Senate Advances "Minibus" Spending Bills With Illinois Priorities Secured By Durbin, Duckworth

Press Release

"Making sure our government remains open so it can actually help our nation's families requires bipartisan cooperation and compromise in Washington--which is just what these appropriations bills represent. While House Republicans continue to waste time working on partisan packages full of poison pills, I'm proud my Senate colleagues on both sides of the aisle worked together and passed these critical bills to support our Veterans, farmers, working families and the military. It's well past time for House Republicans to finally recognize that governing is about more than pleasing their extreme MAGA base, and I hope they find it within themselves to work with us to prevent a shutdown that would only hurt hardworking taxpayers they claim to care so much about and block critical services that millions of Americans rely on."
