Because Kevin McCarthy can’t govern and Republicans can’t get their extremist, deeply unpopular agenda passed, they want to shut down the government.
They’re playing political games with people's lives, and as always, it’s the most vulnerable who will suffer.
A Republican shutdown could mean:
This is unconscionable. Republicans should advance a simple funding bill to keep the government running and continue to provide the basic, essential services people need. You know, do their jobs.
And as a cherry on top, thanks to this Republican cruelty, our communities are facing not only the threat of a government shutdown, but also the financial cliff of student loan payments resuming October 1st.
I want to be extremely clear: If Republicans force us into a government shutdown – then I’m calling for the Administration to put a freeze on student loan repayments.
Throwing borrowers back into repayment with bad faith loan servicers and an under-staffed Department of Education is a recipe for disaster.
While the Administration works diligently to push back on the corrupt Supreme Court’s obstruction of President Biden’s historic cancellation plan, freezing repayments during a shutdown is the bare minimum we can do at a time when the infrastructure is not there and bad actors will seize on the lack of government capacity.
This government shutdown stands to harm families across the nation, and I will do everything in my power to prevent it.
Yours in service,
Ayanna
