I am joined by over 80 of my Democratic colleagues to say the quiet part out loud: MAGA Republicans want us to default. They want to run out the clock. They want to lead our government by chaos. By sending us home, by refusing to do their…

$1 billion, would be saved with work requirements. If the Republicans do what they intend to do and reinstate the Trump tax cuts or extend the Trump tax cuts, we are talking about adding $3.5 trillion to the deficit.
