Herbert, The government shutdown is finally over — and while I’m relieved for our civil servants, for families who rely on food assistance, and for taxpayers who need vital public services — our fight to lower costs is far from finished. I voted against the funding deal because it was a false choice: it opens the government, but does nothing to stop a massive new healthcare tax hitting working families. It does nothing to prevent President Trump from unilaterally cutting the very funding this bill claims to provide — something he’s already done before. But here’s what it does: It allows a small group of self-dealing Senators to hand themselves $1 million checks of taxpayer money because their phones were legally subpoenaed. It writes corruption into law. And it’s outrageous. Click here to read my op-ed about this bad deal in the Baltimore Sun. I’m signing onto legislation to undo this brazen misuse of public funds and to extend critical healthcare subsidies. You have my word: I will keep fighting every single day to lower costs for you and for all Marylanders. But to keep up this fight — and to rebuild the momentum we need — I’m asking for your support today. |
