Instead, they have allowed the authorization of the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to lapse, ignored the plight of hundreds of thousands of young immigrants affected by the cancelation of the DACA program, and failed to provide adequate disaster relief to Americans swamped by hurricanes and scorched by wildfires. All of these problems have readily available bipartisan solutions that Republican leaders refuse to bring to the Floor, instead choosing to kick the can down the road another two weeks. I cannot support a bill that leaves so many people in limbo and that was crafted behind closed doors with no Democratic input. Republicans need to drop their dangerous policies to cut taxes for the wealthy and instead reach across the aisle to actually govern.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
