‘The Senate will take up a noncontroversial measure that passed the House with a comfortable bipartisan majority. It presents an opportunity for us to unite and give our all-volunteer military a full fiscal year of reliable funding while we finalize our talks on other subjects. We should seize that opportunity, and not delay any longer in securing current-year funding for the men and women who bravely keep us safe.’

‘In millions of households, thanks to tax reform, paying the bills has already gotten a little less painful. Planning for the future has already gotten a little easier. And this is just the beginning. Soon, millions and millions more Americans will see the impact of tax reform in their paycheck. IRS withholding is going down, take-home pay is going up, and families everywhere will be keeping more of their own hard-earned money.’

‘Last week, a bipartisan majority in the House passed a bill that would fund our national defense through fiscal year 2018... The Senate will soon take up this House-passed bill. I’ve recently heard many of my Democratic colleagues detail the harmful effects of short-term funding measures on our servicemembers. Soon, each one of us will have the chance to vote to give them the certainty they deserve while our other work continues.’
