It’s good that we were able to produce a much-improved CR to keep the government funded and avert a shutdown that no one wants.
Importantly, we closed the loophole in House Republicans' CR that would have allowed the Trump administration to transfer funding provided for other programs to Border Patrol, which desperately needs reform, not more money.
Unfortunately, this hearing has done exceptionally little to justify the president’s request or to instill confidence that this administration has an exit plan or a strategy to end the war.
This administration doesn’t want to deal with advice and consent—they just want to install cronies to carry out a corrupt political agenda.
