(From Seventh District Congressman Eric Burlison)On Tuesday, the House passed a six-month continuing resolution (CR) to fund the federal government at current spending levels through September 30, 2025.
While I’ve consistently opposed CRs—because Congress should be passing 12 single-subject appropriations bills—I cautiously supported this CR after discussions with the Trump administration.
I’m putting my trust in President Trump’s commitment to cutting waste, fraud, and abuse, something Congress has repeatedly failed to do. President Trump has tools to fight back, and I’m confident his administration will use rescissions and impoundment to block wasteful spending and force Congress to finally rein in its addiction to runaway budgets.
This CR isn’t perfect, but if it gives Trump the ability to hold the line on spending and enforce real discipline, it’s a step in the right direction.

Fall in line waxman, thats what you do best. A near 100% voting record of aligning with all magat legislation. Your post sounds like you want us all to believe you're your own guy willing to vote against trump. Poppycock! I don't think you have the courage or wisdom to do anything other than get in line and be told what to do just like the 77 million chicken little deplorables who voted in a narcissistic dictator wannabe and ironically, can't think for themselves either.
What's that on his nose?
It's orange...is it pumpkin?

So sorry Melvin, apparently you're a member of the 77 million klan so I have to question your choices if you support wholesale destruction of the constitution and economy. If you think this is better than biden bush,clinton,Obama, bush and reagan, then not real sure I want you driving my bus, investing my money, or doing surgery anywhere on this body. Hmm,
Anonymous 1:49, reread what Melvin wrote..
My kids have measles, my wife’s been locked up by ICE, and my business has gone bankrupt because of tariffs. But at least I know that Trump got rid of DEI.
Randy, I've read it 3x looking for a meaning that I might have missed.....can't find it. I stand with the majority who disapprove of the trump/musk wholesale disposal of hard working Americans and unfettered access to sensitive information. Is there a need to address waste, fraud, and abuse? Absolutely! The last people on earth I would trust to fix it would a 34x charged felon who led an insurrection and the richest man on earth who's nazi inspired and has aspirations to rule the world. Is there something that I've missed?
"Trump's commitment to waste, fraud and abuse"
And at least we have the most emotionally disturbed leader on earth supposedly going after waste, fraud, and abuse......just to make your life better 322......ya right.
It looks like Anonymous 5:13 has it covered. Melvin said Trump was committed to waste, fraud and abuse, not to cutting waste, fraud and abuse. In other words, unless he made a mistake in his comment, he agrees with you.
Talk about WASTE - the Woke, DEI, CRT, Pronoun Shaming Groups - has Cost Americans - BILLIONS of DOLLARS and Hours and Hours of Wasted Productivity in Business and Government - - trying to Force Change upon the Majority of People - trying to Shame and Humiliate Girls - To Use the same Restrooms of Trans, to Share Locker Rooms with them and Force Girls to Compete against 6' 2", 225Lbs - Lady Boys - - because they want to dress up and look like Biological Girls - What a JOKE...
1:49PM - You need to get your FACTS Correct it was the Democratic Party that Started and Funded the KLAN - - It was founded in 1865 during Reconstruction in the devastated South. Various historians have characterized the Klan as America's first terrorist group. Historian Eric Foner observed: "In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic party, the planter class, and all those who desired restoration of white supremacy.
LEARN YOUR FACTS ABOUT THE KLAN - IT SERVED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY........................

And you want to DARE ASK ABOUT - Why everyone is questioning the Waste, Fraud, and Abuse in the Government - - OMG - What a bunch of Looney Tunes.
The USAID - is just a Front for Crazy Wasteful and Fraudulent Funding - -
Bingo! You got it right, Randy. Thanks
I am going to go out on a limb and say at 37 trillion in debt plus using a printing machine to pay the bills + interest on the debt our days are numbered regardless of who is in charge. This issue has been festering for years and there are more than just one group/person that caused it.
Yes, USAID is a front...the fraudulent spending from grants provided by this program had, until DOGE, funded the development of disease resilient crops at K-State. A program the was able to develop and deploy seeds for field crops that enable countries to become less dependent on foreign aid for grains.
The fraud at Johns Hopkins is another example. The 2K employees laid off that were involved in biomedical research to combat diseases worldwide is criminal. We should allow diseases to spread from other nations that will, because of the way disease is spread, reach the US. Of course, Covid was a fake disease right?
I don't know why you are so against DEI. You would benefit from it having a diminished mental capacity.
