Legislative Branch Funding Bill Takes Us Back

Press Release

"This bill halts the progress made in recent years, raises concerns about Congress's ability to maintain constituent services, and does not fully fund personnel needs for the United States Capitol Police at a time when threats against Members and staff are on the rise. We made progress last Congress, but this bill takes us backward. The House Republican playbook is clear. They are cherry-picking the bills they consider easiest to pass so they can continue hiding their biggest promised cuts that will lead to hundreds of thousands of families losing their homes and the child care that helps them keep their jobs, eliminate job training programs that boost our economy, and kick hundreds of local cops off the street. Beyond the fact that we cannot support bills when we only know the smallest piece of the overall funding puzzle, this bill falls short of ensuring we can sustain a strong and well-functioning Legislative Branch that is essential to our democracy."
