Washington, D.C. – Rep. Becca Balint released the following statement on the Republican continuing resolution, which lacks critical guardrails to protect our institutions against President Trump’s attempts to dismantle the government: 

“This bill is another gift to Elon Musk and Donald Trump - giving them a pretense to further strip our checks and balances until Trump is truly a king. It does nothing to help working people - in fact, it jeopardizes Social Security, food assistance and reneges on veterans’ medical care. Republicans have ignored the basic necessities and responsibilities of government. This bill would leave us without enough funding for disaster relief or essential infrastructure projects. If Republicans were serious about meeting the needs of Americans, they would have come to the negotiating table.”
