A total of 18 Republicans joined all Senate Democrats to pass a $1.85 trillion omnibus spending bill Thursday afternoon, in the final two weeks in which Democrats control the House of Representatives.
The bill passed 68-29. Since there are 47 Democrats in the Senate and three independents who caucus with Democrats, that means 18 Republicans voted to support the spending package. They are listed below.
Conservatives called the move during the lame-duck session a “stunning act of betrayal.” Democrats have had both branches of Congress and the presidency during all of 2022, conservatives say, but rushed to pass this budget bill only after Republicans won a House majority in November.
Since 1994, the House majority has changed four times. In each case, the outgoing majority didn’t pass an omnibus appropriations bill during the lame-duck session following the election. In each case, the outgoing majority left the hard work of legislating to the representatives the American people had just elected.
Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., incoming chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, warned that Republicans would be voluntarily abandoning their ability to hold the Biden administration accountable for the next year.

Wait...Schumer does not need a Senate majority...he has McConnell and his gang of RINO's to get him what he wants.
"If we don't vote for the lesser of two evils, the independents won't vote for us."
Well, the independents don't have to vote for us, Schumer and the democrats still get what they want.
Tom Cotton from Arkansas - he talks a good game. Guess he is available to McConnell when he is needed.
The corruption in the Ukraine is what funds the DNC and Biden regime corruption. Have to cut the flow of taxpayer funds through the money laundering in the Ukraine unless we want to keep fueling the Biden regime.
Here’s the tactic Mitch uses with these PROSTITUTES:
“This is the multi-$$Billion earmark you get if you come on-board.
otherwise the bill passes anyway and you get nothing AND you’ll be on the dog-poop committee...”
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
because of crap like this mitch has more power to deal with more pork than if he was in the majority
This is what happens when those empowered evil POS don’t fear the people anymore. If there would’ve been a red wave, those bastards would’ve been shaking in their boots. I blame the American people they continue to vote these pieces of shit in office. Sorry, but I am so done with these pieces of garbage. This country is finished and the sooner we realize it the quicker we can move on. 😡 please China, or Russia nuke the effing out of DC!
Short term graft for them...long term dire effects on our kids and grandkids.

The invasion of illegals is to insure that dems and their allies never lose an election ever again. They already know how to rig the system to make sure that they always win.
It’s not just the money.
Wait til we find out about the voting provisions.
It’s not a Deep State, it’s a Corrupt State.

They don't have to launder money through Ukraine: they just vote to give it to themselves and their supporters, and it's perfectly legal.
