Yeah, I love these guys. I mean, they're all introducing legislation to repeal provisions in a bill that they're going to vote yes on.

I mean, I don't even figure that out.

Mr. Speaker, the previous question is the House Democrats' last attempt to make a change to this rule before it gets voted on.

And I want to use this opportunity to talk about a last-minute provision that was slipped into the CR in the Senate.

It's an outrageous giveaway to pad the pockets of eight Republican senators, and it's one of the most corrupt things I've seen in my life.

So if the House defeats the previous question, I will offer an amendment to rule, to the rule, to consider as adopted an amendment to the continuing resolution

offered by Representative Subramanyan to, that which would strike the corrupt giveaway

out of this, out of the text of this bill, so it does not make it into law.

Mr. Speaker, this is a massive payday for Republicans.

It would allow eight of their senators

to shovel millions, millions of dollars into their own wallets. I'm talking cash money,

not for their states, not for their constituents, no, no, for their own personal bank accounts.

Why should a United States senator or any party get a special right

that nobody else has? No state legislator, no governor, no judge, no citizen in the entire

country has this right. But we are creating it for a handful of Republican senators.

It is immoral. I'd say it's unconstitutional. It is wrong. And it's probably the most brazen theft and

plunder of public resources ever proposed in the United States Congress. And it was tucked into this

legislation. And I want to speak directly to Republicans who say they can't vote with us because it

will delay the reopening of the government. First off, that's exactly what these corrupt senators were hoping you'd say.

Second, we absolutely can send this back to the Senate.

They can quickly strip it and send the bill to the President.

They finish this package in less than two days.
