Tom Cole: “I think they should go to jail regardless of their age.”

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.

I hold the Democrats in the Senate most responsible, but I don’t excuse the Republicans for letting them do it.

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

We will engage where it matters, we will invest where it counts, and we will demand accountability for every dollar spent.
