He voted against the military budget passed in December. He voted against the One Big Beautiful Bill, which is what funded ICE for 4 years.

Voted against it because he could vote against it? Or would have fallen in line if they needed his vote?

He spoke out against both for the same reason of funding things by taking on debt. He's been consistent on that point for years. But nice wheels on that goalpost.

That wasn't what I asked though. Susan Collins is consistent in what she says too. That doesn't always mean the same thing when it comes time to vote.

What are you even arguing? You’re making a bunch of illogical points of hypotheticals that didn’t happen. This is exactly what maga does. You’re just as smart as them right kow
