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.

Now that the Democrats have finally ended the Schumer shutdown, the Senate has a lot of work to do. It is my intention this week to start the consideration of a package of up to five appropriations bills so that we can fund the government in a transparent and open way.

The package to reopen the government is simple: the same clean CR funding bill House Republicans passed back in September — extended to January 30 to continue our work through regular order appropriations. It also includes full-year funding bills for our veterans and farmers — and back pay for every federal worker hurt by the Democrat Shutdown.

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 will not fund healthcare for illegals, but helpless women and children on WIC shouldn’t be punished for political fighting in Washington. The Republican-controlled Senate needs to stop playing games with America Last Democrats and use the nuclear option to pass the CR and fund the government so that innocent Americans aren’t hurt. And Republicans need to get back to work on our own appropriations bills and pass the policies that America voted for! I 100% agree with the cuts that Russ Vought is making, but the truth is that these cuts need to be made through Republican appropriations bills. And the government doesn’t have to be shutdown in order to make these cuts.

I’m glad we were able to avoid a government shutdown. Now time to get to work reducing wasteful spending in our government.

I’m working diligently in the Senate on a pathway forward to end Democrats’ shutdown, resume critical government services, and pass responsible, transparent appropriations bills to fund the government.

I am pleased to report that as of last night, we have passed three of the fiscal year 2026 appropriations bills. I hope we will be able to continue the good work we began last night with continued bipartisan cooperation.

So far three of my Democrat colleagues have joined Republicans to attempt to reopen the government. If we can get just a few more Democrats to join us, we can end this shutdown and get back to bipartisan appropriations work and the business of the American people.

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.

The short-term continuing resolution was not a gimmick or some partisan maneuver. It was a straightforward measure to keep critical services in operation while giving Congress the time we need to finish our work on appropriations bills through regular order. The way we used to do it! We didn’t have to be in the #SchumerShutdown.

Tonight on the Senate floor, I urged my colleagues to support the bipartisan continuing resolution I worked with members of both parties to craft as Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. After three unnecessary lapses in funding during the fiscal year 2026 cycle, putting the possibility of yet another harmful government shutdown off the table should be a priority for each and every one of us. This straightforward measure would keep the government funded through December 11, protect vital programs and services, and give Congress additional time to continue our work on bipartisan appropriations bills. We cannot allow another damaging shutdown to disrupt the lives of federal workers and the Americans who depend on their work.

This is our chance for a regular-order appropriations process. We’ve already wasted a lot of time on a completely avoidable government shutdown. So, let’s get to work.

In Washington, D.C. and other federal and government buildings are bracing for impact, with U.S. agencies alerted to prepare for an imminent shutdown. Reports indicate that members of the House of Representatives plan to leave for home tomorrow, even if the government shuts down. This follows their rejection of President-elect Donald Trump’s new plan to fund federal operations and suspend the debt ceiling, just one day before the deadline.

Our farmers deserve leaders who are going to work together to find solutions to the challenges they're facing. I was ranked number one for bipartisan bills in the Senate and number three for getting bills signed into law, and that's how I will lead as Governor.

I voted NO on the stop-gap CR to fund the government that would be dead on arrival in the Senate and White House. This is a government that’s weaponized against its political enemies. A government that puts Ukraine’s border above our own. And a government that isn’t working for OUR people. I’m a successful business owner and I’ve always kept my business running. But in the House, we went home for all of August and most of September. We need to stay in Washington to pass our appropriations bills to fund the government the right way, not a CR the Democrat-controlled Senate would refuse to pass and Joe Biden would refuse to sign.

You don’t get to shut down the government every time you don’t get your way. House Republicans have passed 12 out of 12 appropriations bills with strong bipartisan support. Now Senate Democrats are threatening yet another shutdown over bills THEY HELPED WRITE, all to appease the far left’s push to defund ICE. That doesn’t keep Americans safe. It’s reckless political theater. Pass the bills. Fund FEMA and TSA. Keep the government open and do the job the American people sent you to Washington to do.

The GOP-led House passed a spending package reopening the government and President Trump signed it into law late Wednesday, drawing to a close a record-long 43-day shutdown driven by Democrats’ demands to extend expiring healthcare subsides. 🔗
