- Aaron Bean (Fla.)
- Andy Biggs (Ariz.)

The bill, which Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) presented just a few hours before it was voted on, failed with a 174-235-1 vote. It did not reach the two-thirds margin necessary to pass as it was brought under the suspension of the rules.

How many said they wanted less spending? How many said they wanted more spending?
Even Eyepatch McCain knew to vote NO.
The rest of them think there’s ‘safety in numbers’, which was why so many Republicans defied Trump. The problem they’ll soon find out that Elon’s ‘numbers’ (as in bank account) is about as close to infinity as one can get with today’s supercomputers.
As well they should have.
Even the ‘rats didn’t vote for it [except 2?]
Wesley Hunt??? Very disappointing!!!
Filthy bastards.
Why did Massie vote no?
Maybe they just want to shut the government down and wait for yhe new congress
I think that DJT does have an actual mandate involving the outlandish spending. DJT should literally veto ANY bill that has more than one item. Period. Not only would he curb government spending, he’s be exposing anybody that pushes for pork barrel spending.
That’s what I think. Don’t care one way or the other as long as the first POS failed and congress got spanked.
Is there a “Poison Pill” in this bill?
Good.
Many of these House members are true conservatives. I’m guessing they want even deeper cuts.
There are a lot of Arizona snakes on that list. McCain was such a crypto communist.
Why do you say this?
Heroes. I’m glad to see Alex Mooney on the list.
Because he is a fiscal conservative.
Shut it down!
Well, now we all know that you hate fiscal conservatives. Thank you for outing yourself.
There are some good people on that list. Maybe they want a longer shut-down.
