John, last night, I voted NO against the "Fiscal Responsibility Act" and I'm here to tell you why.
During the entire duration of the debt ceiling negotiations, MAGA Republicans held the American people hostage in order to exact their political and personal interests at the expense of working people. This is not a criticism, it's a fact.
When we are elected to office, we take on a moral and ethical obligation to fight for our constituents and their values. That's why I am more than invested in holding bad actors accountable and supporting real solutions that match the urgency of the moment's we're facing daily.
While the Biden Administration was able to walk back many of the extreme GOP's worst ideas, we should have never even been in this situation to begin with. Due to Republicans' inability to show up for working people and their need to protect the wealthiest individuals and corporations at the expense of the people:
This was a manufactured crisis created by Republicans that will have very dangerous consequences for our future. It proved to us all that Republicans are willing to ignore the rule of law, ignore our obligations to be our debts, and ignore the needs of our constituents if it fits their political ends.
I know that this is not the way that Congress should do business. And I am determined to rebuild our democracy to be one that values compassion, care, and inclusivity to ensure everyone has a chance to thrive, not just survive. If you're with me, please contribute to our movement today to keep up our momentum and continue fighting for our future.
Together,
Pramila Jayapal
