Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I rise today in support of the Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026.
History reminds us that shutdowns never change the outcome—only the cost paid by the American people. Over the last forty-three days, the facts did not shift, the votes required did not shift, and the path forward did not change. The only thing that did move was the level of pain Democrats inflicted on the nation.
