A supporter, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said the bill "would pay our troops and fund SNAP [food stamps], Head Start, veterans programs, and pay our staffers." An opponent, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said: "We need to lower people's healthcare costs. We need to reopen the government. We need to extend the ACA premium credits."

NAYS: Coons D-DE, Blunt Rochester D-DE

Tim Kaine, D-Va., that would have required ending the use of the U.S. military against Venezuela without specific authorization from Congress. Kaine cited indications that the military could be preparing for an invasion and attack against Venezuela's government before calling on senators to "stand strong for the proposition that Congress should have the power and, indeed, the responsibility to have a debate and have a vote on it before we ordered our troops to risk their lives. A motion opponent, Sen. James E. Risch, R-Idaho, said of the U.S. attacks on suspected Venezuelan drug-carrying motorboats: "Every time we take a strike and we send tons of these poisonous drugs to the bottom of the ocean, thousands of American lives have been saved." The vote, on Nov. 6, was 49 yeas to 51 nays.
YEAS: Coons D-DE, Blunt Rochester D-DE

Tom Cole, R-Okla., to provide funding for federal government programs through November 21, and increase spending on security for government officials. A supporter, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said the bill "would pay our troops and fund SNAP [food stamps], Head Start, veterans programs, and pay our staffers." An opponent, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said: "We need to lower people's healthcare costs. We need to reopen the government. We need to extend the ACA premium credits."

YEAS: Murkowski R-AK, Sullivan R-AK
Senate Vote 2:

A supporter, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, called Tung an outstanding appellate lawyer with stellar credentials and reputation, who "will make a phenomenal judge and serve this nation honorably and with distinction."

Tim Kaine, D-Va., that would have required ending the use of the U.S. military against Venezuela without specific authorization from Congress. Kaine cited indications that the military could be preparing for an invasion and attack against Venezuela's government before calling on senators to "stand strong for the proposition that Congress should have the power and, indeed, the responsibility to have a debate and have a vote on it before we ordered our troops to risk their lives. A motion opponent, Sen. James E. Risch, R-Idaho, said of the U.S. attacks on suspected Venezuelan drug-carrying motorboats: "Every time we take a strike and we send tons of these poisonous drugs to the bottom of the ocean, thousands of American lives have been saved."

YEAS: Murkowski R-AK
