I believe it's $680 BILLION, not million… https://t.co/fGeRMaYlMF

I’ll update with more when I have the vote counts and the roll calls…

UPDATE: Guess who missed such an important vote?

THE HILL – Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) missed Friday’s Senate vote approving a massive $1.8 trillion end-of-the-year spending bill and tax package — a day after he suggested that he would try to slow the legislation down.

The Florida Republican, who is running for president, was the only 2016 contender to miss the vote, which is the Senate’s final vote of the year.

Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), three other presidential candidates, all voted against the the legislation.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a fourth GOP presidential candidate from the Senate, backed the bill.

 
UPDATE: Here’s the vote count. All they needed was a simple majority to pass it. They clearly got much more than that:

Senate PASSES $1.1 trillion Omnibus funding/$680 billion tax extender package, 65-33. The bill now goes to the WH for Pres Obama's signature

UPDATE: A strong statement from Sen. Cruz who voted against the bill:

What we’ve seen in Congress today is profoundly disappointing. This spending bill does not honor the promises we made to the men and women who elected us. It funds Obamacare. It funds Planned Parenthood. It funds executive amnesty. It fails to protect our national security and stop Syrian refugees from coming to this country. It fails to do anything to stop the Iranian Nuclear Deal. And what does it do? It jacks up yet more low-skilled immigration, which will only drag down wages, kill American jobs, and hurt working men and women.

This bill is the big-government agenda of Democrats that effectively forfeits our massive Republican victories of 2014 and cements Obama’s priorities for nearly the full remainder of his term. This is the Washington Cartel in action, and it’s precisely why the American people from coast-to-coast are so volcanically frustrated.

Not Voting – 2

"And Rubio ended his Presidential Campaign chances today by NO SHOWING for the vote."

It sure does tell us everything we need to know about Rubio.

[Beowulf9]

I think this is a done deal.

[EverRight]

List is way out of date! Senators Helms and Faircloth are long gone! TOO BAD, wish they were still here!

[Nero Germanicus]

My goodness, Jesse Helms left the Senate in 2003 and he died in 2008.

[Mr Rogers]

McNuts and McFlake voted against. They must have gotten a kitchen pass to vote that way, because I’m 100% sure both are glad it passed.

[Carl Vehse]

Cornyn (T-TX) The T stands for traitor.

[Eddie01]

[Bob434]

well some might be ok- better than nothing- it’s all I could find unfortunately

[MNJohnnie]

Nice work!

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Perdue (Ga) voted yes. Did not expect that.

[Eddie01]

Thanks for the inspiration.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Although Rubio’s vote would not make a difference in outcome, that he was a no-show is symbolic to the nth degree.

Sometimes they make it so easy to cross them off the list.

[Colonel_Flagg]

You do realize that the best conservative candidate in the field very articulately voted for exactly your position, don’t you?

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Back it up....Paul Ryan, SOTH, called his party the opposition party? The same party which supposedly controls both Houses of Congress??

Jesus, save me.

[Nero Germanicus]

These votes show that there are 26 conservatives in the Senate out of 54 Republicans and there are 95 conservatives in the House out of 246 Republicans.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

At least Obama used to vote ‘present.’

[hsmomx3]

I don’t see his name at all.

[Personal Responsibility]

He absolutely did!

PAUL RYAN: The budget bill had some real wins for the American people in in, whether it is lifting the oil export ban, increasing military spending, or renewing healthcare for 9/11 first responders...

We need to be an effective opposition party. It reigns in the IRs, stops EPA over reach, blocks several Obamacare programs, and stops the risk corridor program.

Thank you so much!

I’ll never forget how he was swindled out of his rightful election!

I despise everyone involved, particularly Haley Barbour and Thad.
