THREAD: 21 Senators voted to proceed to the $1.7 trillion omnibus – & to spend billions we do not have, empower Biden bureaucrats with no fixes, & block us from securing the border for at least 9 mos. Some are friends, one my former boss.. but unless… (1/13) #StandUpForAmerica pic.twitter.com/31qkrlWG6d

…they change their vote on final passage, I don’t care & will oppose their bills/priorities – & not for revenge, but b/c it’s the only tool I have to pressure them to stop doing this to us. This vote is indefensible, & damaging to Texas. It takes away our leverage to… …force Biden to secure the border & in fact specifically says new DHS money can only be used to process MORE people – which will lead to more fentanyl, violence, & death. For Texans, this alone is reason enough to oppose this terrible bill …But the Chamber has always carried the day on border & immigration for the GOP, hasn’t it? And now we face a deadly crisis, and they STILL can’t act. They just say “well, it’s the best we’re going to do.” What do they mean by that? Well, @LeaderMcConnell told you it’s …about getting $47BB more for Ukraine & 10% more “defense” spending. You think it’s an accident that Zelensky is coming to Congress TODAY? Meanwhile, he & other Senate GOP claim it’s because House conservatives won’t “govern.” To be clear – what that really means is… …“defense spending – for us & Ukraine – trumps Americans’ concerns about mounting debt, out-of-control bureaucrats, and wide open borders.” It means “we’re the adults in the room, so sit down while we continue the status quo & cut big $ deals with Democrats…… – Chip Roy
Most names are not a surprise but I’m disappointed in Rubio and especially Cornyn

I brought along the 1.7 trillion, 4,000+ page Pelosi-Schumer omnibus spending bill that's being fast-tracked through the Senate. This process stinks. It's an abomination. It's a no good rotten way to run government. We're standing up and saying NO. pic.twitter.com/Wom6xKEeQh

Senate Republicans need to demand the Omnibus bill be read word for word on the Senate floor.
Delay the process, and ruin Mitch's Christmas the way he's trying to ruin America's.
