurdity to her approach.
