"However, we had an opportunity on Friday to do the same thing, while also securing the border, cutting reckless government spending, and establishing a bicameral Fiscal Commission. Every single Democrat, and unfortunately, 21 Republicans voted against it. My priorities are very clear: I would rather secure the border than shut down the government. "With the rejection of the conservative temporary spending and border security bill, Chuck Schumer began pushing a continuing resolution through the Senate that would not only have kept the government open, but would have given Biden $6 billion more Ukraine funding with no additional oversight. "We have canceled our October district work period to remain in DC to debate and pass the appropriations bills in regular order. This will give us an opportunity to put conservative spending bills on the floor for a vote." H.R. 5860 extends government funding for 45 days and: Provides $16 billion in supplemental funding for disaster relief. Does not include $6 billion in supplemental funding for Ukraine. Extends key authorities and operations for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) through December 31, 2023. Extends the authorization and borrowing authority of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) through November 17, 2023. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z |
