Crenshaw urges Senate to reopen government | JQJO

Rep. Dan Crenshaw said the funding impasse rests with Senate Democrats, arguing the House already passed a seven week clean CR and he doesn’t expect the chamber to return this week. He warned SNAP aid faces a shortfall—the emergency fund is about $6 billion versus $9 billion in monthly benefits—and said a Houston food bank is bracing for higher demand. On Venezuela, he backed current strikes on drug boats under presidential authority and dismissed talk of invasion, noting limited briefings. He also echoed Sen. Ted Cruz in condemning Tucker Carlson’s platforming of Nick Fuentes and urged conservatives to disassociate.
