Today, Congressman Brian Babin from Texas's 36th district cast his vote in favor of a clean continuing resolution (CR) to keep the federal government operational. This move aligns with Republican efforts to further President Donald Trump's agenda.

Rep. Babin stated, "While Democrats are busy campaigning for a government shutdown, House Republicans are focused on keeping the government running and delivering for the American people." He emphasized that the CR aims to freeze spending and prevent what he described as wasteful Democratic priorities. The focus remains on border security, reducing governmental inefficiencies, and prioritizing America.

The measure is backed by President Trump as crucial for advancing his administration's key goals. It seeks to curb reckless spending and counteract inflationary policies attributed to Democrats. Additionally, it supports mass deportations of illegal migrants while empowering ICE agents to enforce immigration laws without hindrance. Furthermore, it targets eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending.

Rep. Babin remarked on the political climate in Washington: "The American people are tired of Washington’s dysfunction," he said. He criticized Democrats for allegedly attempting to halt government operations but assured that Republicans are committed to delivering tangible results rather than roadblocks. According to him, this CR represents a victory for both Southeast Texans and Americans nationwide.
