"For three weeks, radical MAGA Republicans embarrassingly placed this Congress in a complete standstill and put the division they bring to themselves and this country on full display. Democrats are and have always been prepared to pass a federal budget, address global discord, and continue building the framework for working-class prosperity. Unfortunately, it’s likely the Republican majority will now be more focused on an ideology that includes defending attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, criminalizing a woman's right to choose, cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and endangering LGBTQ+ and minority communities," said Congressman Kweisi Mfume. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:49:26Z |
