March Madness started this week, arguably one of sports fans’ favorite times of the year. Millions of people tune in to see college basketball teams from all over the country face off in a single elimination tournament in a bracket of 64 teams until only one is left standing as champion. Embracing that spirit of bracketology, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) decided to host a little March Madness of his own on Thursday.

“U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) announced his 2024 March Earmark Madness Tournament consisting of 16 of the most egregious earmarks in the $1.2 trillion spending bill being considered by Congress this week,” a press release from Paul’s office said. “These ‘Shameful 16,’ which spend Americans’ hard-earned tax-payer dollars on individual Senators’ pet projects, were chosen amongst more than 1,400 earmarks detailed over 1,000 pages released just one day before leadership in both parties will force a vote on the deal.”
