The Senate on Tuesday evening voted 70-25 to advance the $1.7 trillion Omnibus spending bill and open debate.
This is just the first procedural vote.
The latest spending bill is full of special interest earmarks and pork.
The bill includes $45 billion to Ukraine, $7.5 million in LGBTQ programs, Jan 6 prosecution funding and more.
There is no money for border security.
3,000 pages that no one has read.
Senate Republicans are giving away the incoming GOP Majority House’s power of the purse until September 2023.

Thanks. I looked and didn’t find it by this time...
I suspect Hickenlooper isn’t even in D. C. right now.
Official business ended today. He may have family illness
or something.
Shelby alone is getting slmost $700 million abd Inhofe almost $600 million.
RHINOS? Hell, the entire GOP is corrupt. I am done, my vote is less than worthless. Conservatives, are the battered step children of the GOP.
Uh, they have lots and lots of help from Republicans.
Spirit of antichrist at work.
Sheer madness.

It went about as I expected it would.
I don’t see any mention of I’s in there.
Yes, saw your first post and linked you to it.
It’s amazing how our side peals off every single time.
Big Media won’t tell you the things you actually need to know. Just go straight to the Senate or House website; they post roll call votes fairly promptly.
Yep; pretty obvious by the vote count.
I say the madness truly got rolling after BHO showed up.
Which was after W wrecked the economy.
I should have said I agree we have lots of traitors.
I’ve tried going there a number of times in the past and
wasn’t as impressed with their forthrightness as you seem
to be, but you may have been more adept at finding it there
than I was. At any rate, I do appreciate your tip and
posting the vote.
Commie Sanders is listed as an “I”; he voted for the gigantic pile of meadow muffins. Sinema is still listed as a “D”; she also voted for the fecal sandwich.
I live but to serve the Free Republic ...
The Zelenskyyyy shakedown visit announcement was designed to get this lopsided vote. No one wants to answer questions about “why did you vote to help Putin?!?!?!”
$7.5 million in LGBTQ programs
This country has lost its ever living mind.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
With $45 billion included for the Ukes, I’d say: yes. Mind totally gone.
Sanders loves the idea of a bigger and bigger state.
We’d be full on Communist far before now if he had his way.
I agree with your take on it in your next post.
They all want a bigger and bigger state, even so-called “Conservatives”, it’s all about whose hand gets to be on the wheel.
Seems like a lot of folks on this forum are perfectly happy with a bigger and bigger State, as well.
Yes, to most if them that’s exactly right.
Any wonder 🤔 why World War IV is on the horizon for a Great Reset?
The debt is so massive it’s mind-boggling.
Im shocked that Cassidy voted No. He was singing the bills praises a week or so ago.
Of course Mitch’s Bitches, Romney, Collins, Murkowski, etc. voted Yes. Traitors to the party and mostly to the country.
