You’ve heard the Heritage Foundation’s view of the omnibus bill. Now it’s time to hear from the people actually voting on it.

The best tweets I have seen are from Mark Meadows:

– Record spending levels
– No wall/border security
– Obamacare intact
– Funds Planned Parenthood
– Sanctuary Cities funded
– Barely 24 hours to read a 2,300 page bill

This Omnibus is so far from what the forgotten men and women of America voted for. I will oppose it.

Congress is about to vote on a $1.6 trillion funding bill, privately written by congressional leaders (still yet to be made public)–giving members and the public around 24 hours to read its 2,000 pages.

This is the total opposite of what Americans voted for. When will we learn?

Here’s Justin Amash from Monday:

As early as Wednesday, the House plans to vote on a trillion-dollar spending bill—stuffed with all sorts of unrelated measures—and we don’t even have the text. That’s insane. This leadership team has found a way to make the process worse than existed under @SpeakerBoehner.

and yesterday:

One bill. 2,232 pages of big government.https://t.co/wthc0scoss

Thomas Massie:

Your Republic might have serious issues if elected Congressmen must scour twitter feeds of reporters covering leaks from anonymous senate staffers to know what’s going to be in the 1,000page bill they will be asked to vote on in 24 hours. #ditchFixNICS #sassywithmassie https://t.co/oM2Rkxr1QV

Literally, this is the life of a congressman (who cares about what’s going to be in the bill) right now. SAD! pic.twitter.com/R316RIeF41

Mike Lee:

2,232 pages. $1.3 trillion. 48 hours.

And yet, it will pass, and Trump will sign it. This is how they did the tax bill and nobody talks about that process anymore — except to remind many of the complainers that they complained about that, too, and voted for it anyway.

Nothing ever changes.

Well, one thing may change, later this year: who controls Congress.
