A clean 45-day Continuing Resolution that keeps government open and does not cut essential services to American families and communities was the only solution to ending extremist Republican chaos and obstruction. With this current crisis avoided, it is clear that the only long-term solution is for Speaker McCarthy and House Republicans to work in a bipartisan fashion with Democrats on an Appropriations process that funds the government for a full year – just like Democrats did last Congress and have been saying for months. If House Republicans fail to do so, we will have a repeat of this funding crisis in November. “I voted for this bill to keep our government open. However, I am deeply concerned that assistance to Ukraine was not included in this Continuing Resolution. With government funding only extended for 45 days, we must start working now to provide additional security and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine so that they have the resources to defend their democracy and protect their people from Russian atrocities.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z |
