A government shutdown would give more power to Trump.

Our caucus is unified on a clean April 11 CR that will keep the government open and give Congress time to negotiate bipartisan legislation that can pass.

For sure, the Republican bill is a terrible option.

The Republican bill is a terrible option.

"For sure, the Republican bill is a terrible option," the New York Democrat said, calling the bill "deeply partisan" and urging that "it doesn't address far too many of this country's needs." "But I believe allowing Donald Trump to take…

Donald Trump and Republicans have wanted to take away Americans' hard-earned entitlement benefits for a very long time. This week, Elon Musk said the quiet part out loud, and every single American should be alarmed. He said: Most of the…
