The Senate voted on government funding just 3 days before Christmas because Democrats, who control the agenda, didn't do their job and pass funding bills earlier.
Senate Democrats have failed in one of our most basic responsibilities.
This morning, Senate Republicans demanded & I voted for amendments to:
• Keep Title 42 in place
• Remove earmarks
• Support 9/11 victims’ families
• End funding migrant transport in the U.S.
While my provisions to support Sept. 11 families and to allow state & local govts to reallocate unspent COVID funds to other important priorities did pass, Senate Democrats blocked many others.
This is not responsible governing. If Republicans controlled the agenda, it would be much different.
But a shutdown would negatively impact our national security & economy at a time when we can least afford it, and without the votes to change the outcome would be pointless.
While I strongly believe the government funding process is broken and must return to regular order, we cannot abdicate our duty to our men and women in uniform and at our southern border and fail to provide them the resources to do their jobs.
Having lost the vote for a continuing resolution until the new Republican majority takes over in January, we had two bad choices: cast a protest vote AGAINST funding our military, veterans, border patrol, and other essential government functions, or vote for a flawed bill.
Sometimes the lesser of two bad choices is all you have got.

He should have been primaried in 2020. He will be 74 when he is up for reelection again. I think he’ll lose this time. I’m glad people have been contacting his office for betraying the Party.
Um, he had “another option.” That was to wait until the new Republican congress is seated. A**HOLE
I’m going to contact the traitor’s office a few more times just for good measure.
We *must* primary this Assistant Democrat. It’ll be a few more years, unfortunately, but we’ve got to get him OUT.
Get rid of Cornyn, and all the other rino Republicans who voted for the Omnibus bill. Their Omnibus vote showed their true colors. Term limits is about the only solution to rid the party of rinos.
That also goes for my Senator for Indiana and a former Marine to boot.
“But a shutdown would negatively impact our national security & economy at a time when we can least afford it”
That is an excuse and cover for what McCconnell did not lead the Senate GOP to do - deprive Schumer of sixty votes and instead of the Ominbus pit hold out for just a continuaing resoltution to keep the fed funded as is thru Jan-Feb, when the GOP would have had the majority in the House.
Long time ally of Mandarin Mitch McConnell.
Boy did he get booed at the State Republican Convention!
I had no Idea that 6000+ could be so loud.
His defense is that he was helpless, the democrats outwitted him, and he just had to go along.
DITTO! FU RINO CJ!!!!😡
I hear the National Guard are not going to get their paycheck because there’s not enough money to pay them. And this MF wants us to believe he didn’t have a choice? 1.7 TRILLION to fund the whole freaking world and not a penny for the American people ? FU John C!!!!!😡 AND GO STRAIGHT TO HELL YOU POS!!! We are going to work hard to get your ass out of that seat! We’re on a mission and we’re going straight for your *ALLS
Here’s a real Texan, you POS. May you be spit on everywhere you go. JUST IN: Chip Roy Completely Explodes At Democrats On House Floor Over Omnibus

He IS A DISGUSTING RINO!!!
Support 9 11 families?? WTF?? It’s been 21 YEARS!! How about supporting the REST OF US!
He’s dead to me. Republic better find someone not like him for the election.
They dont actually feel the heat because the RINO’s that get elected year after year think they can get away with it by talking about the few part of the bills that we WOULD like...
Anyone running against them in the future should be using the hundreds of things that we don't like in there campaign ads...
such as Cornyn voted for 3 million dollars to fund Michell Obamas walking trails and go down the list of pork in the entire budget..it would add up to BILLIONS and they couldnt deny it!
every item in that budget should be voted on 1 item at a time....they have nothing better to do all year long...
“But a shutdown would negatively impact our national security & economy”
BULLCRAP YOU LIAR!!!
I will work hard to see this POS RINO primaried.
He has to go.
Damn Embarrassment.
