Tom Cole: “This whole issue of force, this predates this freeze, of forced relocations is really interesting.”

The Senate has wasted the entire year and a half. They have not passed a single bill.

It reinforces support for key allies - like Israel and Taiwan - and directly counters threats from Communist China and other regimes that challenge our interests and principles.

It gives the nation and our constituents certainty, certainty that the government will remain open, certainty that our service members will be paid.

The bill before us is a clean, narrowly tailored continuing resolution that keeps the government open and operating. Nothing more. Nothing less.
