My friend and I disagree on the two pieces of legislation today, but we absolutely agree that the Committee on Rules' meeting was not fun. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Georgia (Mrs. Greene), my friend.

Our conference refuses to let the obstruction and inaction of Senate Democrats trigger another manufactured shutdown at the end of September. That is why we are acting before a funding lapse crisis, not in response to it.
For anyone questioning this legislation, the facts are simple — it extends the government funding deadline to Dec. 4, denying any party the opportunity to manufacture leverage before elections.
The Senate has wasted the entire year and a half. They have not passed a single bill.
I hold the Democrats in the Senate most responsible, but I don’t excuse the Republicans for letting them do it.
