On the recordFebruary 3, 2026
I am going to take that 30 seconds and brag on this guy right here, Tom Cole. He has reengineered, somewhat reinvented a lost appropriations process, and I am eternally grateful. I know I speak for the American people in thanking Mr. Cole for his leadership. I thank my colleagues for this bipartisanship that has been exhibited by this package. A "yes" vote today takes us one step closer to restoring the confidence that the American people should have in this Congress.
