This stopgap is not perfect, however it will prevent unnecessary harm to American families, farmers, small businesses, and servicemembers, while giving us more time to reach a final spending agreement. I urge my Republican colleagues in the House to work over the next 45 days in a bipartisan manner, like the Senate, to fund our government long term and provide necessary aid to Ukraine in their fight for freedom.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z |
