We’re nearing a Government shutdown – all because the GOP can’t get its act together.
In an attempt to undermine all potential bipartisan cooperation, last week, Trump informed Congress of his plans to cut $5 billion in foreign aid funding through a rarely-used budgetary tactic called “pocket rescissions.” Due to this draconian maneuver, Trump and his allies are working to shut down valuable parts of the government and further chip away at the power that Congress is supposed to hold.
Instead of upholding the Constitution and standing up for hardworking Americans, MAGA Republicans are allowing the President to trample all over our democracy. Their willingness to risk a government shutdown is not just ridiculous, it’s a threat to the stability of our nation.
Shontel Brown is proud to be elected as the Congresswoman for Ohio’s 11th District. She has spent the last decade serving the people of Ohio and building coalitions. As she enters her second full term in Congress, she will use that experience to continue the fight for affordable quality health care, jobs that pay fair wages, a strong public education system, and to preserve and protect our democracy for generations to come. Will you join her and be the change we need?
