Brown | B001313 | shontelbrown.house.gov | shontelbrown | https://shontelbrown.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, DC - Today, Congresswoman Shontel Brown voted against H.R. 10515, legislation to give President-elect Trump, Elon Musk, and radical Republicans a blank check to cut taxes for the wealthy, while removing previously agreed upon bipartisan provisions providing support for families in need and investments in health care, research, and agriculture. Yesterday, Congress reached a bipartisan, bicameral agreement to fund the government, prevent a shutdown, and address the critical needs of farmers, families, children, seniors, veterans, and the men and women in uniform. After Republican Speaker Mike Johnson released the bipartisan agreement, President-elect Donald Trump and Elon Musk forced House Republicans to back out of the bipartisan deal to fund the government and extend vital programs. Today, House Republicans undermined the very deal they negotiated, hastily bringing a new partisan proposal to the floor. The legislation, which failed to pass the House, would have suspended the debt ceiling until January 2027, removing any fiscal check on President-elect Trump’s policies. Congresswoman Brown releases the following statement: “Today, I joined my House Democratic colleagues in standing up for the hardworking people of my district and this country. This is one of those moments where it comes down to who you are fighting for: working people or the billionaires. "We reached a bipartisan agreement yesterday to fund the government and prevent a shutdown, securing vital support for farmers, families, seniors, veterans, and our men and women in uniform. Now, House Republicans have undermined the very deal they struck, egged on by Donald Trump and his unelected billionaire co-President Elon Musk. “Their new partisan proposal would give President-elect Trump a blank check for the next two years, freeing him up to reward the rich on the backs of hardworking Americans. Republican leadership also gutted crucial provisions to help SNAP recipients, much-needed additional farm aid, and necessary investments in medical treatment and research. “In their reckless rush to cut taxes for the rich, Republicans are harming the well-being of working people in my district and across America. A government shutdown will devastate families, disrupt holiday travel, hurt small businesses, hurt veterans and children, and leave essential services like border security and TSA staffing unpaid. This is a reckless and avoidable crisis manufactured by partisans in the Republican party more concerned with holding our government hostage than fulfilling their basic duty to fund services that millions of Americans rely on. “I won’t stop fighting for the working class and I urge my colleagues across the aisle to come back to the table and put forth the bipartisan agreement that they negotiated."
