"Despite their inevitable attempts to blame Democrats for their actions, their words have made the situation perfectly clear: extreme MAGA Republicans are itching for a costly government shutdown -- no matter the consequences for the American people. If MAGA Republicans cause yet another government shutdown, the American people will know exactly who is responsible. Speaker McCarthy and House Republicans have reneged on the bipartisan budget agreement they themselves negotiated and are driving our nation towards a shutdown in a desperate attempt to impose their extreme agenda on American families. It's time for them to end this hostage scheme and stop using American families as pawns in their political games."
