Where are our Republican colleagues? They are in charge in this Chamber. They manufactured this crisis. If any of my neighbors left work before noon, they would be fired. The country is on a deadline, and the Republicans that are in charge in this Chamber just simply left. The real mind-boggling part is that these same MAGA Republicans that manufactured this crisis voted not once, not twice, but three times under the previously forever-impeached President with no issues. Republicans love to talk about fiscal this, spending that, but not when it comes to tax cuts to mega-billionaires or when it comes to funding bombs and wars that our country and our world doesn't need. They are so completely disconnected with the American people and what the lives of the American people are like. A delay in Social Security checks would hurt our seniors. Creating instability of whether or not they are going to have healthcare coverage next week is just simply wrong. A default on our debt for the first time in our history would be devastating for the American people, and they just left. ____________________
