Unanimous Consent Request--H.R. 2069 (Executive Calendar)
Senator Ernst asked the Senate to pass the Stop Secret Spending Act by unanimous consent. The bill would require federal agencies to report spending under other transaction agreements, a type of contract that is currently hard to track, on the public USAspending.gov website. Ernst said the change would let taxpayers see how their money is spent and cited examples of spending she described as wasteful. Senator Cruz said he supports the bill but objected to passing it now, saying he is holding up House bills until the House agrees to take up bills the Senate has already passed, including one he wrote. Ernst responded that good bipartisan bills should pass regardless of which chamber originated them, and noted a list of House bills pending in the Senate.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
