Efforts to pass bipartisan FY 2024 bills to avert a partial government shutdown are facing challenges due to disputes over policy riders. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer warns of a looming shutdown caused by extreme House Republicans. House Republicans are criticized for risking a shutdown by prioritizing political games over the needs of Americans.
We are days away from a completely preventable government shutdown that would disrupt the lives and livelihoods of thousands of Virginians and damage our economy. @SpeakerJohnson and the House GOP majority must work with Democrats to fund the government in a responsible way.
Instead of working together to pass a bipartisan budget, extremist republicans prioritize political games over the safety and stability of the American people. Yet again, we are headed towards a shutdown this Friday, with Republicans showing no plan to avert this crisis.
The @HouseGOP has no plan to pass a budget before the government is due to shut down in four days. Instead fighting for the American people, @SpeakerJohnson is fighting to include his party’s unpopular, draconian policy riders that don’t stand a chance of being signed into law.
Just days before another harmful Republican shutdown, even members of the GOP are calling on the Speaker to end his obstruction, work with Democrats, & pass a bipartisan budget that meets the needs of American families & our democratic allies around the world. #PeopleOverPolitics https://t.co/2I6VS85bjT
We shouldn't have a government #shutdown, and it's my hope that we won't, but the House GOP have done almost nothing to pass an FY24 budget since Speaker Johnson laid out his March deadline. They've given us a fake #BorderCrisis, an imploding #impeachment attempt, but no budget. https://t.co/bD8nDWi1er
With the government set to shutdown in only days, House Republicans have presented no proposal to avert this crisis. Instead, they have chosen only to continue their political games that gamble with American livelihoods. Their party is fundamentally unserious.
MAGA House Republicans are on their fourth potential government shutdown since assuming the majority. They continue to put their unpopular, unworkable agenda above the needs of the American people. https://t.co/y0JbuYUW1h
REMINDER: the government shuts down in FOUR days and do-nothing Republicans still have no plan to pass a budget and keep our country moving. They are incapable of governing.
Days away from Republicans risking the people's lives and livelihoods, and our economic recovery with ANOTHER potential government shutdown. Their 4th this Congress. 🚩🚩🚩🚩
The clock is ticking to fund the government. Republicans need to get serious about avoiding a shutdown that could disrupt the lives of millions of Americans.
