Today, Representative Tim Walz released the following statement after the House GOP refused to stop playing political games with our economy and forced a government shutdown.

"Ensuring the government remains open is one of Congress' most basic responsibilities. It's incredibly reckless that the House Majority has yet again chosen party over country and abdicated its duties in order to play political games and pander to their Tea Party base. Enough is enough. The American people deserve better. The Majority must stop the games, start doing the most basic work they were sent here to do, and reopen the government."
