COVID relief and LANL and LLNL
Does LLNL or LANL get any money from the Covid relief package. I mean they have stuff in there for transgendered restrooms in Pakistan
and miss, tax deductions for three martini lunches, funding for a women's museum, money to stop doping in horse racing, tax breaks for NASCAR. I figures the NNSA labs have to be in there somewhere, maybe some money for computer security? Perhaps not.

Transgendered restrooms in Pakistan? I almost killed your post.
The building I worked in at the lab did have a transgender bathroom. It was built with one person in mind when a number of women were expressing their wishes when the building was being designed. With that in mind, will the lab return to the piggy trough to guzzle some funds? It is the American Government Way, after all.

Correction, it is 10 million for gender programs in Pakistan. I am not sure what that includes or means but that is in the overall bill.
All of the foreign aid in the bill is in Trump's budget request. Ask him to explain it.
From the Washington Post:
“When your country’s COVID-19 relief bill includes $10 million in ‘gender programs’ for Pakistan, you know Congress is broken,” tweeted Rep.-elect Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.).
This is, at best, misleading. The foreign aid measures had been drafted separately, as part of the annual budget bills that underwent separate legislative processes. And similar foreign aid provisions were in Trump’s own fiscal 2021 budget request. Ultimately, the omnibus spending bill and covid-relief provisions were bundled into a single vote because both faced must-pass deadlines around Christmas.
