Senator Mike BraunVerified account

And @senatemajldr said there would be no negotiation between Senate and House versions of proposed legislation. That’s ridiculous. Quit blaming others, work across the aisle, own the issue, do your job and do the right thing. #BeALeader #IAmAConstituent

Senate bill offers Pentagon funding and fewer rules on how agencies can appropriate the funds. The House version, which passed on Tuesday along party lines in the Democratic-controlled chamber, contained more specific rules about standards for care and how money can be used.

And by the way... the House made clear what they would accept. You passed something you knew was unacceptable there, then pointed the finger at them for not accepting the thing they already said was unacceptable. Who, exactly, is playing politics here?

Oh come on Mike. With you there is always time for political posturing.

After Trump has repeatedly and flagrantly used national emergency declarations and EOs to reprogram money for purposes other than what Congress intended the money to be spent on, I do not blame the House for demanding stricter guard rails on how the money is spent.

Give me a break...really!!

Isn't political posturing the senate GOP slogan?

Isn’t being a contrarian exhausting Mike? Think of how much you could accomplish if you were honest, and put the country first instead of straining to retain power.
