Only Womack and Fitzpatrick will return for the next Congress.
Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez voted no. Democrat Rashida Tlaib voted “present” by proxy. AOC has not given a reason why she voted no.
The bill goes to Biden, who will sign it.
The omnibus bill has 6,825 pages. 4,155 pages are dedicated to legislation, and 2,670 pages are for explanations. It also has 4,000 pages of earmarks for pet projects.
A few more earmarks:
$477k for "antiracist" training from the Equity Institute
$3 million for the LGBTQ+ museum in NYC
$1.2 million in "services for DACA recipients"
$4.1 million in various career programs for one of the richest counties in the US (Fairfax) pic.twitter.com/pPTxuTwGfQ

The party you were registered in, nominated by, elected from, the ideology you profess(ed), and the promises you made to your constituents have absolutely ZERO bearing on your votes in Congress.

That’s the fine print. Only one in ten have read it. Only two in ten care.
Thank you Bitch McConnell and your crop of RINO traitors for ramming this through.
And they actually have the gall to say TRUMP is the reason we wouldn’t give these pieces of shit power back.
This is their upraised one-finger salute on their way out.
I’m sad they will not.be greeted by a necktie party when they get home.
They aren’t all on their way out. I’m stuck with Cornyn until 3 January 2027. And that assumes he doesn’t sucker sufficient Texans again. I, and others, didn’t vote for him in 2020 but he still was re-elected.
AOC voted no because there wasn’t enough graft in this bill.
She misheard it as “Romney Bus Bill.”
But, at least she stuck to her stated principles.
Any 2 senators could have filibustered this piece of shit and didn’t
Calling R Paul, Cruz all the big talkers
They are all in on it
You do realize that Trump can’t hold every elected office right?
And his track record on allies is suspect at best.
They really hate us… republicans like McConnell and many others that is

Our democracy may survive in spite of itself. Our Republic won’t survive the US Congress.
7 of the 9 are already removed. That seems like pretty efffective selection.
We’re on the Titanic and sinking fast
