Download official Senate Record PDFReturn to issue contextMr. President, on DHS, in a very rare moment, I am asking Republicans to actually listen to Donald Trump on a particular issue. He is not right very much. He is wrong almost all the time. But on this issue, House Republicans should do what he says: Pass the Senate's DHS bill.
what Democrats have been saying all along: It is because of House Republicans that the Secret Service, FEMA, Coast Guard, TSA, and CISA remain unfunded. Thirty-five days. It has been 35 days since the Senate unanimously passed DHS funding. Every single Democrat supported it not once but twice.
Republicans are not the holdup. Speaker Johnson and radical House Republicans are the holdup, and everyone knows it. Even the White House knows it, so they said something yesterday.
Republicans, stop dithering. Get your act together. Pass this legislation today before you leave for a week, and send it to the President's desk so he can sign it tonight.
I yield the floor.
I suggest the absence of a quorum.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
The senior assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
Mr. BARRASSO. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
