But the responsibility now lies with Leader McConnell and Speaker Ryan to not just help DREAMers by ending the DACA crisis that President Trump created, but also show whether or not theyre capable of fulfilling their primary responsibility as the majority party in power: passing a budget that adequately funds our government for the remainder of the fiscal year. On four separate occasions so far, Congressional Republicans have shown they are incapable of completing this task of governing. They now have 17 days to learn how to do their job and keep the promise theyve made to the American people. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
