For his part, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said on Wednesday he's airing some of his grievances about wasteful government spending "early" ahead of his annual "Festivus" report, according to Fox News.13 @HouseGOP to @SenateGOP: “…we are obliged to inform you that if any omnibus passes in the remaining days of this Congress, we will oppose and whip opposition to any legislative priority of those senators who vote for this bill – including the… leader.”#StandUpForAmerica pic.twitter.com/AVAHmESbKF

"In case you were wondering: yes, I’m airing a few of my grievances early. But don’t worry, I’ve got plenty more coming," Paul tweeted.
A day earlier, Paul tweeted a photo of him standing behind a cart holding the 4,155 pages of the bill, stating, "I wonder how long it would take the clerk to read this…"
"1.7 Trillion of Hazardous Debt," "Beware debt hazard of 1.7 trillion added to the national debt" and "Greatest threat to our national security: 1.7 trillion added to the debt."
The Kentucky Republican pushed back on other lawmakers who complained that he was holding up the bill because, he said, Congress has had months to put together a government funding package after debate and consideration but the Democrats refused to do so. Now, he said, they want to ram something through before they lose control.
"The process stinks. It's an abomination. It's a no good, rotten way to run your government. $6 trillion entity. And they want 24 hours to process this and then they want to go forward," Paul said.
