Cicilline (D-RI) released the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives approved a $1.1 trillion government funding bill that contains several policy riders: “Tonight's vote was a huge giveaway to Wall Street and encourages the unscrupulous speculation and excessive greed that nearly brought our economy to its knees. The Republican-led House approved this spending bill that was crafted behind closed doors, does the bidding of the biggest banks on Wall Street and could put taxpayers on the hook for the risky behavior of large financial institutions -- the same type of reckless behavior that resulted in the financial crash of 2008. Another provision allows wealthy, powerful special interests to buy more influence in Washington by pouring more money into our elections and drowning out the voices of ordinary Americans in our democracy. The spending measure also compromises our national security by failing to provide long term funding for the Department of Homeland Security. This bill represents a big giveaway to the most powerful special interests in this country at the expense of everyday Americans and I could not, in good conscious, support this bill." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
