The country is less than three days away from a Lauren Boebert-led government shutdown, and House Republicans have all but abandoned any hope of averting one to pursue their extreme agenda that attacks the middle class. Their failure comes after weeks of chaos, in-fighting, and dysfunction.
This GOP-manufactured shutdown hurts working families across the country, massively impacting:
Essential workers – like firefighters, law enforcement officers, and members of the armed forces – would be forced to put their lives on the line without any pay. Reminder: There are 48 active wildfires in Colorado right now.
Small business owners attempting to apply for federal loans to keep their businesses going.
Federal efforts to combat the opioid epidemic and fight dangerous fentanyl trafficking, directly impeding law enforcement’s ability to stop the deadly flow of fentanyl across our Southern Border.
FEMA’s ability to review and approve applications for aid after a major disaster – including applications for individual assistance – during hurricane season and an unprecedented wildfire season could be severely restricted and delayed.
DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“Lauren Boebert is proudly leading her party straight into a government shutdown. Make no mistake – her shutdown will harm Colorado’s veterans, small businesses, and economy – and we’ll make it clear to the American public who’s to blame for all the chaos and dysfunction.”
