Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me: The American people!

[JLT]

We the American people want you to stop these omnibus spending bills! The spending should be voted on individually

[TheWillwillwill]

According to her the budget is all about families. So is she saying there is no pork? It’s all BS!

[PhillyCuhh]

She forgot boosting thier pay..which they dont deserve

[rubbersoulgirl]

They tried to seek a pay raise for themselves, b4 trump got in. SHAME!

[turbonerd]

Americans: Stop the spending
Congress: nah, and we need a raise

[zinjanthropus]

Their forked tongues are coming out. The people know what you added to that bill.

[juliabaumer]

Make the government do it right this time instead of putting the United States of America in debt again and help everyone on social security before Christmas please

[billyjarratt]

She should be embarrassed of herself. What does she think that she is doing for "WE THE PEOPLE?". Let's not start talking about ego either...all gaslighting and lies from the WHIP.

[MeowmyandMe]

blame house republicans all you want...someone has to stop this insanity eventually. Kicking the can down the road every time has done nothing but make this issue worse

[deb]

Worried about your pay raise Democratic whip?

[binggo]

IF THE DEMS ARE AGAINST IT THEN ITS GOOD FOR AMERICANS. FJB !

[wiz]

Democratic Doom and gloom as always.. Half truths with blame pushing .. Gotta love it. We're not going to build you a brand new football stadium so you'll sign a bill. Period

[rgarri]

She did not mention all the waste and raise for them. God bless trump!

[moogleken]

You should ask her why there’s so many other pork in the bill

[Tonyt-pv]

Why do they always want to vote on a CR Bill 4 days before Christmas and expect our politicians to read 1500 pages which is impossible to do before voting. Well done to Trump and Musk for stopping this madness. Corporate business would never accept this "poor" planning.

[lamarkiuscox]

It was a bipartisan bill meaning republicans and democrats agreed on it. This is a republican issue now. When those federal empoyees are out if work, thank president musk

[JUSTaddAlcohol]

Well that's absolutely BS. If the Dems pull the Pork then the Republicans will Vote for the funding. We need to reduce the cost of Government. Last I checked it's a tiny bit overbudget.

[kellyperry]

GOOD JOB PRESIDENT TRUMP N ELON MUSK!! Thank you for saving the American people. SHUT IT DOWN!!

[exwp]

She should be on trial for treason. The bill males it illegal to subpoena legislators email and texts. It ties the hands of the president to reduce spending. I gives congress a raise. Do they deserve a raise?
