Dear friend,
Extreme MAGA Republicans in the House are marching America toward a government shutdown. Speaker McCarthy reneged on the bipartisan agreement passed in June to restrain spending and avert a default at the behest of extreme right-wing members. They are threatening his speakership unless he agrees to severe cuts to investments that families count on – health care, child care, education, military and public safety. Senate Republicans oppose the MAGA shutdown plan. House Republicans are on an island by themselves.
Meanwhile, in a hopeful path forward, Senate Democrats and Republicans are moving bipartisan appropriations bills. House Democrats will work with them and the White House to avoid a costly shutdown. A shutdown forced by House Republicans will harm the economy, furlough workers, close parks, and is entirely unnecessary. The American people will not stand for putting our national security at risk and holding paychecks. House Democrats will continue fighting to protect the American people and our national security.
