A vote for the partisan six-month continuing resolution is a vote to greenlight Elon Musk’s continued attacks on government agencies and to flat-fund and cut services constituents like me need. This harms everyone from veterans to children to the elderly, while impacting virtually every aspect of our lives including public education and the staffing to help Social Security beneficiaries, including the aging and those with disabilities. It would allow drastic increases in funding for detention of immigrants with no oversight to prevent underfunding of efforts to combat illegal drugs or human trafficking. Any member of Congress who votes for this CR is aiding and abetting attacks on public health and nutrition, affordable housing, substance use treatment, veterans’ care, and rural services. A vote for this CR is a vote for large-scale cuts to human needs programs and to continue indiscriminate firing of federal workers across the country including 6,000 veterans, entrenching Elon Musk’s attacks on our government and on civil servants. I urge you to vote NO on the partisan continuing resolution that both enables Musk’s attacks and that flat funds and cuts urgent needs at a time of increasing need for our residents. Thanks.
