Weak Democrats Cave to the Far-Left to Shut Down the Government

Rapid Response

Democrats are willing to shut down the government unless they get $1.5 trillion for a radical wish list — putting America at risk to please the far-left.
 


 

210 spineless House Democrats and 46 Senate Democrats voted for a shutdown — all voting against:

  • Supporting our military and our troops
  • Critical veterans care and assistance programs
  • Increased Member security in the wake of the evil assassination of Charlie Kirk
  • Allowing Air traffic controllers and TSA agents to keep Americans flying safely and on time
  • Firefighter pay for wildland fire response
  • Food assistance for low‑income women, infants, and children
  • Small business loans that help Main Street survive and grow
  • Disaster relief funding for FEMA
  • Low‑income rental assistance and funding for homeless veterans and families
  • Community Health Centers and rural mental health funding
  • Implementing protections against surprise medical billing to shield patients from unexpected costs

Democrats lack the backbone to stand up to the far-left even when it's hardworking Americans who will pay the price.
