Rep. Rosendale Opposes D.C. Cartel Continuing Resolution

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congressman Matt Rosendale (MT-02) voted against the Senate Amendment to H.R. 2872 - Further Additional Continuing Appropriations and Other Extensions Act, 2024. He did so on the grounds that there were no additions to strengthen the border in the bill and it actually increases spending for the Biden, Pelosi, and D.C. Cartel’s Radical Leftist agenda that will plunge our country even further into debt.

Rosendale says:

“One of these days I'm going to post a happy video for you, but it's not today.

“Unfortunately, the House of Representatives just passed another CR to continue Nancy Pelosi's budget and Joe Biden's policies, which include wokeness in our military, the funding of the alphabet agencies that are weaponized against every one of us - the IRS, the ATF, the DOJ - and also the new green deal provisions that have enriched the left throughout the last couple of years.

“Meanwhile, our border is left without any additional security, as you can see over my shoulder, the border is in worse shape now than it has ever been and Biden continues his administration to see new records with the amount of illegals entering into our country.”

Key Background:
  • During an appropriations lapse, VA programs that remain active include:
    • VA disability compensation
    • VA medical care
    • Veteran’s pension program
    • Veteran’s education programs
    • Veteran’s housing benefits
  • Other programs that would be unaffected include:
    • Social Security checks being issued and delivered 
    • SNAP benefits
    • National Parks would likely stay open as they did during the 2018-2019 shutdown
  • Rosendale also cosponsored Congressman Andy Biggs’s (AZ-05) Funding a Secure America Act which would have provided full funding for:
    • Military servicemembers
    • CBP and ICE personnel performing border security and enforcement functions
    • TSA
    • Air traffic controllers
    • Veteran’s Affairs staff
