This evening, the Senate passed legislation that includes full-year funding for five important Appropriations bills. These bills will support our national security interests through investments in our U.S. military service; strengthen court security and invest in oversight of federal programs; support lifesaving biomedical research; modernize our nation’s outdated air traffic system and address the air traffic controller shortage; and support America’s workforce, and children and families. Additionally, this legislation continues funding for the Department of Homeland Security for two weeks to allow us additional time to negotiate that funding bill, in the wake of last weekend’s tragic shooting of Alex Pretti. When we pass this package and when it is signed into law, on top of the previous packages, we will have funded 96 percent of all of government. This marks an important milestone and shows that Congress can work together in a bipartisan manner to carry out our Article One responsibilities and deliver results for the people we are honored to represent.

Last night, for the first time since 2018, the Senate passed annual appropriations bills ahead of the August recess. The three bills—covering Military Construction and Veterans Affairs; Agriculture, FDA, and Rural Development; and the Legislative Branch annual appropriations—each passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. These bills include significant investments for projects across the State of Maine. At Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, nearly $450 million would support power reliability and water resilience upgrades, along with continued expansion of Multi-Mission Dry Dock #1. At my request, Congressionally Directed Spending is included for new fire and rescue stations in Belgrade, Marshfield, St. Agatha, St. Albans, Thomaston, and Swan’s Island. In addition, $10 million is provided for the PFAS Center of Excellence at the University of Maine to advance research and develop solutions to address PFAS contamination in Maine’s food and water systems. I am pleased that, with the passage of these three bills, the Senate is returning to regular order and exercising its constitutional responsibility for the power of the purse. I look forward to continuing the bipartisan cooperation we demonstrated last night as we work to pass the remaining appropriations bills.

Tonight, we finally put an end to the longest government shutdown in our nation’s history, which has caused completely unnecessary harm to so many families in Maine and across the country, as well as to our national and economic security. As Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I worked with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle and with members of the House of Representatives and Administration to resolve the stalemate before America’s dedicated public servants missed yet another paycheck. I am pleased that under our legislation, all federal employees, including members of our military and Coast Guard, Capitol Police officers, Border Patrol agents, TSA screeners, and air traffic controllers will receive their back wages. Since the beginning of the shutdown, I have been pushing for the three appropriations bills that previously passed the Senate with overwhelming bipartisan support to be attached to a continuing resolution to reopen government. These bills include important funding that will support our veterans, troops, farmers, and rural communities, and provide full-year funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).

Tonight, the Senate took an important step toward reopening the government. This continuing resolution will reopen government immediately, extend funding through January 30th, and provide back pay to all federal workers. This measure also includes three full-year Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations bills, including Agriculture, Rural Development, and FDA, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Legislative Branch. This three-bill package, which originally passed the Senate on August 1st with overwhelming bipartisan support, will support our veterans, troops, farmers, and rural communities. This package will also provide full-year funding for SNAP and WIC. We must not delay any longer.

Congress doesn't work because members spend too much time on POLITICS and not enough on POLICY. We had eight bipartisan bills before the HELP Committee today. Bills that help Americans get a life-saving organ transplant; increase access to affordable drugs; and support mothers and babies through healthy pregnancy. Many of these should be easy bills to move through the Committee quickly. Unfortunately, Senator Sanders wants to sabotage all of that, introducing irrelevant partisan amendments to some of these bills. Amendments he knows will prevent these bills from passing the Committee and the Senate. It’s a messaging stunt. It’s grinding the HELP Committee to a halt rather than passing simple, commonsense bills that help people.

This is the opportunity to fund the government in a bipartisan, responsible way. I implore my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to commit to working with us to pass these bills and to take the threat of a Schumer shutdown off the table.

House Republicans should stop playing political games and follow the lead of the Senate by getting to work on bipartisan bills that deliver for the American people. It’s time to do their jobs and prevent a shutdown.

We could be considering bipartisan appropriations bills through regular order, but instead we are stuck in a shutdown mess of Democrats’ making. And the American people are suffering as a result.

Senate Democrats are going to have a fourth opportunity today to vote on the clean, nonpartisan CR that will reopen the federal government. Instead of this pointless and harmful shutdown, we should resume our work moving bipartisan appropriations bills through regular order.

