"Ultimately, I don't control what the final language of the total funding bill will be," said Higgins. Higgins voted against the bill, despite securing $2.3 million in federal funding for an emergency operations center at the port in Morgan City, Louisiana. He was one of 20 House members — 15 Republicans and 5 Democrats — who voted against Friday's government funding bill despite securing so-called "earmarks," known officially as congressionally directed spending. Related storiesThe other 30% was contained in a separate funding bill passed roughly two weeks ago, but that bill contained far more earmarks, especially for House members. Nonetheless, 42 House members who secured earmarks voted against it anyway, 40 of whom were Republicans.

☆ House Republicans stand by their decision to oust George Santos even as it cost them a GOP seat: 'You have to have standards'

Several GOP lawmakers who voted to expel George Santos told Politico they stand by their votes. Last week, Democrat Tom Suozzi flipped Santos' former seat in a House special election. And even though Suozzi flipped the seat blue, the Republicans who backed Santos' ouster said they continue to stand behind their votes. Advertisement"I didn't shrink the Republican majority — George Santos shrunk it by his actions," Lawler told the outlet. Santos has criticized the New York Republicans who voted to remove him from Congress.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat, told young climate activists in 2019, "You didn't vote for me."

"Younger Democrats tend to have a much more friendly relationship and response to the party's activist class than older Democrats do." Fossil-fuel interests have played a central role in stymieing progress on climate change for decades. Nearly a decade later, Trump ran for and won the presidency — with Gingrich's early and staunch support — while calling climate change a "hoax."
