The $460 billion government funding bill the House of Representatives is set to vote on Wednesday includes $1 million marked for an LGBTQ community center that once held a drag event with children.

It comes as Democrats celebrate the lack of "poison pills" in the bill while GOP hardliners lament what they call a lost opportunity to force passage of conservative policies.

The earmark for the William Way LGBT Community Center in Philadelphia was advocated for by Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-Pa., and Sens. Bob Casey and John Fetterman, both Pennsylvania Democrats. 

A 2016 article published in the Philadelphia Gay News titled, "Youth celebrate the art of drag at William Way," described an 11-year-old boy named Esai and an 8-year-old named Max participating in a youth drag event at the center.

"When Esai slides down from his chair, his blonde hair is in tight curls, his lips are purple and his eyes are lidded with pink and silver eye shadow against his rosy face. He teeters by in heeled boots far too big for him and changes out of his purple ‘We Are Made of Stars’ T–shirt. He could be any little girl playing dress-up, save for the expert cosmetic application," the article reads.

It described his makeup as being applied by "a bearded man in studded leather platform boots."

"Max dances to ‘No’ by Meghan Trainor, periodically dropping into the splits in his long, red dress. None of this is choreographed – it really is just kids dancing around, playing dress–up, having fun," it said of the 8-year-old.

The allocation was highlighted in a memo by Americans Advancing Freedom (AAF), a policy and advocacy group started by former Vice President Mike Pence.

GOP HARDLINERS FURIOUS AT JOHNSON FOR PASSING ANOTHER SHORT-TERM SPENDING BILL WITH DEMS: 'USUAL C--P'

It’s one of more than 6,000 allocations in the bill, which total $12.7 billion in spending – something conservative lawmakers are furious about.

"Earmarks are basically, it's congressional crack," Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., told Fox News Digital. "Congressional opium – and opium is O-P-M, other people's money. Congress is hooked on it."

"You get people to vote for it, you increase spending, increased borrowing, you send our nation further down the track of fiscal irresponsibility," he said.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, argued that lawmakers will not have enough time to properly scour the bill’s contents with all of the additional details.

"There is no way any mortal could actually vet all of the earmarks in the 48-hour time period they’ve given us so far. These highlights are just the tip of the iceberg. Heads must roll," he wrote.

Meanwhile, AAF’s memo pointed out that policies that GOP hardliners fought to include in the bill – like limitations on transgender medical care, pride flag displays, and critical race theory – were not included in the final bill.

It’s something Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., celebrated on Tuesday, declaring the bills were free of "devastating cuts or poison pill riders pushed by the MAGA."

New York City is bringing back random bag checks for subway riders amid an alarming rise in crime on the Big Apple’s transit system.

Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, announced plans to implement the measure on Tuesday, when he also said he wants more police patrolling the subways as the city attempts to curb a near 20% increase in crime levels during the first two months of 2024 compared to the same period last year, according to NYPD data cited by the New York Post.

There were three homicides in the underground system over January and February, while incidents such as grand larcenies, felony assaults and robberies have also skyrocketed.

On Sunday, a 64-year-old postal worker was kicked onto the tracks at Penn Station in Manhattan while a 20-year-old woman fought off a man who punched her in the face and tried to rape her in Queens. Last week, a subway conductor was slashed in the neck when he stuck his head out of the cabin window during a stop at a station in Brooklyn.

WHAT IS 'STOP AND FRISK'? CONTROVERSIAL POLICING TECHNIQUE EXPLAINED

A cello player was hit over the head with a bottle by a crazed woman last month, while in January, Fox News meteorologist Adam Klotz was brutally beaten on a Big Apple subway by a group of teens after he intervened on behalf of an elderly man whose hair they lit on fire.

"We know people feel unsafe," Adams, a former NYPD detective, said at a Tuesday press briefing.

"We are reinstituting bag checks. There are several things we are reinstituting in the system."

The bag searches are similar in nature to the controversial "stop and frisk" program the city previously employed, which was criticized for being implemented in a discriminatory fashion and was ruled unconstitutional a decade ago. Proponents say it saves lives by getting weapons off the streets.

Nevertheless, Adams said police would be searching bags for weapons such as knives, box cutters, clubs and guns. 

"I'm on the subway system and I speak with riders. They say, ‘Eric, nothing makes us feel safer than seeing that officer at the token booth, walking through the system, walking through the trains’ and that is what we want our officers to do."   

The NYPD’s transit division is deploying 94 bag screening teams to 136 subway stations and will be adding more, although it did not say by how many, the New York Post reports. The department last month boosted its presence in the system by 1,000 officers, according to the publication.

"We’re going to continuously make sure our officers move as much as possible to show a greater presence to deal with how people are feeling in our system right now," Adams said. 

Adams also said his administration is looking at testing metal detectors in a bid to keep guns off trains.

Meanwhile, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is expected to announce state assistance to the city’s subway safety efforts. 

The plans are set to include new state personnel assisting the NYPD with bag checks and other new measures, a spokesperson for the governor told NBC.

Hochul, also a Democrat, met with Adams and top officials from the NYPD and MTA last week to discuss the plans, the outlet reports.
