Louisiana has two Republican Senators.. Senator John Kennedy who is awesome, but a lot of times vote for pork barrel spending which at times pisses me off.. Then you anti-Trump pedo looking chode Cassidy for the other Senator, who needs to get his ass primaried in 2026…. Kennedy, unlike Cassidy is exposing the Democrat’s spending demands to reopen the government, including funding for illegal alien health care.
Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy took to the Senate floor Friday and laid out a list of projects he said Democrats are insisting be restored before they agree to reopen the federal government.
Senate Democrats blocked a bipartisan stopgap funding bill on Friday, leaving the shutdown to drag into next week after only three crossed the aisle in support. Kennedy accused Democrats of holding the government hostage to restore what he described as millions in wasteful foreign projects and said lawmakers had already stripped the provisions from the budget, only to see the party’s left flank threaten to keep the shutdown going unless the money is put back in.
“We just eliminated money for all forms of media in the Affordable Care Act. Now those are the demands. I’ll mention one more. Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez got very, very upset, as did the socialist wing of the party, when the president sent over what’s called a rescission package. Basically, President Trump just said we want you to take some stuff out of the budget that we think is wasteful, and we did,” Kennedy said. “And that upset the congresswoman. She’s entitled to be upset if she wants to, but that really upset the socialist wing of the party. And so we took out, and here’s what they want us to put back in.”
