Rep. Pat Fallon, Texas Republican, slammed the newly passed $1.7 trillion omnibus bill, vowing that House Republicans will put a stop to such last-minute funding packages when they take over the House next month.

“The adults in the room will finally be in the majority in the House of Representatives,” Mr. Fallon said Monday on Fox News. “We only guarantee certain things when you control one of the three levers of government. One of the things that we can guarantee are these trillion-dollar spending bills outside the regular budgetary process will end.”

His pledge came a day after he blasted the package as “an absolute piece of garbage” and a “gross dereliction of duty” on Fox’s “Sunday Morning Futures.