We have a January 30 deadline to fund the government and avoid another shutdown. We’ve already passed one package of three appropriations bills that was signed into law in November, and now we need to finish our work.

The Senate just voted to pass bipartisan bills to fund military construction, VA, agriculture, FDA, and more. Passing these bills ensures that CONGRESS decides how taxpayer funds are spent—NOT Russ Vought or President Trump. This is a good thing for our country.

To be in Congress for a decade and only get four bills passed and signed into law, to rename post offices. That's not the kind of fight that people are looking for.

I met with a bipartisan delegation from the U.S. Congress. I told them that I plan to personally present Ukraine’s plan for victory to President Biden and the presidential candidates from both the Republican and Democratic parties in the near future. We deeply appreciate the support of the President and the U.S. Congress from the very beginning of this war. We are grateful for the passage of a very important bill in Congress, and I hope that all this will be delivered to Ukraine as soon as possible to strengthen our army. 🇺🇦🇺🇸

Under the leadership of Secretary Kristi Noem, DHS is multiplying partnerships with state and local law enforcement to remove the worst of the worst including murderers, gang members, rapists, terrorists, and pedophiles from our country. We encourage more state and local law enforcement agencies to help remove these public safety threats. Rep. Tony Gonzales

This is actually insane 🚨 Marjorie Taylor Greene reveals the reason both the House and Senate aren’t passing the bills they’re required to right now is because they’re waiting until they are stuffed full of everything their lobbyists are asking for “Why can't we pass any of these bills? Here's why — You have the pulling and tugging. Behind the scenes of those lobbyists saying, make sure this gets covered. So they're packing in all the appropriation bills with all the crap” “I'm going to make this real simple because this is a process that's really hard to understand. I had to learn it, too. September 30th, every single year is our government funding deadline. And Congress is constitutionally required to fund the government. That's what we're supposed to do. It's our job. There's 12 separate appropriation bills, and that funds like every different department and section of the government, ranging from the Department of Defense to the Department of Agriculture to tsa, Border Patrol, ICE, all of this really important stuff - We in The House have only passed 2 of our 12 appropriation bills. Only2 - The Senate has only passed 3 out of their 12 appropriation bills, and they have roughly the same amount of time. Why can't we pass any of these bills? Here's why — You have the pulling and tugging. Behind the scenes of those lobbyists saying, make sure this gets covered. So they're packing in all the appropriation bills with all the crap”

.James Talarico: I've passed 60 bipartisan bills through the Texas legislature. These are not nibble-around-the-edges incremental bills. I passed the largest early childhood education bill in our state's history. I passed the first ever cap on insulin co-pays in our state. I passed a major reform to our justice system allowing incarcerated minors to earn a high school diploma. These are major bills that are making a real impact on Texans. I have no problem going toe to toe when I need to. But then the next day we may find a piece of common ground that we can actually get something done on. We're told that it's a choice between people who fight and people who get things done. I think the people of Texas deserve a senator who can do both — and I've shown in the statehouse that I can do both.

1 in 3 members of Congress have exposure to Big Pharma, Vanguard, and BlackRock. These corporations and companies are part of the reason why we have some of the biggest issues in our country right now ! Insider trading is happening in Congress and it’s illegal. This is a bipartisan problem. The American people bipartisan overwhelmingly want to ban it from happening. It is TIME the HOUSE comes up with a solution!

Ukraine is deeply grateful for bipartisan support throughout all these years. We are thankful to the American people and to the President. This means a great deal to Ukrainians. The meeting with the bicameral, bipartisan U.S. Congressional delegation – Senator Chris Coons, Senator Mark Kelly, Richard Blumenthal, Joe Wilson, Rep. Gregory Meeks, and Young Kim – once again demonstrates the steadfast bipartisan and bicameral support to Ukraine from the United States. We discussed the most critical issues: the situation on the front lines, the weapons needed for our defense – above all, air defense and a reliable shield over Ukraine – support for our resolution condemning the abduction and deportation of children, the importance of strengthening sanctions against Russia, the use of frozen assets, and the continued development of cooperation with the United States. 🇺🇦🇺🇸
