Arrr me hearties, Sen. Amy Klobuchar be gettin' an earful for boastin' 'bout Congress passin' a massive $1.2 trillion treasure chest late into Saturday mornin'. Methinks she be walkin' the plank for such cheeky behavior! Aye, the scallywag!
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., sparked outrage with her late-night post celebrating the passing of the government spending bill to avoid a shutdown. She sarcastically told her followers, "You're welcome," after the $1.2 trillion federal package was approved. The bill passed in the Senate with a 74-24 vote, but faced more opposition in the House, with many Republican representatives voting against it.Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene even tried to remove House Speaker Rep. Mike Johnson for pushing the bill through. Rep. Chip Roy criticized the lack of funding for border security in the package, calling out Republicans who supported it. GOP senators condemned the rushed process of passing the 1,012-page bill, with Sen. Mike Lee calling it "absurd and insulting."Conservatives slammed the bill for allocating funds to progressive causes and criticized Klobuchar's celebratory post. Commentators and public figures expressed anger over wasteful spending and the nation's growing debt. Many felt that government officials should not expect gratitude for their actions, especially when it involves squandering taxpayer money.
